A biodata composition generated in real time.
A heart rate monitor connects to each musician and the serial data feeds into Max/MSP, signaling the chair light interface which acts as the composition for each musician to play.

Blend faces in a mirror at random.
The faces that are detected get switched randomly. The closer one gets to the person with whom his/her face for switched, the more prominent the blend is. This is kind of a literal play on how one starts to behave like another person when the get close.

A Study of Sacred Geometry and Kinetic, Architectural Landscapes.

[GL]: Geo Luminosity is a study of sacred geometry, light and layered space. In the form of four shadowboxes, the focus is to transform a space and through a user controlled interaction through the illumination of negative space. Internal gear systems allow users to alter patterns of light, through kinetic movement. Created with digitally fabricated designs and 3D rendering, ‘[GL]’ utilizes traditional, manual fabrication, the CNC router and the laser cutter to create layers of space and light.

A lamp that lets you know when someone is coming home.

If your home could sense the physical proximity of those who live in it, how would it communicate this knowledge? Through which form would this knowledge be best represented in a way that is natural and enjoyable?
Light changes space more than anything. Light fills the space and its presence or lack thereof is impossible to ignore. The only thing that changes space as much is people. People and light complete a space in ways nothing else can.
Igloo is a lamp that connects to one or more persons' phone GPS and represents their proximity as light.

Create an interactive animatronic that reflects the interaction between the humans and the machines.
http://www.dimelsamedina.com/ITPBlog/project-development-studio-mechanical-puppet/
I have always been captivated by the conversion of motion and power that takes place within a machine and the way all the autonomous mechanisms form a whole and work together. By using a Kinect, a webcam, and a series of motors, I would like to give “life” to a puppet, and study the interaction of the audience/user with this object.

"Wild Growth" is a generative portrait drawing artwork that allows people stand in front of web-camera and see their artistic portraits form as growth of natural plants.
http://www.liuchangitp.com/icm_pixel-project/
This is a playful interactive project which is an interactive processing that generating a drawing by analyzing live video. My inspiration is jackson pollock. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. In term of technological part, I use Processing as my tool. I combined two parts which are camera analyzing system and visual part(particles system). All the colors is be picked by live camera “eye”. That means what it sees, and what it draws. It reminds me to take my computer go to natural environment, or face to a picture or a video, or put in front of a viewer as if draw a quick portrait paint. Therefore, I take it to somewhere and get those random screen still pictures.

DrawMidi systematically visualizes notes played on a MIDI keyboard into an abstract, glitch-like piece of artwork which can later be musically analyzed based on pitch and dynamic range.
http://www.yurikamulase.com/icm-final-project-drawmidi/
DrawMidi maps pitch and velocity data from the MIDI keyboard onto a canvas made in Processing. Each note played is connected by a line that is color-coded based on pitch. The pitch determines where the line will be placed horizontally, and the velocity will change the height and thickness of the line. The user will have the choice of clearing the background in black or white, and saving the resulting picture in a folder within the Processing sketch. DrawMidi serves as a fun drawing program for those with non-musical backgrounds, and as a music analysis and visualization performance program for those with musical backgrounds.

MANTIS is a real-time, physiological mirror through which a user may experience and explore his or her own heart/breath relationship with sound.
http://articulatedworks.com/mantis/
Some methods frame meditation and awareness as an exercises to “get better at this” or “stop doing that”. Often, these are incentive based performance strategies that shift the spirit of engagement from personal curiosity, acknowledgment, and acceptance to a more goal-oriented or even wealth oriented end goal, promising “better” behavioral or materialistic states. As a result, these strategies can create conceptual walls to real discovery and change; we are too busy worrying about what we “should” be doing in the moment instead of actually experiencing the subtlety of the moment. Examples of this phenomenon manifest most notoriously in performance related fields like sports, music, or even medicine, when performers report that they are “in the zone” but fall “out of the zone” as soon as they are aware of being “in” it… the paradox of momentary awareness.
With the MANTIS, I employ pulse and breath sensing technology to generate correlated audio, to offer users the chance to explore a simple environment built from their own physiology and experience first hand the micro changes and corresponding conscious shifts that occur during breathing cycles. The user is seated in front of a large screen which displays concentric circles which represent their own breath and heart rate. The user then inserts one finger into a pulse reader and a breath sensor attached to microphone boom-stand is placed in front of their face approximately 5-10 inches. They are given a brief description of what to do and then given headphones. The sounds they hear are real-time sonic representations of their autonomic nervous system. The experience begins immediately and can last from 15sec – 5 min or more.

"Chasing Double Rainbows" visualizes the ephemeral phenomena known as double rainbows by mapping geo-tagged photographs posted to Instagram in the previous 24 hours (chasingdoublerainbows.com) .

Chasing Double Rainbows (www.chasingdoublerainbows.com) visualizes the ephemeral phenomena known as double rainbows by mapping geo-tagged photographs posted to Instagram in the previous 24 hours. The visualization connects users who witnessed a double rainbow closest in time to each other by drawing a rainbow arc between each sequential sighting.
The visualization was inspired by a YouTube video by Paul “Bear” Vasquez whose effervescent euphoria for double rainbows captured the world. Today, Paul's video has over 40 million views. Chasing Double Rainbows is neither a scientific, nor serious visualization, but a facetious data art project celebrating the universal fascination created by the sighting of a double rainbow.
Instagram has over 350,000 public photographs tagged #doublerainbow. In a given 24-hour period, depending on rainy weather conditions world-wide and luck, Chasing Double Rainbows visualizes anywhere between 30 – 300 geo-tagged photographs.
A double rainbow is an optical illusion in which two rainbows are seen. The illusion is created by the reflection of two rainbows in a rain droplet.
A physical map visualizes real time data and was made using plexiglass, wood and cardboard. The continent where the most recent double rainbow was sighted is lit using neopixel leds.
The online visualization was built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, D3.js, Instagram API, and the Google Geocoding API.
