BIOGRAPHY & SELECTED WORKS

• Early Practice & Visual Arts •While Emily is trained in fine arts such as illustration, painting, and printmaking; she is recognized for pioneering work in the glitch and computer arts field. She has an extensive portfolio of visual and multimedia collections, has exhibited at various galleries and art festivals, and has sold her collections as art books and art objects in stores worldwide. Noted collections / art books include: Systems, Shape Fields, Playgrounds, Growth, Disintegrated Data, Scanner Collages, Noise Loops, CMY/K, Glitch Bubbles (object set), In Another World (art book with paired Virtual Reality experience).• Sound Art •One of her earlier sound design pieces involved designing a custom computer program for performance art, creating an instrument out of the space in a room, using dance and audience participation to create generative music. Her current work in sound design lays at the intersection of perception and neuroscience, discovering new phenomenological insights with mathematical computer music. Emily is a classical singer and producer who was among the first to use layered and altered vocal looping for computer music composition. She also reworks archival vocal samples, blending historical singers with contemporary beats.• Interactive Publication •Her piece “Vibrating N-Sphere” was an interpretational topological figure that used a computer generated still image, a looping iterative animation, and vocal-based sound design. It was featured as the last page of the world’s first Augmented Reality art book, Prosthetic Reality, published in Australia by Eyejack. The collection was also shown in various public spaces and galleries internationally.• Cultural Analysis •Using cultural analysis in a political context, Emily has written various essays on sociology and geopolitical strategy, published as blogs. Topics include how power and propaganda influences the art world and educational institutions, how societies shift based on fear and conformity, and how words and definitions change to accommodate these shifts.

• Cultural Programming •Emily is the founder of the Joshua Tree Zine Fest, which ran for two years and put Joshua Tree on the map worldwide as a creative hub. She has produced arts programs and curated an art book exhibition for the Palm Springs Art Museum. She also founded and organized monthly makers markets and music festivals in a Joshua Tree community art gallery and Palm Desert’s Westfield shopping center. She’s hosted intimate concerts for numerous musicians from across the country.• Curating in Business •Emily owned the 6-month durational pop-up showroom and micro auction house, Joyful Living, in the Uptown Design District of Palm Springs, where she curated abstract screenprints from the 70s-80s, various art books, and vintage designer fashion from the 60s-2000s. She also deployed experimental methods she invented for business and sales during this project, including gamified experiences, and nfc “buttons” for interactive shopping and self-checkout.• Current Integration with Brands •Her current collaborations focus on branding and marketing for hotels, lounges, restaurants, and retail spaces. She strategizes to create a cohesive and contemporary identity, creates custom software for consistent visual branding, curates atmospheric music with pre-recorded mixes and live DJ sets, and offers insights for experiential design. She uses intuitive intelligence, cultural analysis, and iterative analytics to create campaigns and environments that move businesses forward and keep them one step ahead.• Artifical Intelligence Applications •Emily has embraced using natural language for programming across the arts, sound design, and business and marketing. This allows for speed and precision in her creative work. She also creates spaces to archive and educate on AI prompt engineering.CONTINUE FOR CURRENT COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES…

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Emily is available for Artist Residencies with cultural locations and select hotels. Her aim is to immerse herself in the culture of a contained space and create a body of work that can serve as a site-specific time capsule. The collection will reflect the identity, atmosphere, and cultural moment of the space. Throughout the residency, the program may include open studio events, culminating in an annual exhibit. A select art piece will be given to the space for their permanent collection. Residencies are structured to include accommodations, a materials stipend, and a retainer, scaled to the scope and duration of the program. 1-year minimum per site.
