Across this series, custom software translates sound into oscillating forms that animate geological landscapes like Pictured Rocks, Watkins Glen, & Lake George, revealing that permanence is flux and that rock, life, humans, and now Al are entangled strata of one ongoing story. Just as the discovery of deep time stretched Earth's age from six thousand years to billions, these works use the geological timescale to cultivate long-term thinking.

Gutter Cantus grows a song from string fragments and fractured rhythms. Sounds gather, drift apart, and return from another direction.

My first album released with an interactive breakdown of the album, link in bio.
Wild Grafting brings string-led phrasing into contact with fractured breakcore timing. Across six pieces, each material changes the behavior of the other: sustained lines acquire splintered attacks, while percussion inherits contour, hesitation, and breath.
Speed often lives inside quiet passages. Motifs branch into competing voices; heavy gestures become brief and exposed; lyrical returns carry traces of broken timing. The spaces between tracks take different forms too, carrying momentum, allowing a pause, or making a sudden break.
What interests me is what survives these encounters. A phrase returns with its contour intact but its intervals altered. An ending remembers an earlier gesture while leaving part of it unfinished. Each return carries something forward—and something it cannot entirely recover.
Headphone listening recommended. Wild Grafting was composed in third-order Ambisonics and rendered to binaural stereo. Spatial placement and movement are part of the music, shaping how its fragments meet, separate, and return.

COIL TOX + TOP on Philosophical Tools
Coil is a beam-based raster instrument for TouchDesigner. It samples an image along a simulated scan path and deposits light where the beam lands. The movement of the scan becomes part of the image.
Drive the horizontal, vertical, and S-curve coils with built-in waveforms or your own CHOP signals. Collapse the raster into a line, bend it through orbit and lens fields, and shape the color, glow, and phosphor afterglow. The optional R-L filter gives the coils a sense of electrical inertia, softening abrupt changes into fluid motion.
Coil can also draw its own raster with no video input. The included Coil component adds presets, page resets, and transitions between looks. Coil Nodes offers an editable study of the core effect using @touchdesigner’s built-in operators, and the example project gives you a place to start.

What a surprise and an honor! RetCanon Collective (@devanshimoyama, @terry__boyd, and I) are top 5 finalists for @artprize! The people have voted and they want more anti-colonial space roleplay! If you’re around Grand Rapids, the exhibition at @resonantgallery (Western Michigan University Grand Rapids campus) has a closing reception on Friday from 5-7pm! Come join me and my fam as we say goodbye to RetCanon Collective’s first exhibition of “The Future of the Hive” - an actual play / game performance, costumes, video media design, and newly designed book! Major thanks to @ericsouther for supporting this installation version and inviting us to finally exhibit this performance for video we made over a year ago. Thanks to @joshuakosker for platform design!!
Presented by RetCanon Collective (Devan Shimoyama, Angela Washko, and Terry Boyd), The Future of the Hive is a live theatrical performance and tabletop roleplaying game that takes place in an alternative galaxy where a colonizing force is beginning to expand its reaches. Seven player-performers take on the roles of members of unusual species and improvisationally play and perform - exploring space ecologies, multi-species commons, intersectional solidarity and collaboration, conflicting stakes on land, and collaborative worldbuilding through the
wild facade of a space travel adventure game.

Search Engine Vision "State of the Nation" is on view at KCAD Flex Gallery @kcadoffsu from Sept. 12–Oct 24th. Official @artprize entry (23 min)
Search Engine Vision: State of the Nation examines how online communities collectively define the United States in 2026. Drawing on the semiotic concerns running throughout the Search Engine Vision series, the work treats language as transient meaning formed organically, in the moment, by the masses.
The first 1,000 videos returned by an online search for each of the 50 states are compiled into grids and remapped onto the geographic form of each state. One thousand videos was hand selected out of the 50k. The database is apolitical in its collection, however the politics of each state will indubitably show through. Two hundred and fifty years into its conception, what is the state of this nation? Can it be defined by the masses?

Reskinned Opens at Resonant Gallery for @artprize on view Sept. 18th through Oct. 3rd.
To reskin something is to transform its exterior to treat the surface as malleable, customizable, something that can be swapped out, layered over, or rebuilt entirely. This exhibition takes that idea as a starting point for a broader body of work, one that treats the surface itself as a place where transformation happens.
The capacity to be re-formed extends across this exhibition to animals and machines, to discarded objects, to wetlands and weather, to signals and the infrastructures that carry them. Raw or salvaged material is repurposed to serve a new function, rebuilt into something that moves, speaks, or responds. Bodies perform for an audience or a camera, adjusting how they look and move depending on who's watching. Some works don't move forward so much as circle back a loop, a tide, a routine repeated until the repetition itself becomes the point. Each work pushes and pulls its original form — things persist by being remade.

“Speculative Nows” is the first of many collaborative explorations by Kelley O’Brien (USA) and Karolina Pawelcyzk (PL). This film series explores hypothetical pasts and futures, providing both Polish and American perspectives on systems of power, society and our environments.
