A meditation on the magic of the mundane, “please wait for the host to let you in…” is a celebration of the gentle joys of rituals alone and together. Disruptions or glitches are integrated into the experience as are presentation of the small adjustments, disturbances, or excitements of life. Monotonous yet surprising, waiting is the way life unfolds.
#nofilter

#nofilter is based on two main ideas about how media technology affects contemporary society and aesthetics. First, the notion that boundaries between public and private, between work and leisure, and between reality and illusion have been blurred. Second, the transitory nature of massively produced media that are meant to be seen but not kept. Both ideas are closely related to the impacts of social media’s widespread use and the new ways in which people connect to each other and to ideas.

“Our goal is to translate kinetic energy into sound with hand gesture tracking system. In the wake of COVID-19 and the resulting quarantine, many people around the world were forced to adapt their lives and operate in isolation. The trampoline is an item that allows for rigorous movement in a confined space and serves as a metaphor for remaining disciplined in a world now where risk is ever more apparent. “

We are trying to touch on the current experience of digital communication. Presenting to empty screens, teaching to black boxes or letters… where previous human bodies existed, the user is the only live camera in a field of empty void. The spaces on screen reflect an individual with feelings, emotions, interests, and habits, and returning their humanity through objects.
