About

I’m an and resident researcher at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU and the author of Making Things See: 3D vision with Kinect, Processing, Arduino, and MakerBot now available from O’Reilly. I’m interested in the use of special effects as an artistic medium. I’m fascinated by how special effects techniques cross the boundary between images and the physical objects that make them: miniatures, motion capture, 3D animation, animatronics, and digital fabrication.

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.
