Resonate Pages
*(Creative Coding), (Touch Designer)

Developed during a two-year coastal residency in Rhode Island, Resonant Pages uses Python to analyze ocean wave recordings via Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), extracting dynamic frequency and amplitude information. This data is streamed into TouchDesigner using OSC (Open Sound Control), where it drives a generative particle system. The system produces constantly evolving linework and motion fields that echo the energy of tides and coastal wind, projected in real time onto physical artist books.

Acrylic, Metal, Silver MirrorThe book design pushes the boundaries of visual language through creative coding experiments and physical material design. It used multiple artificial materials to visualize Rhode Island’s residency experience, printed with hot foil transfer and tactile materials, paper serve as both narrative medium and expression surface.
