In this workshop, we explored: What are our values, and how are these reflected in our social media presence? What happens when we create a fine-tuned natural language processing model using such data? Do our values also translate? Can we truly create chatbot versions of ourselves using this method, or are these representations lacking (and, if so, in what ways?) More information here. // 05.26.22 Online

To interact with the Omega Mart Spiral Cuff Health Metrics Machine, participants insert their arm into a flashing ring of LEDs in order to grab use a joystick with an embedded heart rate sensor. Toggling the joystick and button allows them to play and arcade game selecting between ailment images in order to receive information related to their metaphysical health. I also worked on Happles (a project by Oliver Polzin, Zevin Polzin, and Brandon Behning): a set of interactive fruits which make expressive sounds when they are squeezed and the Osmositron (a project by Max Neutra): a device which infuses vegetables and fruits with a strange element called “source.” This pemanent exhibit is open during their normal operating hours. // 02.22
