Overview
By using facial recognition imagery, digital identifiers, and tracked movements on a map, this video paints an image of a disembodied person through the eyes of data surveillance. The typography and motion graphics are tied together to illustrate the topic with a sense of rigidity and fluidity at the same time.


Translating from Print to Motion
Prior explorations in print became the basis of the video. As I reflected on recent print work, I noticed that the two explorations below touched on similar themes but in contradictory ways — like two ends of an argument. Bringing them together helped push both concepts, creating a fuller picture.


Accordion book using reflective covers + layered transparencies.


Large format posters. Typography made using a mixed analog + digital process.
