Provence

I fell in love in Provence.
Not with some dashing Frenchman… I fell in love with Provence itself.
I live a wired life: I am always working at not one, but two computers, swicthing between monitors to multitask, or listen to music, or instant message. (These are all open on one screen anyway, the two just allow […]



Ballerina Remix

16 July 2009 | 12:34 | press releases, VideoSculpture | No Comments

I developed this project with Xue Hou last December, and recently modified it to work inside the Sound and Light Lab at the New York Hall of Science where it will be on display through October 2009.
I’m planning on posting some video soon, and have thoughts for expanding this project into a much larger public […]



Thesis: Paranoia

16 July 2009 | 12:17 | thesis | 1 Comment

Emotional Perception in the Interactive Cinematic Experience.
Wait, I’ll explain:
I’m interested in telling stories, communication, sharing… But as someone who  has worked as both a performer and producer, I have always believed that how you say something is as important as what you say.
Which is what ignited my interest in the area of interactive storytelling: How […]



Alter Ego

It’s been a while since I wrote here.
Too long, in fact. And for those of you who periodically check in, my apologies. January to May was madness; were it not for the fact that work so often feels like play, my life would have been all work and no play. I was working on my […]



Mobile Postcard Wall, phase 1

19 February 2009 | 10:01 | mobileMedia | No Comments

The first phase of the mobile postcard wall of identity and hope is online now. To see it in a new window please click here.
My goal was to expand on the “live/physical” version of this installation and make it accessible to a wider, more dispersed or remote audience. As it stands now, there are three […]



concept: collective storytelling using mobile cameras & php

6 February 2009 | 12:16 | mobileMedia | No Comments

The brief for this first assignment in mobile(Me)dia is to come up with a concept/interface for a possible use of mobile phones and data collection.
As it happens, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I have a show of work called “Identity” on exhibit right now, and one of the installations in this exhibit is […]



Paranoia, a public interactive scene

10 December 2008 | 12:36 | VideoSculpture | No Comments

Paranoia is being developed for the ITP Winter Show. It is a “public interactive scene” in that it is a cinematic moment that responds to your presence in a way that is synchronous with real world behavior, in a way, inviting you into the scene and that cinematic world, and breaking the classical fourth wall […]



Interactive Narrative: Autonomous “Editing” & democratic story experience

10 December 2008 | 12:25 | Narrative Lab | No Comments

As part of a semester long project for Narrative Lab, with Douglas Rushkoff, Hulya Aktun and I have been developing a theory and format for experiential interactive narrative.
The evolution of this project took many formats - we started with  a few ideas based on our cumulative past work and projects, as well as research of […]



database stories

10 December 2008 | 11:25 | Interactive Screens & Cinematic Objects | No Comments

The brief for this project was to make a database that tells a cinematic story.
“How we access it is up to you – it can be computer-based, or real-world based, or a mix. The content and form should be working together to covey your concept. Why random access? What advantages can this have for your […]
