Old VR experience in which I scraped Instagram photos of the RISD museum's main gallery to texture its walls. When wearing the headset, the user can navigate the space and try and line up their perspective with the perspective of the Instagram user who took the photo. The project looked to engage with the communal (and now digital) ways we interact with the museum and the varying perspectives that engagement creates while also highlighting the areas visitors are most drawn to. To complete this project, I LiDAR scanned the room to create the geometry on which to add the photos. I worked in Blender and Unity.

Some screenshots I found of a browser-based poetry work I made last year. An AI would generate a line of poetry using Alison Parrish’s Gutenberg poetry corpus, which was then sent through Google Image API to collect a random image(s) deemed related by their algorithm. Interested in excavating the public—digital—unconscious.

Designed to look like a vintage computer terminal. In an interest in saving computing power, I have terminated the ability to generate any new lines, instead recycling already generated lines.

Find the website here. Click the screen to show a new line and layer another image. Click the line of poetry to send someone email chainmail about it.

Inspired by I Ching’s The Book of Changes, Tan Lin’s ambient poetics, and Instagram screenshot chainmail of the early 2010s. Coded and designed using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

working on a simple python program to slice an STL file so I can lasercut the cross sections and assemble it that way. screenshots from the file I prepared for a lamp I might make once I have access to a laser cutter again. github here:https://github.com/willallstet/lasercut3dPrint
