Malefi-scent's Descent

Blooming now · Amazon Spheres, Seattle

A vigil over a single bloom — its vital signs become a heartbeat, a lullaby in C♯, and a breathing field of light.

Seven Layers

7 works

Seven Layers gives form to the invisible pillars of the internet — the patient machinery that names things, routes them, certifies identities, measures distance, settles money, carries anonymous voices, and listens for unwanted callers, every second of every day. Continuous sound and light, in real time. Audio and composition still evolving.

What Remains

1 work

On the fragility of memory, individual and collective. We are made of what we remember, and we remember almost nothing; a community keeps less still — only the history it chooses to preserve. The works carry that fragility outward, from the single mind to the commons, through the ways the past is lost to erosion, distorted in the telling, and hardened into law. More to come.

Hidden Layers

3 works

Hidden Layers gives form to the interior of a learning machine — the place, ordinarily sealed, where a system is shown examples, is wrong, is corrected, and by degrees comes to know. Each work trains a real network in the open and renders the learning itself: the hours of becoming, the settling into fluency, and the quiet that follows. Continuous image and sound, in real time. More to come.
