This is a project done in collaboration with YesYesNo. The goal was to turn the historic Ferry Building in downtown Auckland New Zealand into a giant interactive playground.

We used 3 different types of interaction – body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There were 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public. The whole experience lasted 6 nights.

little experiment from last week.

saw these at a nearby Anthropologie thought they were super cool. Reminds me of a project I worked on awhile back, Fungi. I really would love to revisit this project and try something new.

Here are some more attempts to create a generative stipple filter. The idea here is to find the outlines of shapes in the image. I think that I can use this data to create bounds for particles and stipple points.

Been doing some testing to find the flow of pixels in portraits. Above are a few attempts to find vectors in pixels based on surrounding pixels. In video this is achieved by simple comparing current frames to previous frames then calculating the velocity of the different pixels. Here I want to find the general flow of pixels through the image. The goal is to then have particles stream through the image to generate a representation of the image, some type of generative stipple drawing.

One of the best parts of winter is sledding. A bunch of us went out to a golf course in Newton to tear up the slopes. Of course we need to make the biggest jump possible, never grow up.
