An interactive window display that makes you question what is real and what is fake. Using a widely recognized cultural symbol for lying, my team of four created a marionette similar to Pinocchio as a news anchor with animated eyes, moving arms and head, and a growing nose. Fabricated from PVC pipes, CNC milled wood, canvas, string, foam board, foam core, velcro, and lots of paint. The eyes were animated using a Raspberry Pi and two small lcd’s. To motorize the arms, we programmed an Arduino that also programmed the led lights on the logo, and a lazy susan motor for head movement, and finally a stepper motor for the nose.

A musical installation that demonstrates how derivative songs can be.
Users are encouraged to put on the headphones, press play, and cycle through sets of songs in pairs, sliding the fader back and forth to hear how similar two different clips of songs are. Made using an old iphone running p5.js, connected serially to a Macbook Pro. The sliding potentiometer (fader) is plugged into an Arduino Uno. Fabricated from lasercut wood fit into a cigar box with a piece of leather to allow easy access underneath the panel.

Undercover is a 5 minute, autobiographical performance that weaves vignettes of memories, music, and pop culture imagery into a narrative that explores misogyny, gender, and identity from a unique perspective.

Reviews
“You know how every once in a while something will happen to you or you'll see or read a thing that makes you feel the emotion in your body? Undercover impacted me on that kind of body-level.” - Allison B.
“Elegant setup, well executed, and an all around affecting experience. I was so impressed by the quality of the storytelling - which felt radically honest and specific, but also welcoming…” - Sarah R.
“The fact that this was a two sided show, that every iteration was fresh for the participant and for you, was incredibly innovative, and so true to what I believe to be one of the most powerful aspects of performance art, that the artist can become a mirror through which the participant sees something true about themselves.” - August L.
Undercover is meant to be viewed in person. The subtext of this project is to experience what it is like to be watched in an intimate moment without knowing, without consent. The reveal at the end leads you to believe that I have been watching you the whole time, during what you thought to be a private moment. This experience mirrors the feeling of transitioning in the world. Not only is the viewer forced to watch their own image reflected back at them in a jarring way, but they are also startled by the surprise that I have seemingly been observing them all along.
