SELECTED PROJECTS
1. Remixof grammatologie
Medium: Personal
Project
2024This project reimagined Jacques Derrida’s 1967 de la Minuit editions book cover of De la Grammatologie with deconstructed ellipses to signify the phillosopher’s contribution to the field of critical theory of the idea of linguistic deconstruction. The modulated shapes are meant to convey this idea by deconstructing their intended shape (signifié) into a modulated ellipse.
2. Title: Simulacre and sentience: a conversation with ChaGPT
Medium: digital collage with AI elements
2024 Simulacre and sentience was a project that utilized collaged elements from the creative commons in the California Revealed’s collection and a conversation with chat GPT about Jean baudrillard’s ideas from Simulacra and Simulation.
A partial transcript of the conversation with Chat GPT is as follows:
DFB: Could you please paint me a picture of the computer simulation hypothesis
ChatGPT: The **computer simulation hypothesis** suggests that our reality is not the "base" reality but instead a sophisticated simulation, likely run by an advanced civilization. Imagine a hyper-realistic virtual world where every atom, every force of nature, and even our consciousness are just lines of code running on an incomprehensibly powerful computational system.
Now, let's paint a picture:
---
You stand in a vast digital landscape, where the sky flickers slightly at the edges, like pixels struggling to load. The horizon bends subtly, its boundaries uncertain. Above, vast data streams flow like rivers of light, feeding the simulation with rules of physics, causality, and time.
In the distance, immense structures rise—architectures of pure logic and code, shimmering as though they are being rendered in real time. A sudden glitch: a bird in mid-flight freezes for a fraction of a second before resuming its path, as if reality had momentarily lagged.
Looking closer at your hand, you see not flesh, but an intricate web of data—binary threads woven together to create the illusion of physical form. You realize that even your thoughts might not be your own, but rather pre-written routines, responses determined by a complex AI.
Somewhere, beyond this simulated universe, a programmer watches, tweaking parameters, running experiments, and perhaps even adjusting your destiny with the press of a key.
Medium: Client Project Art Director: Jean Wiley Web Development: Self
2020-presentThis on-going site was built for the artist, and my auntie, Jean Wiley to showcase her portfolio of paintings from the past couple of decades. Jean began painting after a successful entrepreneurial career founding and leading the Graphic Design firm, Wiley Design and Communications based in Sacramento, Ca. Wiley Design and Communications largely inspired my own twin journey into graphic communications.
