MEDUSAI



Built

Summer 2023

 In my position at Formations Studio, I was given the opportunity to work on the fabrication team for MedusAI, a kinetic, musical sculpture based on the myth of Medusa that responds to the human motion detected around it by altering the motion of the attached UFactory xArm industrial robots and musical tempo.

As a member of the build team, I helped construct the steel body using hundreds of unique CNC plasma cut pieces of 10 gauge mild steel, as well as an internal steel frame supporting the robotic arms which act as Medusa’s ‘hair of snakes’ and pluck strings as well as drum on the steel body, which resonates differently depending on the size of the facet that is struck.

In the words of Robotics Lead Amit Rogel, “The MedusAI project is an attempt to capture and reflect on the good intentions and promises of AI on one hand and the risks and dangers on the other.” The sculpture manages to strike a balance between the inspirational and the eerie with its observation and movement based on the movements of the humans surrounding it.

 I am an architectural designer, digital fabricator, and Adjunct Professor working in the Fabrication Center at IIT's College of Architecture. In my position I focus on managing digital aspects of student and faculty fabrication work and assist with research projects focusing on robotic workflows. I also teach classes on digital and robotic fabrication within the college.

I hold a B.S.Arch and M.Arch from the Georgia Institute of Technology, specifically focusing my studies on robotic construction and CNC workflows. I am extremely passionate about digital fabrication and have experience producing both small scale and large scale, inhabitable installations.

In my time as a design and fabrication intern at Formations Studio, the creative practice of Tristan Al-Haddad, I was exposed to numerous innovative digital fabrication methods as I assisted with the construction of multiple large scale spatial installations as well as producing construction drawings, concept drawings, and client presentations. In my position as Graduate Fabrication Assistant at Georgia Tech's Digital Fabrication Lab I was able to assist with students and faculty at the cutting edge of computer assisted construction as well as improve my own digital fabrication skills in the school's state-of-the-art design lab.

I aim to use my knowledge of fabrication to minimize waste and material usage in my projects, as I believe sustainability and protecting our future is vital. I am a LEED Accredited Professional as well as a WELL Accredited Professional, having used knowledge and concepts from these rating systems to improve both my personal projects as well as my studio and professional work in terms of sustainability.  

In my free time, I enjoy bar trivia, carving wooden spoons, improving my Irish Gaelic language skills, long distance thru-hiking, and reading novels (Knut Hamsun and Kurt Vonnegut, preferably). I have put my bar trivia knowledge to the test as a contestant on Jeopardy! three times, winning once, and I used my winnings to fund a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in the Summer of 2024 with friends from Grad School.
