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.

[IN]ACCESSIBLE VOICES

The VIBE Network is an initiative created to make the voices of visually impaired musicians accessible. The project explored challenges and opportunities to create a platform that normalizes accessibility in technology, music and social spaces. The logo features the name of the initiative. The abstracted nodes within network graph spell "network" in Braille.

SOUP'S ON

Starbucks was the subject of a half-day challenge for our group, whose other members included Francesco Falchi, Christian Sjostrand and Linnea Lindstrom. If Starbucks were to introduce a new soup to nuts menu, how would you appeal to urban (in traditional sense), affluent, career women on the run?

SPLITTING IMAGE

The aim was to use symmetry to create faces using surrounding elements. The following images were created with the spotlights, hair, clothes and shoes.

generating faces

EYES EARS NOSE MOUTH

The following images were created by using software that selects and randomizes elements of the face. For these images, I wanted to experiment with similar shapes that we weren't accustomed to associating with the face. What resulted were cartoon-style images that liked to multiply.

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.
