      The “Brooklyn/Bognor” series is semi-autobiographical, exploring the effect of “the city” as a space that highlights the character and identity of its inhabitants. This work, from the perspective of the small coastal town, is a study of the city in reverse. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.1” explored identity and image. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.2” questions the perception of the city and its mythical identity; the words of the tour guide overwritten by the experience. “Brooklyn/Bognor pt.3” interacts with the fatuous declarations of the signs of New York.

      Gradual Slip

      In Gradual Slip, a peristaltic pump drips water onto thermal electric cooling plates (TEC) to form mini “glaciers”. After a time of buildup the system shuts down and the plates role rapidly reverses. The plates heat up and the ice slides off onto a tray of dirt and seed. From this point the seeds grow into grass flourishing in the melt water or drying out in its absence. Here the natural element is coping with artificial stresses that are introduced by anthropomorphic forces. The natural environment has evolved into a system in equilibrium. In ecosystems there is a threshold, a limit where the system can no longer function when pushed beyond this boundary. Gradual slip acts as a model of a natural system, exploring this boundary, opening itself up for a dialogue around climate change.

      Electronic Peace Garden, Sonic Wellian

      An important context, both for Colombia and for the world, is that of Peace. Also of vital importance is the human relationship with the environment, a project that articulates and initiates a conversation between Colombia and Aotearoa, New Zealand, using technology for Peace and data in Support of the environment. The electronic garden of peace consists of a live plant and five digital plants placed around a pile of stones. Digital plants emit and flash environmental data - light level, temperature, humidity, and the voltage level of the living plant. Inside the stone pile, is a Sonic Well, a laptop/microphone and speaker, which allows for online interaction.

      membranes

      "Membranes" is a hybridization between the natural element and digital technology. "Membranes" is a new interactive sound sculpture composed of two sensory skins stretched over a circular frame. It is possible to interact alone or together on both sides. The bodies react to the electrostatic contacts of the hands. Each contact produces scalable sounds, depending on the quality of focus and the depth of contact. The two skin surfaces are composed of a sensitive polyphonic score. They are separated by a gap, which is reduced under the action of contacts. This work plays with degrees of proximity between two bodies that interact together. It allows to be listener and sensitive to another visitor who interacts to create, experience sounds produced together.

      “Sopro (The Blow)” is energized by the audience through the force of their breath in a propeller. This art proposal is based on the use of a simple technological system, the poetic of breath and primary scientific principles. The present system in the work also reveals tune with current energy and sustainability issues, inserting them in the context of the art technology.

      Googled Sculptures Series 2017

      The Googled Sculpture series explores this crowdsourced concept of object presence, examining the three most sought after sculptures in Western art history. Using only selected tourist photos from Google image search results for "Venus de Milo," "Michelangelo David," and "Thinker Rodin," the flawed and incomplete similarities are stitched together in photogrammetry software, rendered, and printed on 3D. The resulting jagged figure is a physical manifestation of the web presence. Areas of high and low resolution speak to the focal points and perspectives often captured by visitors to icons of Western sculpture.
