Vessels
In Vessels, water is used to visually and sonically represent biometric data. The visitor’s heart rate is measured by reading blood density in the fingertip, and transposed into a liquid sequence which travels through a tube in the gallery. This sequence ends as drops onto a resonant steel drum, translating the sequence into sound. The water is collected in a reservoir for recirculation through the system.
Pelham Johnston and eve Warnock presented Vessels at the Transflux exhibition. Yerba Buena Center for the Arts: Room for Big Ideas: San Francisco
Transflux, the multi-media interactive exhibition artists Gene A. Felice II, Nathaniel Ober, and Eve Warnock explored the themes of biomimicry and interconnectedness between inner worlds and outer worlds, between the largest (cosmos) and smallest (microcosms) realms known to humans.

HERD
HERD, created by eve Warnock and Kate Spacek, bridges artistic conceptual development with science-based research and experimental co-creation to explore the correlations between and impacts of herding behaviors in humans and animals. To discover the many facets of herding behavior, on micro- and macro-levels, HERD combines science, engineering, economics, psychology, sociology, networking, and urban planning with movement, sound, performance, costume, and digital media. HERD activates through workshops, gallery exhibitions, speaking engagements, urban games, public installations, and performances.

Seekago
Seekago is five experimental films that in their entirety tell a love story of two characters, the Traveler and the
Bagged Woman. It begins with birth and death, into journey and experience, to love and sacrifice, to survival and community, and finally transcendence into a world beyond. However, each film in the series also works independently as an individual piece telling its own story, commenting on areas of human and environmental ecology. SEEKAGO is Breathing, Asphalt, The Chicken and the Coyote, Feast, and Flight. Seekago was a collaboration between UCSC students, faculty, professional artists and researchers, and city workers.
