06 SARI SUKI 2050

SARI SUKI 2050 is an installation that was exhibited at 856G Gallery in Cebu, Philippines.

The project explores an alternative future through the lens of a “Sari-Sari,” a local, Filipino convenience
store. Taking into consideration neighborhood economic models (like “sukinomics”), climate change, growing
population and mass city migration as well as site-specific cultural notions and materials, we
reimagined everyday objects and their future utility.

Made under the collective and pseudonym, VSOON, with Noah Emrich and Chris Fussner.

07 DATA CAFE

DataCafe.biz is an interactive installation that was exhibited at NYCxDesign Week at Industry City.

The project critically looks at the current paradigm of data ownership by simulating an everyday  exchange of personal information for an internet cookie (that is symbolically represented by homemade cookies). The project consisted of spatial, web, interface, and print design along with machine learning.

Made in collaboration with Noah Emrich, Chris Fussner, and Henry Lam.
