Been thinking on interesting VJ setups, what do you think you could do with vertical slices. Got inspired by rebeloverlay to see how it would work for VRC...need to get my outside of this warehouse done first tho...

Kinda rare for me to do some IRL stuff but managed to sneak my way onto a projection mapping project around moss and sending signals between two setups. Visuals done with @touchdesigner.bsky.social and audio with PureData.

Starting off with anthropology is such a genius move that aids people in the journey towards understanding optimisation.
We optimise as an outward display of care for someone else's experience. I feel like there should be some studies done on asynchronous avatar representation 🤔

Had this knocking around in my head for about 6 months and finally got around to writing it out and filming it. This is my first time making a video essay and I haven't written VO since college but I'm happy with how it came out. Let me know what you think!

More travel, this time to a conference in Australia! Again to talk about the research possibilities of VR.
This one is going to be a rather long journey but hopefully it goes well.
