A series of large-scale, mixed-media paintings that visualize the layers of digital surveillance in our daily lives.

Key Elements:

• 10 large canvases (approximately 6 feet by 4 feet each)

• Each painting starts with a realistic scene from everyday life (e.g., a man walking his dog, a family sitting down for dinner, colleagues talking in an office)

• Layers of semi-transparent materials are added on top, each representing a different aspect of surveillance:

  • QR codes and digital health passes painted on clear acrylic sheets

  • Data streams and binary code on strips of translucent fabric

  • Facial recognition patterns on mesh overlays

• Viewers can physically lift these layers to reveal the "untouched" scene beneath

• Use of phosphorescent paint for certain elements, revealing hidden surveillance aspects when the lights are dimmed

This project allows for a deep, personal exploration of how surveillance technologies overlay our physical world. The interactive element of lifting layers invites viewers to actively engage with the concept of peeling back surveillance to find the human experience underneath.

This concept for a short, animated film offers a visual narrative of life in a surveillance society. Using minimalist, geometric animation contrasted with organic elements, it tells a story of confinement, discovery, and resistance.

Key Features:

• Geometric visuals representing digital infrastructure

• Color symbolism: cool blues for surveillance, warm oranges for humanity

• Narrative arc from isolation to connection

• Themes of glitches as opportunities for freedom

An immersive, room-scale installation that physically represents the digital constraints of health surveillance systems.

Key Elements:

• A maze-like structure with transparent walls, representing the invisible nature of digital surveillance

• QR code projections that change colors (green, yellow, red) as visitors move through the space

• Motion sensors that trigger audio clips of real people's experiences with health code systems

• A central "control room" where visitors can observe others navigating the maze

Opportunities for Collaboration:

• Artists specializing in installation art and projection mapping

• Sound designers for creating the ambient audio landscape

• Researchers to provide data and real-world accounts of surveillance experiences

A digital anthology that pairs short stories with digital artworks, each exploring a different facet of life under pervasive health surveillance.

Key Elements:

• 10-15 pairs of short stories (1000-3000 words) and accompanying digital artworks

• Each pair focuses on a specific theme or scenario, such as "The Last Bytes of Privacy," "A Glitch in the System," or "Hereditary Risk Scores"

• Digital art in various styles: 3D rendering, digital painting, generative art, animated GIFs, etc.

• An interactive online platform where readers can seamlessly navigate between stories and artworks

Opportunities for Collaboration:

• Short story writers from diverse backgrounds

• Digital artists specializing in various techniques

• Individuals with personal experiences of health surveillance to consult on story ideas

Step into a near-future world where digital health codes control every aspect of daily life. This graphic novella concept blends visual storytelling with poignant narrative to explore the (un)intended consequences of public health technologies as they are incorporated in vast surveillance networks.

Key Elements:

• Minimalist art style with bold, high-contrast illustrations

• Characters navigating a world of QR codes and health algorithms

• Themes of digital divide, systemic glitches, and human resilience

• Potential for interactive elements in a digital version
