1055113200 | 2023 with Nikki Stevens
1055113200 is a Unix timestamp. Unix timestamps (popularized on the computing system Unix) are the number of seconds after 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. Our timestamp, 1055113200, represents Sun Jun 08 2003 23:00:00 GMT, the approximate founding of HASTAC. To commemorate HASTAC’s 20th anniversary, two DHSE researchers created a data infusion to celebrate all…

Best Laid Plans: A Repair Sampler | 2021
Best Laid Plans: A repair sampler was made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each panel starts with a computer-drafted design for a mylar panel, and a knitting patern for a small knit inset. The knitting and mylar elements are designed carefully on paper to integrate with each-other. However, the tension between the two materials creates torque,…

Information Density | 2018
Information Density and Strong Correlations draw upon my experience as a competitive weightlifter and coach. It presents weightlifting movements, equipment, and competition results through felt sculpture, data visualization, performative drawing, and digital fabrication. While maintaining fuzzy borders between information, mark-making, visualization and metaphor, this project addresses the sport of weightlifting as a practice in which…

Flying Machines | 2018
Flying Machines is an iterative computer program made in Processing that generates endless variations on a wing form within a given set of parameters. The original structure of the wing is drawn from a Leonardo da Vinci flying machine sketch. By varying its proportions, curves, oscillations and structural density, the program can generate a range of forms from…

Manipulations: Torque, Coil, Drop, Stretch | 2021
This body of work is made of machine-cut mylar, machine-knit cotton and hand-felted wool. The sculptures are assemblages of materials from disparate sources (petroleum, plant, animal) that feature fugitive transitions, built-on-the-fly components and imperfect joints that hold together without clear logic, evoking the layered, inelegant and disorderly nature of the technical systems we so often…

Strong Correlations | 2016
The project Strong Correlations embraces the context that allows me to be an academic and jock, fiber artist and computer geek. It is also a challenge to the lingering assumptions and power dynamics that complicate my experience as woman, artist and athlete. This collection of felt and fabric sculptures, chalk drawings and data visualizations uses…

Finding Poetry | 2012
The prints in Finding Poetry are intensely mediated representations of poems by astrophysicist Rebecca Elson. Using the process described below, I search for each poem one word at a time on the Internet, and data about this search generates the intricate patterns that appear to smear across the surface as they draw out information about…

.txt | 2010
.txt is a data visualization of one month of text messages written in the programming language Processing. Each panel represents one day, each flower represents one word, and each petal represents one letter. They are arranged around a circle in a 24-hour clock. The project renders text messages as little boquets sent back and forth…
