Today was the final day to see ‘Certainty of the Flesh’ at @haus_der_kunst. Conceived as an AI trans reality show, it was the creative vision of artist @wangshui_ that I had the joy of crafting technically. The multi year process of creating this work involved so many talented collaborators. So proud of this work and congratulations to everyone involved.

Over the past few months I have had the privilege of collaborating with artist @wangshui_ to bring their LED sculpture to life as part of the Whitney Biennial
This was my first time handling this kind of interaction design and tech producing and I am so appreciative of @ivaylopg for making the connection
Shui brought together an incredible team including @fabiolalariosm @moisesdsanabria @unitedfutures and @_oliviamcleod_
There is so much beautiful and challenging work here, I highly encourage a visit to the Whitney if you are in NYC
The Biennial is running now through September 5th!
