The work was exhibited at The Jack Straw Gallery in Seattle through a solo show in April to June 2022. Remembrance: Magma incorporates machine learning, cutting-edge research on the aging brain, East Asian crafting aesthetics, and Korean shamanic traditions as it examines the nature of the brain as a sensor that desires data even as it slowly fails. Culturally intersectional, Remembrance explores world-building through the poetic and painful processes of memory degeneration.application/pdfen-USnone3D AnimationEast Asian Crafting AestheticsImmersive ArtMachine LearningSurrealismFine artsFilm studiesComputer scienceDigital arts and experimental mediaThesis
