I’ve started to turn this site into a better showcase for my work, by adding dedicated pages for my audio, video and photography. There will be plenty of changes, so please check it out every once in a while.

My synth in concert, at No Fun Festival

My friend Nancy Garcia played an outstanding duet with Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth fame) at the No Fun Festival, on May 16th. I enjoyed the show, and was especially pleased because Nancy played one of my musical instruments, the Rhythmic Synth!

You can hear the synth very clearly in this song…

My master’s thesis project at ITP is complete, and on display at the ITP show this week. Check out the presentation on Vimeo!

Probe Swarm is an exploration of the ways in which intelligent behavior can be attributed to inanimate objects (or animals, or people) based on limited information.

My synth at Handmade Digital Music event

I had a chance to present, and play, my simple square-wave synth at the Handmade Digital Music event, a collaboration between Create Digital Music, Etsy Labs and Make magazine. Lots of interesting projects on show, and it was great to meet a community of like-minded individuals, all kinds of people coaxing the most unusual […]

NY Street Numbers

I photographed the numbered street signs from 1st to 86th Street, and made a simple video loop. I used it at the FUKT VJ gig at Club Asia on June 30th, 2007. I had a lot of fun bouncing the playback direction back and forth, and changing the playback rate. I will try to get […]

For my recent Tokyo trip and performance, I wanted to update it with footage from New York, and more interesting sounds (the original uses general MIDI piano sounds).

I […]

Flock of birds

Made with Processing.
Finally got around to posting video for this piece. Its been simmering on the back burner for a while. I hope to eventually swap in basic 3D models with texture mapping just to make their movement through the 3D space less faked.

Cyclorama theater

The cyclorama theater had its day in the sun!

The Narrative in the Round class had been tasked with building this, on the 9th floor of Tisch, and a team lead by Caleb Carr got it set up. However, the rear projection setup meant that there was some strange distortion on the top edge […]

Physical Computing final project finished!

I have finished my final project for the Physical Computing class!

To recap, it is a cluster of four lamps made with multicolor LEDs, each containing a bunch of sensors, a microcontroller and a Zigbee (802.14) radio. Gestures in front of any of the lamps are transmitted to all the lamps, and this changes the […]
