Design Consciousness is Personal

Throughout my childhood, I was unaware that I was a color-word synesthete. I only came to the realization that hearing words evoked vivid pictures much later in life. I was also captivated by the realm of shadows and consistently engaged in experimentation with it. I was intrigued by the notion that shadows might be both bold and sinister, while yet possessing the capacity to do remarkable feats.

Shadows would consistently broaden my imagination, and I would be motivated by the existence of their outlines and participate in interactions with them. These experiences demanded an experiential yet uncertain style of writing- a form that was spatial, choreographic, and utopian, akin to that of a contemplative voyager.

More recently, I have been able to connect those childhood reveries to the research on Neural Shadow Fields, which acquire object framework from binary shadow masks. This in turn sparked my interest in "neurogeometry," the captivating intersection of geometry and perception. This interdisciplinary focus aims to comprehend the manner in which our minds process and interpret the visual world through geometric structures and motifs. I have transformed this comprehension into an instinctive performative and musical cadence of the senses. This human experimentation is characterized by choreographic immediacy and an alchemical transference of the fluid possibilities of an overwhelming sense of the sublime, which is influenced by art and framed by science. The concept of integrating sound and image with colors and shadows has become profoundly ingrained in my unconscious. I have been exchanging syntax and semantics for the series of patterns and structures that serve as the underpinning of my design methodology.

Defining Perspectival Spaces at Cambridge Creation Lab

MIT researchers have discovered a novel method for constructing intricate three- dimensional structures using self-assembling polymer materials, which generate minuscule wires and junctions. They arrange block copolymer layers into orderly perpendicular rows, thus facilitating the creation of smaller chip components and serving as an alternative to photolithography used in the 1960s for computer chip fabrication. This evokes the image of a net, where intersecting fibers knot at their junctions, creating a flexible grid of square compartments. It evokes the concept of a fish trap, still in use for capturing fish and crustaceans, or the nets crafted by ancient Hawaiians from olona, firebrand, and stone sinkers. I focus on a site-specific wire mesh sculpture that, via its translucency, absorbs light and color, seamlessly integrating into the skyline while merging lyrical sublimity with appealing viewpoints on the present vs. the past. In a distinct setting, Irish author James Joyce ...

Color Perceptions

The classification of color remains a complex area of inquiry that has concerned philosophers, writers, and scientists throughout history. Is it an inherent characteristic of objects, such as dimensions and form? Is it an illusion, purely subjective and derived from visual experiences? The experimental modernist writer Hilda Doolittle, known by her initials H.D., believed it was her responsibility to synthesize disparate elements and explore the significance of color through a provocative, challenging, reductive, expansive, and analytical lens. Thus, she interrogated the entire notion of color in poetry. H.D. was dedicated to the ideal of completeness that centuries of Europeans had invested in Ancient Greece. The poet's desire for the complete subjugation of color and sensations is paradoxical, as the enchantment of color and objects is essential to her. The poet's yearning for a "still" and "unmoving" world stems from the inherent violence of object...

Optical Consciousness is a Reprojection or Realignment of the Mind to Create a Multidimensional Space

(The onset and core values of Cambridge Creation Lab) I spent more than five years completing my project, A Square and a Half-The Colors are Sounding, culminating in its launch at the MIT Museum in the autumn of 2018. The project comprises twenty sung lyrical narratives or songs that combine a variety of genres, as well as a journal that compiles narrative fragments, song lyrics, and images that disclose feelings, emotions, recollections, and associations. Numerous voices convey this information. I have endeavored to filter through a new visual language to convey the starkness of the interior world of human consciousness about scientific thought and information. I have attempted to reconstruct personal memories, experiences, and imagination to synthesize lyrical abstraction from scientific research or ideas. To reveal the layers of open configurations and the underlying references, connotations, parallels of thought, and re...
