Sculpture, Installations & Wearables > Try Me

The evocative but ambiguous message "try me" is communicated via eight methods across 11 screens. These range from digital/mechanical (morse code, semaphore, optical scan codes) to analog (text, speech, sign language, and nonverbal cues). The largest screen runs a loop of my mouth speaking the phrase, with each frame passed to an early version of Stable Diffusion to generate matching visual compositions made up of hedonic and destructive temptations. The animation never repeats the same way twice, randomly choosing the frames and animation speed every time it loops.
