IN PRODUCTION ON: Pareidolia my CalArts thesis, a 5-7 minute animation film, and an art show/installation involving still imagery, single-channel projections, and live musical performances. This multi-faceted project will be a veiled stream-of-conscious self-portrait, exploring the border between reality and imaginary dream realms. Using pareidolic phenomena as a visual and conceptual framework, the film will be an attempt to locate myself in the mythic chaos of life by trying to construct meaning from the random stimulus of my own thoughts, memories, dreams, and personal history.
*Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which meaning is created from random stimulusfor example, when you cloud-watch and see faces or animals. "QUICK AND DIRTY" ANIMATED EXQUISITE CORPSE PROJECT: co-curator and participating member of this awesome project:
