Originally posted in a series of static blog posts (here, here, and here), this site revamps the presentation of the advice and makes it possible to share indiviual bits of advice, allows visitors to "favorite" advice with a starring mechanism, and allows them to sort advice by length to find the pithiest and most poignant pieces. I grew up around these pieces of advice. They were not all said explicity, but they were always in the air. I have used them more than once to at least reflect on decision points in my life, or at most in-the-moment use them to dictate a decision. I made this site both for myself –to get aquainted with the advice, and develop a sort of shrine around it– and for others to discover for themselves and find something that speaks to them.

The "Centaur" series is named after a new genre of chess pioneered by chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov. After losing a match of chess to an AI in 1997 (IBM's DeepBlue), Kasparov set out to beat the new mechanical chess champion by teaming up with a computer of his own. By teaming up with a machine and forming a cyborg or "centaur" unit, Kasparov was successful in defeating IBM's chess AI a few years later. Today, still, the best chess player is a computer/human team, and the most elite genre of chess is centaur chess. This is a well cited narrative of a man-machine relationship. I see this relationship holding more and more relevance to photography and image making. Namely, with the advent of “post-lenticular” photography, nearly all images are generated (and at least interpreted) without a lens, meaning they derive from the automated and mechanical process of a computer. Moreover, with post-lenticular photography the capacity to generate large amounts of images has shot up, resulting in an incomprensible volume of images, constantly being manufactured. Sean Cubbit's writings about the Mass Image, as well as Hito Steyerl's In Defense of the Poor Image essay, heavily inform this series as guiding lights in investigating what exactly a digital image is at the huge scale they exist today. Both of theses essays point to the reality that we are drenched in a sea of images everyday: almost 500 million images are uploaded to social media platforms every day! To approach this startling concept of a massive sea of images, I decided to embark on this Centaur series where I "team up" photogrammetry and Virtual Reality sculpting techniques to produce unique assemblages. First, I scan objects in the real world close to me, second, I bring that scan into virtual reality and paint over, in, and on top of it. Third, and last, as a final exhibition, I re-export the painting and the scan and pose them as a tableau into one new digital image that pairs two distinct generative processes together. This pairing of a highly automated and mechanized process (photogrammetry) and highly manual and circumstantial process of sculpting produces work that nests the tensions of the post-lenticular mass image: between mass and bespoke, between automation and augmentation, between whole and fragmented. These tensions, I believe, can only be outlined by engaging with both of the processes that push and pull them from opposite ends. “Centaurs” is simply a byproduct of the investigative process.

Boardman, OR.”, “Amazon Data Center. Boardman, OR.”, “Facebook Data Center, Prineville, OR.”, “Apple Data Center. Prineville, OR.” This photo series documents seven data centers dotted across the Pacific Northwest operated by Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. It highlights the usurping of the camera by data centers: in each of these photographs the data centers graphically take the camera’s traditional place at the top of a tripod. As a series these photographs investigate the shifting landscape of images that is moving away from analog photography, and is moving towards a precedence of “network images” in image-making.

Keyscape is a data sculpture that solidfies the usage of my keyboard from December 2020 to January 2021. Using a Python script I recorded about a half of a million individual keystrokes, which I compiled and mapped linearly on a 3D keyboard model, which I then 3D printed into custom keycaps whose z-heights correspond directly to how many times I pressed the key. This project was an exercise in reclaiming my “data exhaust”, and framing it as an additive process rather than one where the usage of keys literally erodes the plastic of the keycap.&nbsp; Read more︎︎︎ Video of the behind the scenes:
