Custom programmed game, Display Showdown, with interactive rear projected screen and lights using Open Frame Works
and serial output to custom light contol circuits. In addition to the game screen are 2 custom designed and fabricated
side tables for each team from steel and finished wood as well as a podium with call buttons and lights.
4 custom programmed, circuitry and fabrication of panels and stands of Googles +1 kiosks.
Standing 5ft high and 3ft wide, the user may press the +1 button to increment the counter by 1.
Diagnostic and data-logging device for UNICEF
in collaboration with Ground LabThe project aimed to create an open portable networked device to collect accurate high volume data
from the field in real time to be used in health facilities in Uganda. The device guides the health
care worker, often a volunteer with limited medical training, through a series of questions and computes
a medical diagnosis based on the data entered. The diagnosis is then transmitted instantaneosly via SMS
to centralized databases as well as the local Ministry of Health. In 2009 we traveled to Kampala to field
test the device in multiple health clinics, to assess the overall feasibility of the project and source
local suppliers and manufacturing facilities to investigate the long-term sustainability of the project.
Materials: Microcontroller, SIM card, speaker, embedded MP3 player, LCD screen, USB keyboard, antennas,
rechargeable batteries, GSM/GPRS/GPS module.
inDoor Energy Harvesting
The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a low cost, low profile mechanism that converts rotational kinetic energy from opening and
closing a door to usable electricity. It contains a circuit to store this electricity, measure what is produced and dynamically
graph and monitor its progress from a website. The stored electricity can then be used for any of the buildings off grid needs,
such as emergency sign-age, cameras or lighting. The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a part of the unconscious power plant project,
which seeks to bring awareness to the potential for energy generation and usage as a part of daily routine. If we start looking
at doors as a source to contribute a small slice of the energy we consume everyday, then eventually the rest of our actions and
environment becomes possible too.
Data-Logging for SMIT, Sustainable Minded Interavtice Technology
custom networked circuits and visualization for hybrid wind/solar systems including energy collected, temperature, light intensity, wind speed.
Talking Light
Talking Light is currently installed on a building on Aspen Colorado that controls the extrerior lighting when someone appraoches.
Built with a fully programable mp3 player, the sensor triggers 1 or 83 random tracks that are head around the buidling when dark as
well as modulating all of the high power flood bulds. This fully customizable box can control any lighting with any sound dynamically,
such as playing tracks backwards or recording sounds based on sensor input. The Talking Light may also be used in cars or other mobile
applications.
Conte Crepusculaire: Robotic Dragon Flies for David Altmed's 'Conte Crepusculaire', Montreal
60 mechanical flies in 3 different sizes controlled from a central box, plexiglass, wire, motors and controllable power supply
"Conte Crepusculaire" — loosely translated, "A Twilight Tale" — is the latest offering from Montreal artist David Altmejd. Conceived in tandem
with Montreal singer-songwriter Pierre Lapointe, "Conte Crepusculaire" was presented as an operatic tableau vivant, a theatrically vibrant realization
of Altmejd's hypnagogic work. Executed by a production team including composer Yannick Plamondon and Montreal string quartet Quatro Molinari,
the scored fairytale played to a sold-out audience for four nights at Montreal's Galerie de l'UQAM.
Splat, Custom large aluminum panels with video mount.
Designed and fabricated aluminum panels for Tony Oursler's "Splat" installation. These panels consist of a 3/8" aluminum plate which has been CNCed
to match the specific drawing dimensions. A custom aluminum welded hanging system is implemented on the back to support the structure and hold the
electronics. The piece has a high gloss powder coat finish.
Materials: 3/8" aluminum, CNC machining, welded mounting hardware, poweder coating.
