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.

brooklyn aids task force

BATF

For fun, I revisited a previous project and redesigned an identity for the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force. The logo recalls the map of Brooklyn, highlighting Flatbush Avenue and the organization's central location. In addition, enclosed is an annual report for which it was important to correlate the strength and vulnerability within the human body with the strength and the vulnerablity in the local community.

BEYOND THE FACADE — HIDE AND PEEK

This project looks to reposition a mall as a beacon of activity for a city center and attract visitors from afar with a limited site-line.

THE ARTVERTISER

IMAL, Brussels hosted The Artvertiser, a workshop led by Damian Stewart and Julian Oliver. The aim of the The Artvertiser, is to replace street ads with art using their custom Billboard Intercept Units. I used Processing to create my project, Pixiliate, a composition of pixels whose colors are derived from the ad. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the result of the process due to a few demonstrations and heightened police activity.

Animations soon to follow…

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.

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.
