A multimedia monument to birth of the Internet.

A multimedia sculpture that tells the story of the first internet transmission between UCLA and Stanford on October 29, 1969, dramatizing especially the interaction between the counterculture and the military industrial complex that was key to the formation of our contemporary technoculture. Two half-cube miniature scenes with projection and electronic...CONTINUE READING »

Four characters are mapped to each of the four windows in the main lounge. Their main goal is to get live audience members to join their dance party, but if you disappoint them and don\’t show much excitement, they grow bored, stop dancing, check their cell phones and generally look around for something else to do.

Project lead: Sarah Dahnke

This project will look like an automated teller machine, and will offer passersby money at somewhat regular intervals, sometimes requiring an action from the user to receive the payout, such as dancing for thirty seconds. The project will then upload video and images of the user to a public website, and notify the user that they're online after they've accepted the money.

To explore the relationship between incentives and online publicity, this project will distribute something desirable, dollar bills, at somewhat regular intervals, approximately once a day. The piece will sense and record the user\'s approach, as well as images of the user taking the desirable object, and any actions the...CONTINUE READING »

Whether a pedestrian or cyclist, we need to be seen by motorists–but most of us don’t have time to change when we’re on the go.

We Flashy is a new line of reflective clothing built for the fashion-forward scene. We are inspired by clean, modern designs, and add customized reflective elements to make you stand out. And since our clothing’s reflective material responds to direct light, it’s great for use on busy streets–but barely noticed in normal indoor environments.

My most precious possession when I was a child was a music box. I would love turning the handle and watching the mechanisms turn around and around. The Rowing Rats Music Box is an attempt to make a music box of my own.

I knew from the start...CONTINUE READING »
