It touches are some of the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, particularly that in Being and Nothingness. It illustrates this through the…
The Eternal Cycle is an experience created for NMD 102. I would call it a game, but it’s not actually possible to lose only to get stuck forever. Created by Hillary Cox, William McEnery and Robert Britten.
Created in photoshop for 2D Design, this poster was an attempt to raise awareness about the threat of sea level rise due to global warming. I chose a very iconic landmark to try to catch peoples attention and went with a somewhat exaggerated, playful take on a serious issue. I also tried to keep…
A self-portrait created entirely from bits of newspaper. It makes heavy use of varying font sizes and of different font styles , specifically the visual difference between fonts with and without serifs. You can see this most clearly in the “quietly busy” background, which has subtle pattern variations and separates itself from the portrait…

Seascape Ultraparty is a generative art project made in Processing.js. It started as a means to simulate some artificial, programmed creatures and eventually became what you see today. What’s not apparent in the video is that the sketch uses webcam input to generate food for the individual creatures. You can read the impetus behind…

Hacked Hexbug spiders using arduino, xBee, and ultrasonic rangers. Our efforts created an expandable, customizable and flexible mobile sensing platform with the capability to be integrated into a cooperative mesh-network. Basic relative location data, using radio signal strength, was gathered from the Xbee module on the mobile spider to get rough idea of location without…
The Sound Dragon is a hacked musical instrument, using a kitchen glove, 5 flex sensors, an arduino uno, a foam ball, and a wiimote. To interface with a computer it used Max MSP for the Arduino and Osculator to connect the WiiMote. By switching between different loops, moving your fingers allows you to adjust different…
