>The Sol LeWitt App
An innovative AI experience to help a new generation discover Sol LeWitt, the postwar art pioneer and forefather of today’s digital creativity.
To further Microsoft’s commitment to innovating how we explore art and culture, I worked closely with innovative design agency Ada, curator Lindsay Aveilhé, and the Sol LeWitt Estate to concept, design and launch a new form of digital art experience: an AI-driven app that takes users beyond the museum with an unparalleled inside look into the life and career of Sol LeWitt and his legacy.
>Undercurrents
A boundary-pushing art exhibition offering creative new visions for climate action.
To inspire action, you first have to alter perception. Undercurrent brings together over 40 musicians, artists, creatives and nonprofit partners to present immersive artworks designed to provoke reactions to the Climate Crisis and empower attendees to participate in a better future. Visitors can explore the ocean with Nosaj Thing, search for pollen with Bon Iver, reconnect to nature with Aluna, and more. I partnered with the Ada agency to provide creative direction and scriptwriting.
>On Acid: A Field Guide to Altered States
The On Acid book presents a radical re-edit of the history of drug experience, following modernity's conflicted obsessions with altered states and surreal intersections of pharmaceuticals, art, and society across centuries.
Tracing a path beginning with philosopher Benjamin Blood's 1874 pamphlet 'The Anesthetic Revelation and the Gist of Philosophy' which declares the existence of a 'majesty and supremacy unspeakable' observable only after being dosed by nitrous oxide, On Acid connects works by William James, Antonin Artaud, Timothy Leary, and various modernist explorers, to the practice of contemporary artists such as Rodney Graham, Francis Alÿs, Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe. Removed from the familiar cultural contexts of Haight-Ashbury and Grateful Dead psychedelia, On Acid reflects an experimental critical program, an acidic process that mirrors the deconstructive relations to counterculture cultivated in contemporary art. The book concludes with a series of new conversations with Freeman and Lowe, Hamilton Morris, and Arik Roper. 100 pages, full-color. Printed in Italy on Munken Arctic paper. Edited by William Rauscher and John Moeller, designed by John Moeller.
>Acid Age
A digital archive and research project cataloging the endless manifestations of psychedelic drugs and experiences throughout human society.
On Acid: A Field Guide to Altered States was born out of the years of research into psychedelia and art collected in the Acid Age blog archive, curated by John Moeller and William Rauscher.
