Have a Giffy Day, 2025 (ongoing)
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/Giffy_Day.html

A browser-based system that aggregates and displays the fifty most actively circulating GIFs in real time. Drawing from live network data, the work captures a constantly shifting field of shared visual language, momentarily stabilizing it as a collective snapshot. By isolating high-frequency imagery, the piece foregrounds repetition, circulation, and attention as structuring forces, positioning the GIF as a unit of cultural signal within a distributed and continuously updating system.

 The Daily, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/The_Daily.html

A browser-based system that aggregates and extracts the most frequently occurring words from international English-language news headlines in real time. By reducing complex global events into a shifting field of repeated terms, the work compresses narrative into signal, foregrounding patterns of emphasis, omission, and circulation. The resulting display operates as a continuously updating index of attention, where language is stripped of context and reorganized as a measure of collective focus.

Opinionated, 2026
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/My_Opinions.html

A browser-based system in which statements are fully obscured, replaced by uniform black field that signal their suppression. While the structure of opinion remains present, its content is withheld, reducing expression to a visible condition of censorship. By presenting only the absence of language, the work foregrounds redaction as both a visual form and a governing mechanism, positioning opinion as something simultaneously produced and denied within a controlled system.

Futile Game, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/Futile_Game.html

A browser-based implementation of tic-tac-toe in which opposing players are structurally prevented from winning, producing an endless sequence of draws. The system removes the possibility of resolution, transforming competition into a state of perpetual equilibrium. By sustaining conflict without outcome, the work models a closed loop of interaction where opposition persists but never culminates, positioning gameplay as a mechanism of stalled consensus and controlled futility.

Stasis of State, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/StasisOfState.html

A browser-based system in which X and O markers continuously oscillate between states, shifting color, appearing and disappearing in an ongoing cycle. Despite constant visual change, no position is stabilized and no outcome is produced. The work stages stasis through repetition, where variation persists without accumulation, and opposing states cancel one another through continuous reversal. Movement is sustained, but the system remains fixed within an unresolvable loop.

Tidal Synth, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/svg_tide_synth_full.html

A browser-based system that translates real-time ocean buoy data into sound through additive synthesis. Wave height measurements from distributed national buoys are mapped onto a sum-of-sines model, where each data stream contributes to a continuously shifting audio field. Environmental conditions are reconstituted as frequency, amplitude, and phase, positioning the ocean as a distributed signal source. The work treats natural fluctuation as input for a generative system, converting geophysical variation into an audible structure of oscillation and interference.

The Impending Whistle, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/The_Impending_Whistle.html

A browser-based system that translates the spatial relationship between Earth and known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids into sound. Orbital data is mapped to pitch, producing a continuously shifting audio field in which approaching bodies generate rising tones while receding trajectories lower in frequency. The work renders proximity as an audible signal, converting distant celestial movement into a perceptible register of variation and intensity. By framing astronomical data as a dynamic field of oscillation, the piece positions threat as something continuously present yet unevenly distributed across time and space.

A Little Bitty-Ity, 2025
Web-based application
https://scidmore.art/ity.html

A browser-based work that randomly selects words ending in “-ity” and displays their dictionary definitions. Each word names an abstract condition, quality, or state, while the interface presents it with the authority of reference language. By cycling through terms such as “neutrality,” the piece turns the dictionary into a system for producing unstable conceptual prompts, where meaning appears fixed but remains dependent on context, interpretation, and use.
