Human Drum Machine
The human drum machine was an experiment in collaborative music making controllers. With an array of 20 home made pressure sensing tiles, samples were triggered via foot steps. Multiple people together could compose thier own music live through the movement of their feet. The concept was that the movement could create the music, which would then create the dance in a loop that would feedback on itself.

Diptych Silhouettes


This was an experiment invovling two screens welded out of square iron tubing with rear projection material strung inside them. Cameras provided live input and silhouettes were derived of viewers. Dynamically changing imagery was then fit inside the viewers silhouettes and projected onto the screens. The result was a larger than life silhouette that took on new identity as the imagery filled it.

Helio Hopper

 HelioHopper is a small helicopter whose short "hopping" style of flight is powered by solar energy. As sunlight falls upon their solar panels they gather enough energy to take a short flight, emulating grasshoppers. The frequency of hops is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight available to the HelioHoppers; providing a physical representation of available ambient energy.
