Amulets-Ove

October 16, 2024/in Work & Exhibitions /by Ann

Amulets 4 Introverts II take on a new life in an imagined time where they have been found by future archeologists and still hold their powers. Stolen and vitrined, they are on display next to a first-day-of-employment company training video that struggles to train Stable Diffusion on the latin roots of words related to female power and the visual-actual reality of ovaries.

This project deals with social Fears, and my attempt to fix Stable Diffusion by making an AI training video for LLMs that can understand female body parts. This has been exhibited at The Newark Museum Of Art and From Alchemy to Numinosity, Kresge and Pascal Galleries, Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts, Ramapo College of New Jersey

FOOD STORE(Y)

June 2, 2020/in Work & Exhibitions /by Ann

he purpose of Food Store(y) is to bolster civil society via camaraderie and communication. Imagine a free app like Tinder-for-bartering with a focus on exchanging food for stories and vice -versa. We want participants to get closer to neighbors instead of feeling more isolated- and all by facilitating the exchange of stories (personal, journalistic, historical) for food.

Cross-Modal Perception Series

June 5, 2019/in Consulting and Workshops, Work & Exhibitions /by Ann

Recently I found out that the way I experience time is a form of synesthesia. Previously I always assumed this cross-modal perception only happened to the rare few who could see music or hear colors. Now I am happy to be collaborating with two synesthetes: Geri Hahn who sees music and other sounds very vividly, and Dr. Svetlana Rudenko, a neuroscientist, also a synesthete, and composer. I have created this animation “Synaesthesia edit01” to describe the motions and colors that Geri sees when she listens to Dr. Rudenko’s Dancing Textures composition. Read more

The Greening 209

September 29, 2017/in Work & Exhibitions /by Ann

The Greening: 209 evokes different moments in time: present, future, and past. In the U.S. a house or other building may last a generation or more. The systems we design to guide us as a society outlive us all, though they are not permanent either. How do we know if the structures we put in place are working? How long does the long view need to be if we are going to plan accordingly? It’s time to remodel.
