James Bridle in 2011 coined the term “New Aesthetic,” to describe our society’s newfound fascination with blurring the line between physical and virtual. We see examples of this everywhere. Designers are now designing things to look digital, pixilated, and glitch-y. Not long ago, the U.S. Army replaced their iconic swirly green, brown, and black camouflaged patterned fatigues with that of a pixilated version. It is a great example of our digital world directly influencing modern design.
These installations are an interpretation of James Bridle’s concept of the New Aesthetic with the goal being to achieve a sense of blurring between found, hand-made, and digitally produced.

This body of work was inspired by airport luggage scanning technology. The system uses specific colors to identify what types of objects are passing through the scanner. Objects identified with the color orange or purple are typically organic materials, such as cotton clothing or drugs. Green objects are usually objects made of glass or plastic and blue objects are metal. This process is of course used to help identify suspicious or dangerous objects in our luggage, but my goal was to mimic this system via the silkscreen process to playfully address the very sensitive social and political issues of our time.
