Sideways Elevation Contours
A site-specific design for the Two Sigma London office, which visualizes the elevation contours of the neighborhood as though they were visible through the wall upon which the graphic is mounted. (The variation in terrain is, of course, exaggerated.)
The Center of Europe
There is no single way to compute the geographic center of a region. And there are many geographic centers of Europe because of this.[1]
Study: Timestamps
Date stamp compositions for five days in July.
Solar Time
Human operational abstractions, which are derived from the position of the sun — longitude, clock time — enable the measurement of time. Can the sun itself mark the passage of time as a visible duration, ambivalent to these abstractions?
Perspective from Work on Paper
Dominant forms of geographic representation make public space legible: the patterns of commuters through transit systems; the networks of roads between towns; the footprints of buildings in a city grid. Interior spaces seem comparatively un -mapped, even insulated from the forces that operationalize the world visible by satellite or Google Street View.
Study: Wave Intervals
A series of fixed-interval, sonic transcriptions of waves breaking against the shore of La Sagesse Bay, Grenada.
Study: A/C Soundscapes
Audio visualizations of a humming air conditioning unit. Summer mundanity in a series of three prints.
Side-view States
Side-view States is an atlas visualizing the 50 U.S. state boundaries from the side. Each boundary is programmatically lifted from the physical terrain, then tilted to collapse its area, leaving a trace of its topographic contingencies.
Mapping the Alaska Boundary
A map is a symbolic representation of a physical territory. While a cartographic map holds an iconographic relationship to the territory it represents, a purely linguistic map does not. This piece examines the linguistic representation of a territory at the orthogonal extremes of accuracy and illegibility.
