My interactive laser project, Contours, was featured as an installation outside the concert hall at Everybody Wants Everything, the 2009 MAT End-of-year show. The installation consisted of both laser and traditional video projection driven by a webcam. In addition to the live laser outline the system also periodically sampled and accumulated outlines to display history [...]

In addition to the reel of generative colloquium intros I also showed an excerpt from an audio-visual collaboration with Aaron McLeran entitled “Pulse.” The video comes from the results of [...]
Keep Reading »I presented two sets of six prints at Everybody Wants Everything, the 2009 End-of-year show for MAT. The first set is exploring additive complexity. The images were constructed by layering hundreds of faint lines that add up to create the final image. They look fairly homogeneous from afar and it is only when you look [...]
Keep Reading »The laser project is coming together in time for the MAT End-of-year show on Monday. I have dubbed it ‘contours‘ and it will be featured on the first floor of Elings hall during the show. I am now working on the projected view that will accompany the laser. My goal is to show change over [...]
Keep Reading »For Fundamentals of Spatial Computing I explored recursive and generative architecture in a general sense. Rather than designing buildings I was concerned with generative 3D structural forms built only out of cubes aligned to a grid. I wanted to create a system that would be simple to use but be capable of creating a wide [...]
Keep Reading »I have connected the computer vision / blob tracking software to the laser so now with proper lighting conditions the laser will draw your outline as you dance around in front of it. It works best if the wall is a solid color and brightly lit so the thresholding operation can pick up your outline. [...]
