Underpass Sky Voxelation (2025)
This piece is part of my ongoing Experiential Extensions series in which I craft compositions from visual artifacts of my experiences using algorithms and data. I explore and record my surroundings collecting intricate shapes from enclosed edges of visual phenomena, and I create spatial forms using the time data associated with these captured shapes. Unique aesthetics emerge from exploring relationships in the visual and temporal data. I am algorithmically sculpting with the passage of time and my recorded point of view using digital technologies.
