suspended

Suspended (between a hurricane and a breath,) explores data-based sculptures and sound that bridge the algorithmic patterns of a breath to the data of a recent, transformative,  natural 'event'. The three-dimensional print and carved plexi sculpture illuminated with LEDs are based on patterns implemented through a single loop of a breath and a model of hurricane Katrina provided by NASA open source. The frequencies of the breath inform vertices that manifest in abstractions, while the hurricane is transformed into a video shader, and three dimensionally on top of the printed sculpture in ultra reduced scale. Sound played in the gallery is based on both data sets. This series was created during an artist residency at the Visible Future Labs, School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.
