Hi HN,I made The Stack, a sculpture built from clay tablets, metal and electronics.The piece reflects on layers of knowledge in digital art: raw materials, craft, circuits, code, and algorithms. On top of the sculpture sits an ESP32 that broadcasts a new Wi-Fi network name every 15 seconds. On nearby phones and laptops, these names appear in the available network list and form a fragmented...
Carbon Technostructure traces the material weight of immaterial systems. A modified plotter, glass panel, and steamer work in concert to render visible what typically remains unseen: the environmental cost of computational processes.Steam condenses on glass, creating an ephemeral drawing surface. An empty marker moves across this temporary canvas, inscribing patterns derived from real-time...

Hi HN,I worked with Françoise Lombaers, a mosaic artisan who's spent twenty years restoring heritage pieces, to explore what happens when algorithms meet traditional craft constraints. We've been asking what happens when you try to implement algorithms with the constraints of traditional mosaic: square tiles only, never cut. It's not about making mosaics look "digital", it's about exploring how...

Hi HN! I built a small experiment in digital solitude: a website that intentionally fails when more than one person tries to visit it.The concept is simple - if you're alone, you see the site. If someone else arrives, it breaks for everyone until only one person remains.An experiment in anti-scalability: genuine digital scarcity without tokens, chains, or ownership records. The server's...
We built a robotic plotter that creates ephemeral visualizations of website carbon footprints using water vapor on glass. It analyzes website energy data and translates it into misty patterns, making the invisible impact of digital infrastructure visible.Built during a residency at a cultural venue in Belgium. Code and build details here :...
This grant allowed me to explore vertical UV printing, its advantages and drawbacks. It also served as a testing ground to see if vertical printing was a valid candidate to replace vinyl lettering in terms of sustainability and efficiency in exhibition design.
You can find a short post here about the drawbacks and avantages of the technology here.
