About
How to give voice to parts of the natural world that can't speak for themselves, so people can feel a real connection to them. This project does this with water and the ocean: an immersive experiential and WebGL experience where you meet a living sea
Impact
By giving abstract voiceless things, like an ocean, a way to speak, we help people empathize with what they'd normally overlook. Pelagene turns climate loss into something felt, not just read about, using immersive installation
Progress
We've begun mapping the full story as an experiential, non-linear documentary treatment. Researched approaches to the voice and fluid-simulation visuals, and started exploring how to weave real-time data into the piece.
Team
I'm an artist and maker who's been building with machine learning and immersive/spatial technologies since 2019, collaborating on a number of projects along the way. My website speaks for itself.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
