Smog is Democratic
'Smog is Democratic' is a digital media installation produced in collaboration with Jonathan Lukens that explores particulate matter through the medium of visualization. The visualizations in the installation are not meant to be scientific, but rather interpretive and expressive, with the goal of considering how the sources and measurements of particulate matter might be rendered in order to generate reflection and discussion.

'Smog Is Democratic' is included as part of the exhibition Consequential Matters at the Global Health Odyssey Museum at the Centers for Disease Control. The exhibition runs from June 15th thru September 11th
