Description

One Amongst Many is a data installation comprised of 16-20 illuminated orbs suspended from the ceiling. As users investigate the orbs, they'll see information about an underrepresented woman in computing. As a woman is being read about, other women in her cohort will illuminate different colors to guide the user through the space.

interactive scroll

Gil Sperling

an interactive installation that allows the user to physically interact with a projected version of an ancient scroll

http://www.gilsperling.com/interactive-scroll/

Description

The user interfacing object is a blank scroll that can be rolled using rods at the sides. The scroll is placed on a clear acrylic surface, such as acrylic. Text is projected from under the scroll, in Hebrew – from ancient bible manuscripts. As the user rolls the rods, the scroll advances, and the projected text moves with it. This works in reverse as well, using the other rod. There is a magnifier next to the table. When it is placed on the paper, a translation of the text into English appears in the frame. Additional layers of content include a progress bar indicating the current position in the scroll and some background information on the texts and their sources.

Description

For my final project, I am adding a twist to the traditional way of playing trivia. Instead of pressing buttons to select an answer choice, players need to shoot basketballs into a hoop that corresponds to their answer (4 hoops, 4 answer choices). The dimensions of the project are 8 ft (Height), 8 ft (Depth), 6 ft (Width). I will be using a white canvas with a projector to display the interface and display the questions.

A man stands behind a sonified web. Is he playing? Or is he trapped?

Description

A performance and sound installation. The installation is a large “web” of latex tubing stretched between two frames. As the strings of the web are plucked, stretched, or pulled, they give rise to sounds ranging from the pleasant to the unbearable.

A disbanded warrior relives the motions of battle for the last time.

Description

A musical performance exploring the narrative of a warrior who has been washed out by the tides of war. In his journey he attempts to shake the images of the past. In order to move on, he must conquer his battle ridden mind. The pounding of nerves, terrors in the night, and broken sound resonates through hand made instruments and mechanical inputs.
