- ✧₊⁺ Featured Project
- Allure (2023)
- Allure refers to a relation between objects described by philosopher Graham Harman, where "beauty is part of a larger class of phenomena [called] “allure[,]” and “is the separation of an object from its qualities.” In Allure, the focus is on brain wave data as a material or object, and how its interaction with other objects, like light, color, and form, show a previously unknowable aspect of that data. In Allure, the data animates the patterns of the projected composition as well as the lights' luminosity.
- My deepest thanks to The Hexagram Network for providing this residency opportunity, Lynn Hughes, who supervised this project, and my thesis supervisor, Eldad Tsabary, for his critical input.
