I’m an artist and grad student in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU. I’m interested in translucent things, squishy robots, bad special effects, machine art, the history of computing and miniature everything.
Here are some recent ITP projects:
- LO: October 29, 1969. A multimedia sculpture commemorating the birth of the internet.
- A stop motion video for the song Ambulance by TV On The Radio, in collaboration with Calli Higgins.
- An electro-mechanical game based on the Running of the Bulls with Scott Wayne Indiana.
- Face Fight: a collaborative drawing machine that allows two players to physically wrestle over control of a line in order to create a single drawing of both of their faces.
- InfoneSMS, a tool for rapid surveying of local conditions by text message with incentives for participation, designed for UNICEF.
I also have an ongoing academic research project in the history of computing with Jeremiah Axelrod under the banner Computer Science Fictions. The most public expression of that project so far was a talk we gave at the 2009 Pacific Ancient and Modern Languages Association Conference, Free As In Beer: Cybernetic Science Fictions.
In the past I’ve worked extensively as a Ruby on Rails programmer, played in Portland, Oregon indie rock band At Dusk, and founded a local all-ages annual music festival and non-profit, PDX Pop Now.
