Seagull Flyer 2006, Video Game You are a sea gull catching french fries, randomly thrown in to the sky by beach patrons.
Sonic Pants 2006, Interactive Clothing Old beat up pants with a constellation of pitch-altering stars sewn on with conductive thread. When wired patches are rubbed on the pitch-altering stars, electronic circuits are completed. While rubbing the wired patches to the pitch-alteing stars, the strength of the circuit changes, causing a change in the pitch (or volume, or other effect). I made this at the Scrapyard Challenge in LA at Machine Project.
Dots 2006, Interactive Animation An animation connected to a light sensor. The colors and sound change depending on the amount of light hitting the sensor. I animated and programmed this in Flash. I used Veronica De Jesus's Dino Wrangler drawings and video footage from John O'Malley. John also built an awesome console that housed this project. He's a great artist and architect!
Taxi 2006, Animation A very short animation of a drive through San Francisco.
City Soundscape 2006, Flash Interactive I made this Flash project as a "mock-up" for the development of the Exploratorium's Soundscape Constructor which was built by Chach Sikes and originally conceived by Dia Felix. The idea is to experiment with how different sounds make up a soundscape.
San Francisco History 2005, Animated Slideshow I mined the SF Public Library photo archives for old pictures of the city for this piece, which was shown at a Sound Shack event in the Mission District. I was especially interested in gathering pictures that touch on wealth distribution: The Palace Hotel, Gold Miners, Prostitutes, the General Strikes.
Grass-Growing Time 2004, Digital Clock I programmed this clock with Processing. You can tell what time it is by the length of the grass and the color of the background. I did this with much help from my teacher, Krister Olsson.
Hair Stylin' Salon 2004, Drawing Program Get your hair did in this little drawing program I made with Processing. I did this with much help from my teacher, Krister Olsson.
