Touch Grid: Material Studies

“Touch Grid” is a material study exploring the paradox of digital tactility. Composed of looping, screen-based fragments, the work reflects on the sensory absence embedded within graphical user interfaces — the smooth, untouchable surfaces that mediate our daily encounters. Interspersed among these digital gestures are images and videos of tactile encounters: hands pressing into slime, the exchange of money between palms, two people connected by string, a plaster mold forming a prosthetic foot. Together, these moments oscillate between the mediated and the material, evoking the longing for physical connection in a culture increasingly organized through screens, gestures, and immaterial contact.

Unplanned Models is a material study of urbanism and media design. The video layers a late-night walk through Echo Park with a four-part grid of photogrammetry models — abandoned couches captured on sidewalks across Los Angeles. Each rendered object becomes a fragment of the city’s informal landscape, where discarded material and digital reconstruction meet. The work considers how everyday urban residue—objects left behind, scanned, and remade—reveals the tension between lived experience and the mediated surfaces through which the city is seen and understood.
