ARTIST STATEMENT
I primarily use digital media both to shape and present my work.
Examples of my projects include image and video editing, animation, HTML, 3D printing, etc.
As someone who grew up using computers, expressing myself through them is second nature to me.
I work in digital media as a means to get closer to my goal: creating an independent video game that I can be proud of.
Programs that I use to create my art include Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, and Dreamweaver.
I often incorporate images I found online into my projects.
This can be seen in my project Drive Dive, which aims to give viewers a fun and engaging experience.
In this work, I took measures to make certain elements interactive and enjoyable to explore.
This is the kind of mindset I would want to bring to my future game projects.

RE: Reaction Videos, Digital Video, 3min 26sec, 2019
This video is a response to the increasingly popular genre of content known as "reaction videos" which feature one or more people reacting to other video content.
In my work, I explore the widespread obsession with online reaction videos for the purpose of poking fun at both uploaders and viewers.

Waterfall Beat, Digital Video, 2min 28sec, 2019
This piece portrays a martial artist diligently training in a serene landscape.
Her karate techniques exude a tangible rhythm. This is a fighter's dedication to her craft.
This video is meant to be projected onto the entirety of a large indoor wall and looped nonstop.

Drive Dive, Interactive Net Art, 2019This is an interactive experience composed of images, gifs, and video clips I had saved
to my hard drive over the years.
Thorough exploration of the site will yield some hidden pages.
The featured video Vintage AniMemes is a remix/mashup I made using found footage dating back to around 2010.

Digital Me, Interactive Net Art, 2019This project showcases my tendencies and thought processes through recorded footage of me playing video games.
I condensed several hours of my gameplay into a montage of my favorite clips.
Each page is dedicated to a character I play with descriptions and examples to provide insight into my mind.
This is why I love video games.
