Mineral Accretion
I have been experimenting with a mineral accretion method. This is a process of putting a very low and safe to touch electrical current through steel and other conductive material underwater which causes the dissolved minerals to crystallize forming a limestone surface which has the same strength of standard concrete. I have been interested in this process because of the potential for being a renewable building material if paired with tidal or solar power. Interestingly, if corals or other shell based organisms are attached to the steel structure with the added current they grow stronger and faster than if they do without the electrical current. I do not have any pictures off hand and this is very new project for me, but imagine hand woven wire sheets placed in aquariums accreting the dissolved minerals found in Kitchener tap water.

I have linked diversity in the natural world to diversity in the art world by creating a project on New York based crane fly populations. Starting with 6 portraits of crane fly larva (magnified) in the style of various NY painters, I then named and described the species by the artist upon which they are based. I created a population distribution map of each “species” and will provide a short written description of each including physical characteristics (style), distribution (trends), and impact on environment.

The last decades have seen an increased momentum and buzz around the idea of a connected world. The evolution of technologies such as the Internet of Things, in which objects are embedded with electronic systems in a sophisticated network that enables the collection and exchange of data, is disrupting the way we live.
Greiner, as a leading global manufacturer of plastic products for a wide range of industries, explores the application of those new technologies. This exhibition presents a sample of 5 different mockups: products manufactured by Greiner which, in combination with electronic components, have the potential to sense and act according to inputs gathered from their environment. These new features allow communication between products, systems and devices, providing an enhanced user experience that goes beyond the materiality of the product itself.

50 years after the Apollo 11 lunar landing, we are seeing another strong push for space exploration: from new and renewed space programs in developed and developing countries to innovative technologies and commercial services from private industry. Along the way, cultural production for outer space becomes crucial for humanity as we expand beyond the earthbound. In the past, the desire for exploration and expansion had a profound impact on how we imagined planetary futures. What shall we imagine now? In this exhibition, six projects from the Space Exploration Initiative of MIT Media Lab are asking the same question and bringing possibilities to the (im)possible space: All the projects were successfully deployed and performed in a zero-gravity parabolic flight last year. They are hopes beyond solutions, imaginations, more than facts. Our effort addresses outer space as a critical territory that must be inhabited—imaginatively, artistically, scientifically and collaboratively.

Space/Craft explores sculpture in zero gravity. Making artistic works by hand is a fundamentally human act, but how will it transform when we begin to explore new planets? What non-existent forms of artistic expression does different gravity enable? Digital modeling tools allow us to break the laws of physics as we create, but we can’t replicate those processes on Earth. Space/Craft will explore the artistic processes and possibilities enabled by zero gravity by using a hot glue dispenser to “draw in 3D.” During each cycle of micro-gravity, the artist uses the mark-making tool to sculpt shapes inside of a containment cube. The thin strings of glue float into forms that could not be created on earth by the same process.

Yellow Warbler
Order Passeriformes
Family Parulidae (wood warblers or New World warblers)
Setophaga petechia (previously Dendroica petechia)
(subspecies brewsteri breeds along coastal California)
Yellow Warblers (S. p. brewsteri) migrate in early spring flying during the day (to a greater extent than other warblers) and at night, and refuel during the day. They arrive on breeding grounds from mid- to late April. Males establish territories before the female arrives. Pair bonding lasts one day, after which the female selects the nest site, constructs the nest, and incubates the eggs for approximately 11 days. The males contribute to feeding the young. The young leave the nest in 9-12 days.
S. p. brewsteri migrates south from September to as late as October.
Breeding Habitat:
The breeding range of S. p. brewsteri includes coastal California, Oregon, and Washington. Habitats include wetlands such as wet thickets, shrubs, swamps – especially favoring wetlands dominated by Willow Trees (Salix).
Nests consist of a small cup in the fork of a tree or bush. Fine grasses, fine stems and bark are used for construction of the nest. Feathers, wool, and plant fibers (including Salix) line the inside of the nest. Nest height varies from 2-12 feet.
Egg:
Eggs are grayish to greenish white with dark brownish blotches. Egg size is 17x12 mm.
Food and Feeding:
Insects, spiders, larvae.
Yellow Warblers forage for insects, insect larvae, and spiders at low to middle tree levels by gleaning, and occasionally by hovering and fly-catching.

In a painting entitled Kiwa Rave, artist Lily Simonson humanizes the second species of yeti crab, Kiwa puravida, discovered by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego former student Andrew Thurber. Though very similar to the first species, Kiwa hirsute, these crabs are smaller, and appear to be constantly dancing. “In his dissertation, Andrew suggests that they have bacteria living in their setae that convert the chemical gases seeping from under the ocean floor into energy for the crab – chemosythesis,” said Lily. “The crabs may be stirring up the gas with their dance, attempting to circulate it toward the bacteria that live on their furry pincers.”
“Puravida is a Costa Rican expression literally meaning "pure life" but figuratively it means lover of life, or full of life--so Kiwa puravida, the name chosen by Andrew, captures their lively, festive dancing behavior.”
According to Lily, painting is not a static medium. The task of capturing movement in a painting is an exciting challenge, she said. “In my paintings of Kiwa puravida, I try to reflect this dancing behavior by evoking celebratory atmosphere with the colors, background, and light. Thanks to Lisa Levin, Greg Rouse, Harim Cha and the Scripps Invertebrates Collection, I was able to borrow my own Kiwa puravida specimen. Observing the yeti crab as I painted in the studio transformed my process and enable me to explore the organism in endless detail.”
The portrait is 48 x 36 inches, and will be featured in Lily’s upcoming art exhibit at the CB1 Gallery in Los Angeles, opening June 17, 2012 and ending July 29, 2012.

Receiving cosmic muons (one of the fundamental particles constantly created by the interactions of the cosmic rays at the top of the atmosphere) through a scintillator detector, this postbox subtly emits sound and light as a direct consequence of every particle it detects. It is through this process that the implied aesthetics of the unperceivable are explored, as are the means by which it could be indirectly appreciated in different ways through the bodies and minds of humans.

The rapprochement, as it were, of art and science, the artistic exploration of new applications, is a key factor in the increasingly social dimension of new technologies in order to comprehend how reciprocal human-machine relationships and interactions among individuals and globally networked systems can not only be better understood but, above all, better designed.

*A-MINT* is a metaphor of a sustainable future, where man and machines work together in perfect symbiosis to cross a frontier that man alone could not dare. *A-MINT* is a new kind of adaptive Artificial Music Intelligence, the first one of its kind capable to crack the improvisation code of any musician in real time and able to improvise with him. Creating music and video along the execution, without any preset pattern, pitch or bpm. A new organic and lively form of contemporary electronic music. The futuristic real-time electronic orchestrations, enhanced by the generative videoprojections, rewrite the rules of live electronic music, and plunge the audience into a unique experience, always different because of the impulses and interpretations of the Artificial Music Intelligence A-Mint, a trip in unknown and never explored before territories and boundaries, made of new sounds,technology, images, energy , sweat, heart and soul.

Vienna 3000 was a 3rd year architectural design studio run by Hannes Mayer and Daniela Herold at the Institute of Art and Architecture, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Dissatisfied with the reality of architecture as well as urban planning, the studio was driven by the ambition to explore the radical uncertainty of the far future.
A vertical movement is introduced to the idea of space and city, placing emphasis on the space inbetween, the space where people meet and interact. Dynamics of a future urban reality between order and disorder. Frozen for display.

The tar sand industry is a massive ever-expanding project that lurks in the shadow of the Canadian consciousness. In an attempt to demystify the process of tar sand processing, this time-based sculpture makes use of items from home to attempt and extract oil from homemade tar sand through a steam injection process.

White Water/White Noise
The concept for this work stemmed from the mythical notion that when putting your ear in front of the opening of a sea shell, one can hear the “watery” home from which it came. I found this idea poetic on various levels and the process of amplifying this sound became a catalyst for the idea of this audio sculpture. The experiment is an intermittent relationship of oscillating open/closed-circuit audio waves that feedback when the megaphone passes in front of the sea shell.
