Read Shifting Web is a communal reading room and literary art exhibition, featuring books borrowed from the personal libraries of local Asian/American artists and organizers, organized by Jenna Peng and Elina Zhang.

For the opening night of the exhibition, Tre Abalos improvised with text samples over the ambient soundscape that I created based on the samples.

For the live sound collage, I set up a microphone in the room to create an interactive sound space in the reading room.

Prophesies & Soy Sauce Shots is an experimental performance with artists Caroline Yoo and Davine Byon. They move together, rejecting the permanently aspirational future and reflecting on the consequences of ancestral dreamwork. The performance asks, are we dreaming in resistance of or within the confines of colonized standards of success? They move through three vignettes, using projections, sculpture, music, and the exchange of dreams. This new performance in process pieces together a messy, precious home in the diaspora, and asks whose dreams – past, present, and future – we are living for.

** I unfortunately don’t have any documentation of the final physical form of the project! I used an arduino with soil moisture sensor and photoresistor. I will rebuild it soon and post pictures! ** .

Generative music from plants:: Generative Max MSP patch with arduino and node.js. The arduino sends the value from the photoresistor and soil moisture sensor to Max. The light value from the photoresistor is mapped to the gain in the mc.fffb~ object, making the water bubble sound louder as it gets darker. The soil moisture value determines the midi note of the subtractive synthesizer created with the water bubble sound. The temperature sensors did not work well, so I ended up using node.js to retrieve the temperature and humidity data from the web. Humidity determines the cutoff frequency of the water bubble synthesizer (high frequencies are less present when it is more humid). Lastly, the temperature is mapped to the value for mc.sig~.

“the bitch is flying” is about being lost in translation & finding oneself through the help of Korean-American sisterhood. Exploring the haunted memories of past & present, the three sisters purge their own ghosts, creating new space for flying in translation.
