A beautiful hydroponic farm in the shape of a staircase for your plants to grow in your home with minimal effort.
The resurgence of hydroponic farming has provided us with a unique opportunity to rethink the world. No longer do we need to buy all of our groceries from a brand that ships them across the country. Instead, it can be localized. Hyper-localized, say, in your living room.... CONTINUE READING »
A clock that requires one's arm to be completed.
Numerical clocks often negate our subjective experience of time. Age, mood, activity and geography are amongst the many factors shaping our empirical relation to timekeeping. This project is part of a series of 3 clocks, each embodying a different realm of time: light, space and body.
The piece is... CONTINUE READING »
This project is to highlight the importance of people's connections. We emit a lot of noise in the world, but at at some point we make that connection with someone that drowns out the rest of it.
Connections is an multiuser interactive installation that uses a mobile web application as a collaboration tool. The system uses various nodes to accomplish this. The mobile application is the input method. A computer with a projector and arduino control the output. A server processes and syncs all communication between the... CONTINUE READING »
Without a computer or a microcontroller, time machine: inner landscape is interactively controlled by five-fifty-five timer chips and photo resistors which advances slide show imagery and amplified sounds via analog and digital sound circuitry.
The light and photocell sensor combination in this piece creates dynamical systems and feedback cycles, this is because the faster the slides go, based on the sensor interaction, the more likely it will become brighter and thus effect the relays, and this continues into very dynamic time results.
Ideally... CONTINUE READING »
Play area filling games based on your (and other people's) silhouette caption.
Player poses in front of a screen, game will capture their silhouette at every X secs. Attempt to fill up the entire screen using your body without overlapping with previous \"blocks\" (silhouettes). In case there is an overlap (above a percentage of tolerance), the game resets and players must restart... CONTINUE READING »
This wearable is influenced by a cyber punk aesthetic, a genre which exhibits many crude technology creations that are usually illustrated with a glowing light component. I am taking that aesthetic and marrying it with a more refined, couture style to create a fashion statement.
The physical representation of this concept is achieved by taking an accessory, in this case, the “power necklace” which represents the cyber punk influence through twisted metal, chains, and electrical glowing wire, and using its power to enhance a garment. The garment uses the power from the necklace to “light... CONTINUE READING »
A small structure that changes its flat surface as people walk next to it.
A structure that contains several stepper motors and as people walk next to it, changes its flat surface to create different shapes and patterns. ... CONTINUE READING »
I construct lines(on a plexi glass surface) and color combination on a flat surface, in order to express general beauty with the utmost awareness. Nature inspires me, and puts me, as with any digital media, in an emotional state so that I am urged to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that, until I reach the foundation (which is still just an external foundation!) of things
I will present this Mirror LED frame by hanging it from the ceiling. The image of the LED mirror inside of the frame will be created by audience’s participation, which will change colors in a real time. I will prepare copies of paintings and pictures that people can see and... CONTINUE READING »
Human muscle movements controlled by other humans via interactive device.
The underlying concept for the Human Puppets is fairly simple: taking the reading function of the EMG (electromyograph) and applying it to a write function. The medium being controlled: human muscle tissue. Thus anybody, who is interested of giving control over his body to another human being can be... CONTINUE READING »
Kite Song is a souped-up kite that provides airborne, dynamic music for people below.
A flying kite becomes a musical instrument that sends wind-generated audio, and wind data to the ground; the analog audio is then mixed with collection of selected (based on wind data) audio samples, to create a dynamic song. ... CONTINUE READING »
