Night School

Web

Microsite for a week-long workshop at the Yale School of Art, featuring activities including improvisational choreography, cooking sessions, lectures, sound-making and more. These nightly workshops were initiated to encourage a group of graphic design students to seek connections and overlaps between their own discipline with other artistic practices. The website is energetic, lively, and echoes the movement of people in space. Changing throughout the day, the site grows incrementally darker as it approaches the start of the workshop’s programming, which begins daily in the evening.

32 Poems from Monterey Park

Print / Web

32 poems (16 in English, 16 in Chinese) collaged from screenshots of found text scraped off of buildings, signages, and other city constructions. All screenshots were taken from the Google street view of Monterey Park, a neighborhood in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles with a dense Chinese-American population. Taking the forms of a website and zines, the resulting collages function as maps for poetically navigating the neighborhood as well as an ode to a city.
