The foundation of Giuliana Funkhouser’s MFA research project AfterMath is a  Max patch interpreting varying viewpoints of events unfolding around Puerto Rico's "storm of the century" through a 4-channel spatialized sound art installation. Randomized elements within this  computer program are based on numerical datasets detailing information  about Puerto Rico such as exit-traffic and mortality estimates following  the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. Synthesized drones modulated by  sonically interpreted data harmonize with and interrupt field recordings  from daily life on the island – including the song of the endemic frog coqí and conversations during a blackout at a restaurant. AfterMath is  an ode to those who have moved on or survived to tell the tale after  living through catastrophic events exacerbated by negligent disaster response.
