Data Visualization

a. Global Wildfires: National Regime Status and Trends of 2000

48" x 48" poster, 2006
An information mapping project visually illustrating current global wildfire trends. The project reveals that wildfire behaviors have changed for the first time in history — due to climate change and other human-caused factors. Global wildfires are currently a major threat to biodiversity conservation.

b. Chiros

video installation, 2008
'Chiros' was a collabration with new media artists Melanie Crean and Rory Solomon. Over the course of 8 years, Melanie Crean interviewed 15 HIV positive women. The interviews are personal essays about how the women's perceptions of time changed
since being diagnosed. They often express both an urgency related to chronological time, and occassional interruptions by chiros,
a perceived suspension of time during happy moments. As a way to visualize the chiros moment, we created an alternate clock
that runs alongside the interview videos. The clock responds to the words and moods of the women in order to capture that perceived moment of time not exsiting.
