Medialab-Prado was nice enough to post this video of the 6th AVLAB meeting in Madrid Spain (on 11/18/2006) where they invited me to give a short hardware music performance using a table of microcontrollers speakers, sensors, motors, light bulbs, pipe cleaners, hair dryers, wired and a little insanity.

Fun stuff going on @ ITP at NYU

February 9th, 2010

“http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceball.gif”"The Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) is a two-year graduate program at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU that explores the creative use of technology. In 2007, IAC posed a question for ITP students: What can you do with New York City’s newest and largest blank canvas, a 120 by 12 foot video wall at IAC’s new world headquarters designed by Frank Gehry. Excited by the idea, we developed a one-semester course, Big Screens, to take up the challenge and provide students with this unique opportunity to experiment, play and wrestle with the demands of this new platform.” – from http://itp.nyu.edu/bigscreens2008/ where projects can be found with video documentation.

I haven’t updated this in so long. I guess I’ll give an update.

The Interactive Dollhouses are now at the Dallas Museum of Art in the Center for Creative Connections as of July 17th, 2009. Here is the museum’s article about the show: http://dallasmuseumofart.org/View/WhatsNew/index.htm

Today, I gave a demo at the C3 space on how I created the physical dollhouses.  The demo was part of an ongoing First Tuesday event held by the museum, and themes for this event vary by the month. This month’s theme was Home Sweet Home.  My demo was geared toward children, so I showed them how I made the dollhouses look the way they do. Electronic components were left out of this demo due to the very young age of the group.

I am continuing to develop the ideas that make this project what it is. I want to expand and make an entire town with several different types of sensing capabilities.  A recently expanded workspace has inspired me to go all out.

In addition to the dollhouses, I have also been working on custom cakes.  This is something I have been very passionate about getting into for a while, as I enjoy baking as much as I do art. Fusing the two together only seemed natural.  I will post pictures from my cake portfolio very soon.

Music has been going well. I picked up my guitar again about 2 months ago, and I have been playing every day. I’ve been playing a lot of 7/8 time signature on my accordion. I’m really into Romanian, Balkan, and Klezmer music, specifically the geamparle rhythms. Terrible accordion covers of popular songs are always on the agenda. That’s a given.

As far as making a living goes, I am working at a new restaurant. I love it very much, and I plan on staying for a while. I will be living in Denton for at least another year in order to gain some valuable work experience, as well as to save up some money so that I can do some traveling next summer.

Speaking of work…
