A vector graphic, living inside the shell of a computer operating system, envies the life of ceiling light hanging above it.

On December 3rd, 2010, my hard drive suffered a permanent failure. In its post-mortem state, it attempted to re-create my creative output from the last 6 months, which I did not have backed up anywhere else. This is the result.

25 people were asked to sit down and read a document, with little to no direction.

Ready? OK.

INVERTA: A Sensory Matrix Platform actuated by two users to experience themselves through each others’ tactile sense.

This “spoof” concept video was created for an assignment asking us to come up with a “fantasy device”. I don’t really dream of gadgets too often, in fact I often think about how we can make technology less about toys and substitutes, and more about platforms for expanding our physical senses.

Guiding ideas:
-Technology that you cannot use in isolation
-A device that does not substitute for sensory experience but instead amplifies + manipulates it.
