current generator.v1 is an interactive video installation made in response to the acceleration of machine learning, the enormous amount of digital images generated daily, and the role of the human collaborator in the midst of this hyper production. The installation utilizes a monitor lying flat on a pedestal underneath a suspended endoscope to perform video feedback. The viewer is invited to infiltrate the video signal by moving their hands under the camera to generate additional feedback currents across the screen. The video feedback and interactivity is further mediated by TouchDesigner through mixing a selection of pre-recorded video clips of different water bodies (oceans, waterfalls, floods) combined with the live feed to generate time-displacement effects.
This work is currently on view in the Lee Gallery at Clemson University through Dec 6th, 2024. Throughout the exhibit, I will be exporting still frames from the installation to be used to make a print portfolio. In total, I view this installation, and iterative process as a generative machine.
