lingo scripting, ubiquitous computing
Still in the prototyping phase, this interactive fish tank involves touch sensors and video projection. Users can interact with the virtual fish through touch sensors. The protype utilizes PBasic and Lingo with some animation created in Flash. I was brought onto the project to create the prototype application in Director, animate in Director, research viable technologies, build the circuit for the sensors, and program the microcontrollers.

interactive dance
concept, C/C++ programming, ubiquitous computing
"Catalyst 27" is the culmination of my masters thesis involving dance improv, game design, computer vision, sound synthesis, and algorithmic animation. The performance involves video tracking two dancers who repeatedly and successively cross a stage in front of a projection. The computer tracks their movement and projects a trail indicating their path of movement and synthesize sounds. The characteristics of each trail and sound is derived from movement analysis. I programmed the sound synthesis and animation. The custom computer vision software was programmed in collaboration with Evan Roth and Chris Sugrue.

interactive dance
concept, lingo scripting, ubiquitous computing, leather work, choreography
"Desire of You" was created as the major project for my first year of graduate studies. Two dancers are garbed in leather gear and connected to each other at the hands by a metal chain. Each dancer has sensors embedded into their leather gear. Sensors take in movement data which is transmitted wirelesslly to a base station. A program analyzes the data and creates sound. Three versions of the project were created with the second one presented at The Chelsea Art Museum. All versions utilized the same basic microcontroller programming in PBasic. The sound application first and second versions were scripted in Lingo, while the last version was programmed in C and C++.

interactive installation
concept, lingo scripting, ubiquitous computing
A stuffed toy is hung from the ceiling underneath a top down projection. An accelerometer embedded inside the detects the stuffed animals angle of tilt. When the toy is swung it laughs. At higher elevations the laughing is louder. As it reaches the low point in a swing the volume of laughing decreases. On the floor are projected a series of concentric rings. As the toy reaches a ring during is swinging path that specific ring becomes brighter then darkens when the toy leaves that ring.

interactive CD

concept, design, lingo programming, production, photography
I organized and conducted the collection of images, photographs, and the call for artwork to be shown on the online and interactive cd art galleries. I photographed most images, recorded and edited sound, scripted the interaction with Lingo, and created a two-spot color design for the cd.
