I'm a software developer and artist. My work uses simulation and physical installations to explore how physical systems interacts with our intuitions of them.

Living Earth Machine

Living Earth Machine is an art installation that explores the dynamic nature of Earth as a living, evolving entity through accelerated geological processes. The installation presents a simulated terrain and ecosystem that unfolds in real time, allowing visitors to witness the ceaseless transformation of our planet, and brings to life the concept of deep time. Users interact with the terrain through physical knobs to explore the various future possibilities generated by the project's particle based erosion simulator.

Every frame, tens of thousands of droplets are simulated to realisitcally erode and transform one landscape into another.
