dotfiles

I’ve spent a good deal of time optimizing my computing experience by configuring the tools I use. My current development environment is based around:

  • neovim: Text editing.
  • ghostty: Terminal emulator.
  • tmux: Terminal multiplexing.
  • direnv: Environment & version management.
  • brew: Package management.
  • zsh: Shell.

The entire configuration is managed via Ansible and can be cloned from my repository.

git clone https://github.com/lucykowal/dotfiles.git $HOME/.dotfiles

Per the README, the setup can be bootstrapped with:

ansible-playbook up.yml

WATCHING FORMATIONS

Watching Formations is an adhoc title for a system artwork/installation I created for DXARTS 482 during my final quarter at UW. The work examines community and identity formation in the presence of surveillance systems. Several software tools were used to bring this project to life - TouchDesigner, StableDiffusion, Flask, and Markovify were of particular importance. The project’s source code can be found on GitHub.

A fine-tuned StableDiffusion model trained on Insecam screengrabs generates CCTV imagery based on bodies detected in the space.
