This project is a look into a speculated future in which humans are able to grow their own ‘trichomes’ from their body to protect them from harmful, respiratory pollutants such as pollen, dirt, potential virus spores. About 80% of plant species have trichomes depending on their genetic makeup and what these trichomes do is protect them from pollutants.&nbsp; The piece was showcased at Madsen Sylvester Studio as a a physical and digital exhibition that lasted for two weeks. A QR code was visible from passerbys of the gallery and when scanned, would allow users to wear an augmented reality filter showing their face, with plant trichomes growing from their skin.︎https://www.cyanamadsen.com/madsen-sylvester-studio︎ Corporeal Gestalt Conceptual Art, Performance Art, Photogrammetry, 3D Art 11-13-2024 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1668" height="1651" width_o="1668" height_o="1651" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a75560014b33c4d5152a9f6bdd6e4dcfe3f196356bd0b51de87dacc5894b5be8/Untitled_Artwork-35.png" data-mid="223396456" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a75560014b33c4d5152a9f6bdd6e4dcfe3f196356bd0b51de87dacc5894b5be8/Untitled_Artwork-35.png" /> ︎ Photogrammetry ︎ Virtual Reality Prototyping ︎ Spatial Design&nbsp;︎ 3D Art Selected as one of 5 international artists, I participated in a virtual, live performance exhibition curated by artist and curator, Katherine Hintz. Five artists included myself worked for seven weeks putting together separate VR experiences all under the theme of digital identity, the digital body and connection through 3D environments. We helped curate the show, Corporeal Gestalt where we all performed in real time to an audience in virtual space. My piece being titled “IN ARTIFICIAL REALITIES, MY FEMALE BODY CAN LAY TO REST”, I explored my own body in the safety of online space and it’s implacations outside of sexual context. &nbsp; See the full piece here : ︎https://verse.loop.onland.io/EH4AjRi/corporeal-gestalt︎ https://maricelspace.com/CSM-Front-Page-copy Mon, 16 Dec 2024 00:38:54 +0000 maricel https://maricelspace.com/CSM-Front-Page-copy Central Saint Martins&nbsp; Fellowship Producing, Teaching, Artist 12-06-2023 <img width="1532" height="902" width_o="1532" height_o="902" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/278e21d66cb7b8fd26747a8c1ddd33a09a06e9113b8b8278d1b53f181e2f08b5/PartyBriefInvitation.png" data-mid="223396346" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/278e21d66cb7b8fd26747a8c1ddd33a09a06e9113b8b8278d1b53f181e2f08b5/PartyBriefInvitation.png" /> ︎ Producing ︎ Assistant Teaching ︎ Photogrammetry&nbsp;︎ HTML Coding You, Watching Me, Watching You, Watching Us is an immersive experience questioning what it means to be sensed, measured and quantified by machines.

With the very recent release of Apple’s Vision Pro at the time, I believe that we unlocked a new epoch that could lead to augmented reality being an integrated part of everyday life. This film was made during the Johnny Carson Center’s 72 Hour film festival hosted at ILM London.

By combining interactive technical intalls, live actors and physical theater props, a new world was brought to life and opened to the public. Audience members of all ages were encouraged to participate in the world by being offered multiple settings, activities and affordances. While creating this experience my team and I wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable in the experience while at the same time engaged. We did this by making it possible to mingle, dance, lounge and order from the “sensory bar.” There was also the option to could follow the storyline which acted as a puzzle. You had to talk to each of the forest characters to receive a token to meet and speak with the moon spirit.&nbsp; At the end of the night, the moon spirit then came out and mingled with all of the guests. https://maricelspace.com/Nostalgia-Front-Page Sat, 06 Apr 2024 22:20:01 +0000 maricel https://maricelspace.com/Nostalgia-Front-Page Nostalgia For the Future Worldingbuilding, Installation Design 09-13-2021 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="6024" height="4022" width_o="6024" height_o="4022" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d94b8e41a4463388057c355c8e9813088c916d584e7991403ba5c682a34a639/_MG_9238-min.jpg" data-mid="208427842" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d94b8e41a4463388057c355c8e9813088c916d584e7991403ba5c682a34a639/_MG_9238-min.jpg" /> ︎ Installation Design&nbsp; ︎ Projection Mapping ︎ Video Editing︎ Directing︎ Marketing Nostalgia for the Future is window display piece that showcases a fashion line.
