SimuLaw is a Processing based simulation of the impact that law has on individuals. It uses agent-based modeling techniques to simulate the behavior pedestrians may display at a crosswalk with large amounts of traffic.
Agent-based modeling is a computer science / social science tool for modeling the behavior of individuals, vehicles and any other autonomous entity that reacts to its environment. SimuLaw is an integration of Processing with the agent-based modeling tool RePast Simphony as s simple demonstration of the ways laws and law... CONTINUE READING »
George is your art companion. Part mobile and web application, George remembers what you found interesting at an art museum. Using the photos you take in gallery, George seeds your journey through the museum.
How can we make paintings more engaging? What are the underlying stories between paintings that link them together? George was designed to address these questions. George is a combination mobile and web application for use in art museum environments. The mobile component is designed to capitalize on the initial... CONTINUE READING »
Enhanced Visualization (EV) Therapy is a technologically mediated mind-body therapy founded on traditional healing practices and immersive interactive technologies.
EV Therapy is an integration of therapeutic massage, augmented reality, interactive video projections, and realtime visual feedback from an out-of-body perspective. Treatments involve the use of video goggles, which provide both client and therapist with a live view of the healing session from a single overhead perspective. Throughout... CONTINUE READING »
“Choose one” is an interactive installation that tells stories by responding to audience choices in unexpected ways.
“Choose One” is an interactive story installation that requires participating audience to make decisions about how to interact and to consider the impact of their decisions on the resulting story. By moving a weight to tip a balance board in one direction or another, participants cause light-projected objects on the... CONTINUE READING »
While trying to make practice instruments to become a better musician, I discovered even though there are relationships between classical Javanese Gamelan structures and present-day computer algorithms, not everyone welcomes new technologies to the world of non-Western music.
This project began with the aim of developing a set of portable and mobile tools for learning, recording and performing Javanese Gamelan music. A classical Javanese gamelan orchestra is comprised of several heavy metallophones, large inverted pots and large gongs. Musicians can specialize with specific instruments, but often must rehearse...

Found Letters is a historical novel-in-verse and interactive installation that translates history into fiction, immersing readers in a genealogist’s journey through the objects, documents, and letters she uses to reconstruct her family story.
Found Letters begins on the print and digital page and finishes as an environmental installation: An abandoned nineteenth-century farmhouse, transported from western Kansas and installed in a New York City gallery. Pristine furniture situated amidst the physical decay becomes a sequence of waypoints along a journey through the Paul family’s... CONTINUE READING »
A kinetic sculpture in which the movement of a pendulum clock powers the growth of a mechanical tree. This project bridges man-made and natural methods of time-keeping.
Time Immemorial is a kinetic sculpture inspired by Jean Robert-Houdin\'s Marvelous Orange Tree illusion and the automata of German clock makers. A mechanical tree sculpture slowly emerges and then recedes, powered by the periodic motion of a pendulum clock. The synchronized movement forges a connection between natural and artificial...

A computer’s pixelated collection: exploring the vertiginous implications and potential beauty of collecting in the digital realm.
A collection can be defined as the gathering, organizing and displaying of items - three verbs one could easily use to describe a computer’s modus operandi. \"Collectio ex machine\" was inspired by the parallels between the human impulse to collect and computational data collection. The subject of this screen-based artwork... CONTINUE READING »
Real time scientific data acquisition, visualization, and sonification for makers, artists, citizen scientists, and other curious types via an exploration of space from Earth.
Listening to the Sun is an experiment in making hands-on science accessible to curious types through affordable DIY technologies. By repurposing easily found and/or discarded consumer electronics, it is possible to create tools that enable the exploration of our atmosphere and outer space without leaving Earth. Coupling these tools with... CONTINUE READING »
