ars electronica (next idea 2011)

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.

UNDERLYING PULSE

This project is an exploration into media architecture using a mock-up of the Santralistanbul Energy Museum. This mapping project goes beyond the surface to explore the volume within demonstrating that cities, buildings and their surrounding infrastructure are not lifeless entities, but living bodies whose pulse is driven by their inhabitants.

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.

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?

MUSIC TO MY EARS

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

WITH WAITED BREATH

It was my first week in Stockholm. By the end if it, I couldn't walk or eat and, I could barely breath. But, I could still write. This four minute speech recounted my near 12-hour lay-over in Copenhagen that had yet to release it's painful hold on me.
