The Automod

Fine Art | Art-Based Research | Multimedia Collage | HTML/CSS
The Automod is a multimedia installation and research-based art project exploring the aesthetics of future surveillance and automated systems. Drawing from speculative fiction, AI ethics, and a distinctive New York City culture, I created a series of prints, digital collages, and sculptural elements housed within a simulated environment.
The project, which primarily consists of a custom-coded HTML/CSS interactive website with multiple openable "compartments," is inspired by the mid-century restaurant chain, the Horn & Hardart Automat. Each cubby contains an experimental video or artwork, blending art and interface into a comprehensive, interactive work.
