Arcgen – A a rule-based visual instrument inspired by Bauhaus foundation studies. The images aren’t designed directly — they emerge from constraints, repetition, and small parameter shifts. An idea inspired by one of Fritz Schleifer‘s color studies, that quickly succumbed to a serious case of feature-creep. Initially an attempt to find out what the mathmatical […]
In Plato’s theory of epistemology, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις, meaning “memory”) refers to the recollection of innate knowledge acquired before birth. The concept posits the claim that learning involves the act of rediscovering knowledge from within oneself. The theory of anamnesis suggests that the soul is immortal, and repeatedly incarnated; knowledge is in the […]
Semiotic Standard For All Commercial Trans-Stellar Utility Lifter And Heavy Element Transport Spacecraft I got bored one night, and was trying to spend some time getting used to using Affinity Designer so that I could rid myself of all things Adobe, once and for all…. needing a project, I decided to vectorize Ron Cobb‘s Weylan-Yutani […]

A color to frequency converter that gives you the harmonics and sub-harmonics of a color. Now, I realize there’s a lot arbitraryness to it. This isn’t “the true sound of color.” I’m not really sure if that’s definitively possible… It’s a playful mapping: hue -> wavelength -> light frequency -> scaled down into a musical […]
O blessed box of Swedish birth,You give my wax its truest worth.No bowing spines, no leaning stacks—Just perfect rows of sonic snacks. Four by four, you stand so square,Yet hold such chaos deep in there:Detroit thumps and Belgian haze,Half the Warp back-catalogue phase. Your modest frame knows none of pride,Yet hosts Aphex on every side.Autechre […]
A collection of flyers and photos from way back when some friends and I ran an ambient music collective. We’d throw ambient events in disused movie theaters, friends lofts, a place known as “the underwear farm” and others, always with a focus on listening rather than dancing, though a lot of that happened as well. […]
A small collection of photos from trips up north and abroad
Pictures taken while wandering around the docks of Prince Rupert back in 2010. The warfs were full of derelict fishing boats, testimony to what was once a vibrant fishing town.
Here are some random posters I decided late one night in June 2008 to make while thinking of things like the Granville St bar strip hell, crass consumerism, old bands I liked, the upcoming Olympics and the idea of cranking out designs while under short deadlines. It wasn’t really a moment where I felt optimistic […]
In 2012, I worked with multi-media artist Leena Minifie to produce this 8 channel video touchscreen installation. Built with html5 and javascript, 8 videos “slices” are displayed in a circle surrounded by a north-west coast native formline design by Tsimshian artist Morgan Green. Video artists were asked to create a short video that represented home […]
