This project exposes two uncomfortable realities: the ongoing legacy of racial segregation in South Florida, and the existential threat that climate change poses to communities in Miami.
The large exhibited map created for this “Time Space Existence – Miami 2021” exhibition collapses these two realities into one:
present day household income levels at the scale of buildings colored red, overlaid with future sea level rise and upland flood projections indicated in blue .
The project proposes models of co-ops and community owned urban blocks empowering the formerly disenfranchised community with new methods of equity capture.

This project “REBOOT” presents original research into upcycling and plastics.
The research was shown to Ai WeiWei back in 2008 when he asked Bill to include in his 10×10 Phaidon book.
After review of the work his reaction to the content on upcycling was to change the title from REBOT to REBOOT.
Thirteen years later the inclusion of an additional “O” reveals its virility in an almost prophetic way.

In this exhibition, are presented three ongoing and interdisciplinary research projects that combine computational neuroscience workflows with design processes to understand how environmental parameters influence our attention and emotions.
These projects utilize biometric sensors, such as eye-gaze tracking, integrated with spatial computing tools, such as Virtual Reality headsets, along with other spatial capturing technologies, to create interactive and immersive simulation and analysis environments.
