Tina Tarighian: Art

This immersive digital experience complements the performer's physical presence, creating a seamless bridge between the digital and physical realms of artistic expression.

This project creates a direct connection between fashion consumption and its environmental impact by transporting viewers to various locations affected by overconsumption, including manufacturing sites, waste dumps, and natural areas under threat.

Created for the Rusty Utopia group show by Artists Quarters, this piece examines our cultural obsession with true crime content by algorithmically remixing it into an unsettling, never-ending stream.

This project explores digital communication, chance, and the value we place on having our voices heard. The campaign spread through social media with viral videos explaining the concept:

• Interviewing People in WSP
• Marketing Video for the Tool

New entries continue to arrive daily, with participants hoping to be the rare voice that breaks through.

To manifest my dream job, I spent nearly an hour each morning listening to three back-to-back videos. Patience isn't my virtue, so why not binge all these good vibes at once? That curiosity plunged me into YouTube's manifestation rabbit hole, where you can manifest anything. Forget just the dream job—how about changing your eye color, winning the lottery, or nailing a backflip? The possibilities are endless, with countless frequencies and soothing voices guiding the way.

Use this tool as a menu, pick out everything you want to manifest and listen to the cacophony of your every desire.

It's an immersive viewing experience that dynamically switches between different real-time live streams worldwide while physically encapsulating you in the soft-sculpture. The portals transition between remote sea cameras, zoo animals, random backyards, ASMR, porn cams, MIT's cafeteria, bomb watches in Gaza, UN meetings, mukbang channels, urban city streets, game shows, stock watches, and so SO much more. It also featured a security camera watching the viewer from a location within the gallery.

This project highlights both the interconnectedness of our digital-age existence and the pervasive nature of modern surveillance. You are the observer and the observed. Thanks so much @tench.nology for getting me involved. It was such an honor and the show was fabulous ☺️❤️🙏

I went through hundreds of listings of second hand mirrors, ran the images through an image expander, and these are some of the haunted favs. Silly little thing.

I'd wear this if I was invited to a funeral for a musician. Or maybe if I was a server at a bar with live jazz, and had to help the guitarist tune up (swanky style). Anyway, I broke it...

I'm not exactly sure why. The humorous side of me likes to think it is because it is too easily accessible, and most people do not deserve my awesome selfies. This led to "Engage with Me," a series of steps you must complete before being deemed worthy enough for an old picture of me.

With Google Analytics, I was able to see whether or not people were enjoying their time at tina.zone.

This project was presented at New York Fashion Week 2024, using augmented reality to highlight issues in the fashion industry.

This project explores the concept of truth and proximity, using geolocation to alter the user's experience based on their physical distance from where the content was created.

This is an experiment with dialogue and animation. Current fixes needed: the speech is off. I realized you cannot have text to speech for two popups going at the same time, so I tried to improvise with some inputted audio files.

This was a cutesy project I put together in a night.

I notoriously make websites and art projects for the people in my life, so this was a fun challenge. This is my first Node.js application! After uploading a photo, users generate a link to their custom shrines, with buttons allowing you to worship them harder and harder. This custom link is sharable with other people, so they can worship you as well.

It is a great demo of placing 3D assets into the real world.

I made a 3D model of one of En Route's best-selling necklaces and got some early pics using meta spark for a real-world world object placement. It's always good for me to have some basic 3D modeling in my freelance practice.

If you want to try this experience, make sure popups and camera are turned on.

Urging them to remember that the love they've put out into the universe exists inside them.

I was invited to participate, and in addition to some live-coding visuals I did for the performance, I also had this simple html/js animation.

I still use this if I'm unsure.

Instead of having so much text on my projects page, I decided to record casual videos of myself discussing each one.

With Google Analytics, I was able to see whether or not people were enjoying their time at tina.zone.

I noticed that because of how convenient it has become to order things online, we are consuming much more than we need to. My simple solution to this is a chrome extension I aptly named "Stop Buying Things." By detecting that you are on a shopping cart page, the pop-up turns your browser window red for a few seconds, then reminds you of its simple creed: STOP BUYING THINGS! In the few seconds where your browser is totally red, it will allow you to take a deep breath before truly considering if you need to buy anything.

Its purpose is to help students improve their additional skills by encouraging them to get multiple answers in a row. Users answer the displayed arithmetic question, which increases in difficulty every level. Users submit their answer by pressing the submit button, or pressing the enter key on their keyboard. If the user answers correctly, a new problem will be randomly generated.

The number of currently consecutive answers is stored, and it is displayed under "Current Streak" on the webpage. The user's highest streak for the session is also displayed, which is reset when the page is refreshed/a new session starts.

For every correctly answered question, the screen displays "Correct! Great Job!" with an accompanying image of the original avatar, Mathy the Adventure Cat, randomly displaying 1 of 3 positive emotions. Every 10 correct consecutive answers is rewarded with unlocking a new background.

When users enter incorrectly, the current streak is reset to 0, and the question will not change until it is answered correctly. Mathy the Adventure Cat is displayed as having a pensive, thinking face.

When users need help, they can press the help button in the top right of the div container. This alerts the user of some ways to help them solve the problem.

For users who have sight impairments or struggle with dyscalculia, there is a speech-to-text toggle button displayed under the current level.

The entire project was done in JavaScript, WebGL, and Three.js. Click the link to see how you can interact with the environment using your keyboard.
