Title: Awaken    

Dimensions : 15 in(H) x 17 in (L) x 11in (W)

All media used:  Adurino board, X-band motion detector, power extension cord, glass plasma globe and light bulb

Brief statement of work :  This project was inspired from the sub conscious mind. The plasma globe represents the awaken eye, guarding between parallel worlds of the subconscious and conscience. When people walk by the eye, contemplating between their thoughts, the eye will spark on look for you.

Title: Primitive Transhumanism: Experiment #2

Dimensions: 12" x 6" x 4"

Media: Arduino, Wire, Glove, Electro-magnets, Electromyography pads, leds

Statement: This piece is the 2nd iteration of exploring the transhuman experience thorough the tools we have available today as opposed to waiting for the future to catch up to our ideas. . Utilising common electronics, I am able to create an experience that resembles things only found in science fiction.

Title: Relative Position

Dimensions: A small room, the floor space can range from an 8' x 8' to a 12'x12'

Media: Arduino, Infra red sensors, wires, leds, photo resistor, capacitors, 555 chip, and Speakers.

Statement: I want to explore the relation between the observer and the observed.  Though the use of sound, I wish for the observer to explore their own relative position in the room. The more active the observer the richer the observed sound experience.

Title: Autonomous Drawer

Dimensions: Floor space, ranging from 8" x 8" to 12" x 12"; RC Car: 11' x 9' x 3'

All media used: Arduino, RC Radio Car, bricks, wood paneling or butcher paper

Brief statement of work: My project consists of a RC Radio car not being controller remotely by a human being, but a micro controller (Arduino). It will be programmed to generate random intervals of movement, giving a higher degree of autonomy towards the machine. As for controlling random movements, it will be placed on top of either a wood board or sheet of butcher paper, with paint markers on the side of the car, creating a randomly generated drawing.

Title: Ether Radio 

Dimensions: 9"x6"x5' 

Media used: wires, electronic components, oscillator, metal antenna, potentiometers, microphone, microphone preamp, audio cables, power supply, headphones, wooden cigar box

Brief Statement of work: In the early days of radio broadcasting , the hobbyists imagined radio carrier waves as part of "the ether".  It is believed that "the ether" is a medium that can be used to communicate in the spiritual realm. This FM Radio Transmitter encourages those who make sounds in front of its microphone to use it to speak to "the ether".

Title: Theremin

Dimensions: 4'x3'x6"

Media Used: wood, aluminum, integrated circuits, transistors, capacitors, diodes, inductors, potentiometers, resistors, switch, connectors, knobs, antenna, power supply, speaker

Brief Statement of Work: Invented by Leon Theremin in the 1920s, the Theremin was the first electronic musical instrument. Played without physical contact, players wave their hands in the air near vertical pitch and horizontal volume antennae. Try it!

Title: Recycled Nostalgia
Dimensions: 1' x 1' x 0.5'
Media used: N64 controller, arduino, wire, resistors, bluetooth, battery

Brief Statement of Work: I plan to give life to, once again, my old Nintendo 64 controller. By connecting the controller to an arduino and a bluetooth device, I will be able to control my iTunes on my computer. That way, I will always have use for this nifty device.

Title: Third Hand
Dimensions: 20" x 12" x 3"
Media: Arduino, Wire, Glove, PVC pipes, elastic, servos, fishing line, and flex sensors.
Statement: My project is going to be my "hello world" into robotic experimentation.  I will be building a control glove (i.e. "Powerglove") and mechanical hand.  When the user wears the glove, the mechanical hand will mimic the user's hand movement.

Title: Ball Bounce 

Dimensions: 2 1/2 ft x 2 1/2 ft x 3 1/2 ft tall

Media: Arduino, Wire, PVC pipe, Motor, Fiberglass, Plastics, Strobe Lights.

Statement: The zoetrope i am building is meant to recreate the basic principles of animation.  The piece will demonstrate how an animation works through its process of running. The piece will be still and lifeless until turned on, when the piece starts spinning all the items in front of you will blur and when hit with a strobe light the characters will come to life.
