“You are only one individual. But together you can weave something that withstands time.”

Presented at Stanford Laptop Orchestra @Bing Concert Hall (2026), The Internet Archive, and Shanghai Baixin Bookstore. Weave is a performance piece that asks how we might stand together and face the ongoing disruptions in our world. Physical threads become virtual threads and sounds, transcending space and time. The piece is coded with AIK2 and performed with AIK2, Alex, Anthony, Heloise, Summer, and Siqi.

The recording of Weave starts at 30:04 of the video, which should have been auto-located. 

“Captain’s Log, Stardate 53247.3. We are down to a skeleton crew. Morale is low after the accident. Diagnostic checks report that the navigation system malfunctioned twice during yesterday’s journey, but our remaining engineer reports that recent inspection shows all systems functioning as expected. This discrepancy is troubling, but we are in the final stretch of reaching Slorkus, so we must push forward … the mission cannot fail.”

Presented at the Tiat Salon #17 and Slorkastic Chamber Music Orchestra (2026), Warp 10 is a piece that shows you both the awe and horror of space travel. This piece is coded, polished, and performed with Ben Hoang and Gregg Oliva. 

Write anything in this terminal; write as much as you want. But be aware the words might disappear. And the best part is, you don’t know which word would get removed, for what reason, and if it will ever come back.

Self-Censorship is a live musical and textual environment based on ChAI (AI in ChucK) where typing becomes performance and erasure becomes sound. Within the work, users are granted maximum freedom to type anything into a terminal interface, while confronting the persistent risk that the input words may be algorithmically erased.

The author created this piece when reflecting upon the doctrinality of societies. It is an emotional reaction to th restraints upon us, implicitly or explicitly, by customs and rules. In this piece, she invited the machine to co-create with her, through playing a vicious character, to replicate a partial truth of the system we live in.

The-Three-Fates is a Chuck Audio-Visual Interactive program. Functionally it reflects time-based and spectral-based waveforms, as well as the history. Aesthetically it narrates the notion of life, death, and time.

In Greek mythology, three sister goddesses together determine the fate of mortals. Clotho, the Spinner, spins the thread of life; Lachesis, the Allotter, measures its length and trials; and Atropos, the Inflexible, cuts it with her shears to end a life. Together they are known as the Three Fates, or Moirai.

W411

MaxMsp Patch Performance, Dec 2022

Presented at the Grant Recital Hall @ Brown, the W4ll is a MaxMsp endeavor that MC (yes, another MC) and I collaborated on.  he work explores the physical and emotional isolation experienced during and after the pandemic. Each knocking pattern on this concrete block wall triggers a different audiovisual response. The name "W411" abstracts the physical installation, signifying that it embodies more than a singular concept.
