Dongle Synth 2.0 Tiri Kananuruk & Sebastián Morales 2020 by Sebastian Morales

As part of the show “Artists’ Tools” curated by SpecialSpecial, Tiri and I developed the Dongle Synth 2.0. It is a fully functional USB Hub enhanced with a special USB Port that will transform keystrokes form a keyboard into musical notes that can be looped and turned into wild beats.


The Dongle Synth 2.0 is will be on display at the SpecialSpecial gallery though May, although things are uncertain due to these “troubling times”.

Recreating the past Vera Molnar- Zach Lieberman by Sebastian Morales

Over at SFPC, I got to sit-in in Zach’s class Recreating the Past, the fist week he talked about Vera Molnar which I found it amazing that I didn’t knew her, although I knew some of her works.

The homework consisted in recreating one of her pieces. I chose to focus on her work Lettres de ma Mere.

Here is one of the originals (they are a series)
