Truce
The installation explores reciprocal musical interactions between the mosquito and the computer. The computer produces a stimulus sound to which the mosquitoes synchronize. Subsequently, the computer sings a third voice that responds to the musical inflections of the mosquitoes’ buzz. These three voices come in and out of harmony depending on the mosquitoes' propensity to maintain sync with the stimulus signal.

Slurb
Slurb (a word that collapses “slum” and “suburb") encapsulates a dreamy ode to the rise of slime, a watery future in which jellyfish have dominion. The animated, carnivalesque tailgate party loops and stutters like a vinyl record stuck in a groove.

LoopLoop
LoopLoop is made from a sequence captured in a train en route to Hanoi. The 1,000 images of this sequence were stitched into one long panoramic image and integrated with other moving elements. Using smooth transitions, animation, and time shifts, the video runs forward and backward, looking for forgotten details, mimicking the way memories are replayed in the mind.

Climate_Shifts
A large umbrella acts as an overhead screen upon which animations shift through various destinations, with the top of the umbrella pole acting as a locator. Climate news, weather, and time are gathered from real-time RSS feeds and layered over an illuminated light-pollution satellite image of the globe.

Happy_Wear
The system automatically superimposes animations on t-shirts and projects the resulting image on a screen. To achieve this effect in real time, the system first registers a deformable 2D mesh with the view of the t-shirt. Then it evaluates illumination to reproduce it on the virtual elements. It also segments possible occlusions.

In_Touch
This performance interlaces the movements of a performer with the choreography of the sound. The flutist uses the sound, the room, and her movements to affect the resonances of a space, mixing technology, music, and pathways to discover new meanings of space.
