THE UNFUNDED

Jun 17

Projects, Grants and Residencies that I did not get.

A growing list of deceptions 🤷‍♂️

 I will not design a lamp system with AI generated textures

 I will not build an VR experience about COVID data literacy and misinformation

 I will not set up screens around town to display digital art

```
 I will not 3D scan dragons
```

 I will not confront yourself with the ephemerality of contemporary visual media.

 I will not distill the Lowest Common [visual] Denominator of beasts and fire figures.

 I will not try to visualise the search space of the LHC

 I will not explore the creation of visual poems in AR for an exhibition space

 I will not build a microbe-friendly spaces in the city

I will not use augmented viewfinders to showcase how stupid mass-tourism is

I will not use live-coding to explore the generation and manipulation of moiré patters in the 3D space.

I will not explore the territory that is intentionally underserved by ISP's and create hyper-localised large scale AR sculptures

I will not produce thousands of cut-out magnets extracted from common AI datasets

I will not build a camera capable of photographing misleading alternate versions of reality

I will not make a calm mesmerising contemplative interactive piece about scales, domains, hosts, guests, symbiosis and parasitism

... but, I will never stop learning and doing what I like.

TXTR·LAB / AI generated textures for a unique customizable lighting product / An automated inhouse pattern designer: endless, updatable, trend-teachable.

HELLOPALEO / About the ephemerality of contemporary visual media. / An installation to mirror reality as cave paintings.

more·moire / live coding + sculptural projection

AAD / Bringing digital art creations to the daily urban environment: markets, bus stops, libraries…

An open hardware display that features local digital artists.

RIDE19 / A tangible experience of COVID data literacy and misinformation

A rideable 1:1 scale rollercoaster that follows the path of the covid cases to date.
Built as an interactive digital artwork in a 3D environment.

BÈST#IA / “Visions hipotètiques del bestiari festiu popular.”

Distilling the Lowest Common [visual] Denominator of beasts and fire figures used in popular culture festivities in BCN.

TANGIBLE SEARCH / Making tangible the beauty and vastness of the Large Hadron Collider search-space

FOCd’APROP / capturing 3D data and releasing it as digital public commons for its use as assets for the creative industries.

RAU / Exploring private public spaces.
Creating volumetric visual poems around the city to be experienced as augmented photography tours.

micro-illa / A prototype to invite microbiota back into urban design by building artefacts for the citizens to interact and get to know the fellow non-human inhabitants of our built environment.

[00] / An interactive artefact shaped as a classic viewfinders that showcases the best side of sustainable tourism in the worst pain-points of the “sun and sea” experience journey.

more-moiré / A volumetric installation of live-generated patterns projected to a structure to create moiré effects.
Using live-coding to explore the generation and manipulation of moiré patters in the 3D space. (real or virtual).

Synthetic Vocabulary / An interactive installation made with extracted imagery from common AI datasets. A huge collection of cut-out magnets placed in a metallic wall for visitors to rearrange con construct meaning. A staging of the simplification and homogenisation of visual culture spit by algorithms.

DeepCam / A physical Photo Camera hyper-powered with AI vision and generative algorithms capable of photographing misleading alternate versions of reality. The project is a commentary on Computational Photography, Synthetic Media and Media Forensics, and how much AI intervention and manipulation is currently happening without the user's knowledge in the process of taking a photo.
