This project is comprised of the patterns created by a photographic printer at times when its heads were clogged. Scans of the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black imagery have been assembled into a Printer’s Rainbow – a fleeting optical phenomenon in its own right.

CrumBarf mangles the cookie crumbs you leave behind after your digital excursions. By hunting down and hastily chewing up your browser’s image caches and barfing them into video RAM, CrumBarf is constantly d/evolving as a cracked-media-mirror reflecting and refracting the host computer’s habits, preferences, dreams, and desires.
Watching a 3d printer at work elicits a hypnotic response amongst people. Drawn to the alchemical event in front of them their gaze is transfixed on these objects seemingly appearing from nowhere. For Acre TV I have inverted the point of view to sit upon the shoulder of the extruder as it delineates the perimeter of the object it is building. The result is a fractured glimpse at the process of 3D printing. Lines, forms, patterns, surfaces and volumes move in and out of the aperture creating a stream of images that hopefully is both interesting and confounding. The colors visible in the surface of the plastic is added by hand to the filament prior to the extruder nozzle. The length and frequency of the marks made on the spool are echoed in the striation of lines horizontally bisecting the object. Over the course of my “show” I will print a range of objects. Please note that there will be periods of downtime as the machine is calibrated, cleaned and restarted.
EmoFlux is a system that visualizes the emotional flow as a weather pattern. It allows the audience to see the emotional circulation and distribution across the country and the neighborhoods that they live in. Through this project, I am discovering the relationships between the geographical space and emotions that are shared via Twitter.
A television program that continually ends and re-generates itself as long as it runs. Television shows help reproduce ordinary life through their repetition and banality, but sometimes they also promise aspiration and betterment through everyday labor. Have you thought about installing a new water feature?
Visualizing geographic data as chemical leakage. Comprised of GPS data recorded from 2011 to 2013 and grotesque amounts of Gray-Scott reaction diffusion.
Memento Maury is a generative video exploring gender essentialism and racial/cultural stereotyping as evidenced by the long-running daytime talk program The Maury Povich Show. By aggregating video clips from over 100 episodes, one can see not only how the formulaic aspects of the show emphasize gender and racial tropes, but also how the repetition built in to popular media serves to both reflect and further ossify social and cultural hierarchical structures. All video was collected from video hosted at Youtube.com. Effects were created using custom software built with the open source programming language and development environment Processing.

For Painting Generator, Chambers created marks using his computer input as an interface and exported the results as digital files. Using three arrays in the Processing language, one image from each array is grabbed then displayed randomly on the screen every 1-2 seconds. This randomness also extends to color. What follows is an almost infinite display of composition, using the algorithms to do the heavy work.
