AntiVJ light sculpture for ClubTransmediale in Berlin.

Video Sculpture Assignment #1:

In the vein of the Constructivists, I wanted to use light to interact with other mediums.  My challenge here was to take something that was existing and use light to emphasize its geometric/structural form.  The second goal was to give it utilitarian purpose.  Hence Window Vision => Light Sculpture => Coffee Table.

explorations: the arcades project

Explorations slowly begins to unravel some of the many tessellations of urban experience. As a projection, the user encounters the scene as a small cityscape, gradually emerging out of mortar and concrete. Little by little, the scene starts to unravel; and similar to the way that we bear our scars and our marks as a visual history of our life, the city bursts forth with the history of its inhabitants and the elements of its structure. And as the viewer is enveloped by these aggregate materials, objects, and people, he or she becomes a part of a new history and place, continuing a new cycle of things to come.
