M.A.S.S. - An Interactive A.I. Installation
Co-artist (with Julio Soto), sponsored by Impact NL/EMARE
MASS is an artificially intelligent art installation exploring group behavior based on the interactions between humans and computer generated virtual agents; nature vs. nurture revealed through embodied artificial intelligence.
"MASS does not attempt to merge the virtual and the physical, but to exploit the division; reminding us that while we may connect to this other world it is at best only a mirror to ourselves, revealed through the expression of our most elementary behaviors."

Concept, Artist, Animator, Houdini Artist
Created for SIGGRAPH's pioneering "Interactive Dance Club", MeldOrbs provides a unique multi-participant experience.
Touch and proximity-sensors on the orbs produce visible effects in the projected imagery & audio to advance the narrative. Simultaneous contact from multiple users creates unique effects and branching of the journey; collaboration is rewarded.
Sushi Jones: Lenticular Installation
A six panel set of lenticular images integrated into a New York City eatery. As customers move through the space, the images in the panels subtly reveal whimsical brand messaging.
In the photo studio, I made photographs of the leafy plants, then carefully made two composites in photoshop for each panel, combining the photographs with typography created by the art director, Loren Camilleri of MOVK. Finally, the images were printed on board through a special process (lenticular) which has the effect of linearly blending the images as a person moves past them.
Below are examples of the transition between the two overlaid images.
Out-takes from the photo-composites, below:
Thanks!
