2025
Four videos capture the same moment in time: December 1, 2025 14:20-14:25 UTC. The videos run for their entire 5-minute duration before the page automatically refreshes and repopulates with another four recordings. Participants filming each video provided a description of their position listed alongside each video. Locations span North America, Europe, and Asia. The simple, slow mundanity of one particular place (rarely seen on our devices) is juxtaposed against that of another—in infinite permutations.
Trimming snow peas by hand
single channel video projection
2025
A person trims a bowl of snow peas. This process takes a total of 20 minutes, during which four numbers onscreen count upwards at varying speeds. Supplementary text written on a piece of paper accompanying the video provides descriptions of each number:
1. Number of posts made on Instagram, on average
2. Number of images produced using generative software, on average
3. USD equivalent earned by a courier in Shanghai
4. Units processed by a picker at Amazon Fulfillment and Sort Centers, on average
This work highlights the discrepancies between production and consumption cycles of media. Content is churned at exponential rates, yet our hands and feet and bodies can only move so fast. The numbers are designed to look like file metadata, implying that these material imbalances are inherent to our use of immaterial mediums.

Greetings From
36 4 × 6 in. postcards
2021
Families separated, friends disconnected, and strangers isolated, “Greetings From” is a performed documentation of a moment in history. 36 travel postcards depict imaginary worlds that we will never travel to; never explore; and never see, feel, or touch. Each contains a description which sometimes makes sense and at other times loses meaning altogether. These images are generated using a StyleGAN model trained on a personal dataset of landscape and architecture images, and the descriptions are created using an attention-based model that generates captions based on each image. These surreal places are our new travel destinations, reflecting the evolving constraints of our physical being. As an act of adaptation, these postcards are used to document current thoughts and feelings and then mailed to physically distant friends, family, and acquaintances.
(662) MOS ARCH
interactive event; exhibition design
2022
Concept, design, and orchestration of a hybrid exhibition for MOS Architects held at Princeton School of Architecture, produced in collaboration with Michael Meredith and Alex Lin. Much like the MOS office, this exhibition communicates with you via text message. Upon "entering" in-person or remotely, visitors can text an automated SMS system using the exhibition title number to read curatorial statements, object descriptions, and maps to navigate through the space. To navigate, the system provides a map with location markers that visitors can text to move, almost like a video game, and then receive an updated “You are here” map, with accompanying photographs of the exhibition room from that physical position. Art direction by Studio Lin. Photography by Michael Vahrenwald.
Hindsight is Twenty20
Hindsight is Twenty20 is a choose-your-own-adventure book by Slow and Steady Wins the Race, a conceptual clothing and accessory line that reinterprets the classical everyday wardrobe. The story delightfully illustrates our post-pandemic reality and engages us to play. Designed at Studio Lin, Art Direction: Studio Lin.
Processing Patterns
Processing Patterns explores the potential of algorithms and computational speed to create graphic marks. Each pattern is generated using a Processing sketch that draws instances of trigonometric equations, with certain values selected at random.
