For fun, I revisited this project to create a new identity for the American Composers Orchestra and its member programs.

PUZZLING ARG

During the Hyper Island Final Project, our group, The United Kingdoms of the North, worked on creating rules for a soon-to-be-released ARG. We worked on in-browser interface, facebook integration, narrative video and puzzle concepts.

COLOR COMPLEX

Who knew my first game concept was a good one? Entered on a whim and managed to be one of two contestants with no previous game experience who made it to the semis. (The other being Rudhraigh McGrath, a fellow Hyper.) Color Complex, a game based on color theory, is still being improved and may one day become a real game.

LIGHT FUN

When something shines,
What comes to mind?

With respect to time,
What thoughts do you find?

Think of day, think of night,
Think of heat, think of light.

Think of on, think of off,
Think of hard, think of soft.

Think of dark[ness], think of sheen,
Think of white, think of green.

Think of cold, think of warm,
Think of shape, think of form.

Within are the graphics created and a selection of photos taken for a motion piece submitted to the 2011 Prix ARS Electronica [THE NEXT IDEA] competition.

MIRROR MIRROR

As I am wont to experiment with abstraction, I used the wave formula to propagate various effects while engaging the webcam as a mirror. As far as interaction is concerned, it probably wasn't the best thing to do; it would be hard for anyone who used the mirror to detect how they were effecting it. But, it was fun. However, for one of my non-abstracted mirrors, I did manage to create an RGB mirror that "prints" CMYK. The further away one moves from the webcam, the mirror's color gamut changes from RGB to CMYK.
