This piece utilizes the video feature in Processing, gathering live feed data and converting it to square pixels. I utilized multiple column pixel sizes in order to communicate the idea of “bodychecking” technologically; Additionally, this piece communicates a sense of changing oneself due to (or with) technology, conveying an altered sense of autonomy regarding physical appearance when using technology to project onself onto a screen. Each movement changes the pixel size per column, resulting in visual randomization in how the face appears.

Through a common motif of an apple, this theme explores the feeling of rotting from the inside out. An apple, starkly contrasting the cartoon nature of the piece, represents major change and shedding one’s skin (both metaphorically and literally). Depicting themes of self harm, dissociation, and apathy, this piece depicts a world where digital environments intermesh with one’s real envrionment to allow escapism to occur internally and externally.

This piece, using a motif of an apple, eplores deeper themes of autonomy and supression of self. Interwoven within lines of code, this piece depicts my feeling of isolation and“otherness,” which coding allows me to escape; Although I can escape these feelings, digital interaction is limited, thus isolating me further in the end.

This Japanese proverb revolves around the idea of uncontained and out of control anger, typically inflicted upon the body. In perspective of the content of this piece, this proverb communicates a general discomfort of the body, shown through imagery of self harm on a figure study accompanied by a journal entry expressing discontentment of personal progress.

Sprite Study features sprite versions of myself with different feelings, namely fear and boredom in this study. On the top, the expression of fear is captured with scattered pupils, while boredom is expressed on the bottom sprite. Both sprites feature a white hat, which mimics a hat that I wear in the wintertime that I sewed by hand, which is an homage to the character ‘Finn’ from the show Adventure Time.
