I am interested in visual multimedia design, especially in the context of live performance. Computation applies to this process, of course, by making the creation and projection of the kinds of images that I make possible. I hope that with a further understanding of how the technology that I use every day, I’ll be able to make more thoughtful art.
I have been inspired by pieces that push the boundaries of design to create an exciting world for an audience to step into. Meow Wolf in Santa Fe comes to mind as an example of creative use of computation in storytelling through its clever use of video. And, even though it doesn’t have any video built into it, the exceptional scenic design in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 inspires me to create eccentric, engaging environments.
