Global brand exploration and identity design for Warner Bros. Colour Imaging department. 2019.
Vibrant process colour and silkscreen overlay experiments were created to pay homage to early color techniques used in mass production. Human and machine continue to work together to create unique color visual landscapes that appear in the physical and digital worlds. The varying combinations of color within the Warner Bros. logo emphasize the strength of the iconic logo and the endless possibilities of color that can be explored within it.

Without Alarm II was an exhibit in which artists created installations and projection pieces that were shown in the decaying cells of the old Lincoln Heights Jail in Los Angeles.
As a kid, I used to spend my time after school in the basement of the Sheriff station (my father’s office) looking through mugshots which were filed in what resembled small recipe boxes. I of course, jumped at the chance to work on this project for The Arroyo Arts Collective.
The booklet leans towards the early graphic sensibility of record keeping, which was mainly xerox and microfiche, and uses photographs and forms from the actual jail to describe the exhibits.

Moral Code is a visual and sound experience created by Karen Walker Chamberlin (musical artist Elouise) and exhibited at SOUNDPEDRO 2017. SOUNDPEDRO is an annual event comprised of indoor / outdoor site specific sound installations at the the Angels Gate Cultural Center, San Pedro California.
In Moral Code, morse code is used as an alternative to synthesized speech for sending automated data. It is a communication method used for messages of immediacy and necessity. It is used as last resort. In this film, Morse code translates significant moral speech that has defined the moral code of our country for the last 50 years. Reverberating over landscapes at the edge of the electronic urban grid. Sound waves passing over our time continuum that spans past, present and future. A last resort, a desperate attempt to communicate the immediacy and importance of the message without distraction. Is anyone still listening?

Trans•mi•gra•tion is the passage of a soul after death into another body; metempsychosis.
Transmigration is a 5 song collaborative and continued deconstruction of sound created by the band Elouise and American Horror Story theme song composer César Dávila-Irizarry. An intersection of primitive American folk, industrial and cinematic soundscapes. Sound weaving through the space and time continuum with apparitions of Americana standards and visitations of original songs haunted by ghosts in the machine.
