“The Painful Introduction to Virtual Reality”, Versions 2016
For VERSIONS 2016, hosted by Killscreen and NEWINC, I gave a workshop about perception and designing for the senses in virtual reality. The results were positive and I got some emails asking me to share this,…
It’s raining again
I put this thing on twitter and it spread too quickly for me to understand what’s going on. So here it is, somewhere I can see.
Cartography pt. 1 : Pulling cars from security cameras
Here’s something I did with Surya Mattu for James George’s video art class at ITP. For now, it’s a program that takes feeds from traffic cameras, extracts cars and turns them into sprites. There’s some…

Oscillations [Processing.js]
Oscillations (click for fullscreen) is something I wrote in processing.js. It’s an experiment in iterated linear interpolations of trigonometric functions. Controls: The mouse controls the sampling frequency The up/down keys control the frequency multiplier The…
Line Permutation Camera
This is a little thing I’ve been working on for James George’s class. It’s a sketch that evolves a 2D image sequence from a single video line. Right now it uses some form of averaging,…
