Work continues on my fog commission. Exploring #fog as both a figure/trope in horror and as a positive role model for #trans embodiment. Creating 3D environments with #threejs that contain foggy objects, texts, and environments that are rendered in #ASCII characters. Learning more about #shaders, animation, object manipulation, and #proceduralgeneration in the process.

A screenshot of a web browser with the developer panel open. The webpage is a 3D space with fog textures and text rendered in white ASCII characters on a black background. The developer panel shows the console which is displaying text generated from console.log commands.

@srfirehorseart Thanks! I would say it's mostly home computers right now but I do have a project in mind that involves refurnishing and/or recreating computing devices from the 1930s-1950s as part of an art installation. This is very much just a seed of an idea right now though.

@Impossible_PhD yeah wow, that would be a lot to process.

HRT is such an interesting process, so many big changes in the first few years but looking back, I can see that things also changed between years 5-10. Being on it for over a decade now has me curious what non-HRT me would look like at this age.

@Impossible_PhD this is all so true. I started transitioning roughly 13 years ago (I am in my mid thirties now) and it was over 5 years of being out before I met a trans person who was over 30. It does real and ongoing damage to us as a community.

I have also been referred to as a “trans elder” recently and it is so telling that someone would consider a person in their mid-thirties an elder.

@kayserifserif I wrote a little blog about this in relation to my own art/code work in 2021, maybe be of interest?

I totally agree with your sentiments, love how reading code can conjure a version of its writer in your mind.

A quick preview of my current #workinprogress. Using #threejs with #ascii filtering and mouse interaction to create an scene where viewers click and drag planes of acsii symbols to reveal the overlayed text. The text is separate from the scene and uses #css to overlay while remaining non-interactive thereby allowing the three.js scene to interacted with uninterrupted.

This is my first museum commissioned work and it explores #fog as an aspirational figure for #trans embodiment.

Hello!

I am an artist and professor of Creative Technologies at Virginia Tech. In my work, I focus on the ways technologies of visualization and control intersect with and threaten #trans lives.

I work in #creativecode, #sculpture, #writing, #artistbooks, and more. Lately I have been doing a lot of #webdev for my projects and in my teaching.

Earlier this year, I combined my #HTML / #CSS / #JavaScript teaching resources into a single (free and open) site that I am really proud of:

https://byhand.website

I am also interested in #horror, #scifi, #solarpunk, #permacomputing, #historyoftechnology, #transstudies, #maps, #archives, #zines, and #ttrpgs.
