Spectacle of Change is a portrait study of six artists whos' work bridges
between tactile and digital means of production. The portraits are created using 3D scans and
the rendered in real time across four monolithic high resolution displays.

Technical Direction
The Treachery of Sanctuary
by Chris Milk
I teamed up with Chris Milk and Ben Tricklebank to direct the software development for their
latest installation for the San Francisco Creators Project event.
The Treachery of Sanctuary is three towering projections above a
still reflecting pool. Standing before the display you are surprised as
your shadow begins to dissolve, transforming into hundreds of small birds fluttering
upwards to join the flock. Within just a few moments your silhouette has completely
disintegrated leaving no trace of you left in the image.

Lead Software Design
Forth
The University of Central Florida in Orlando commissioned Karolina Sobecka to create an art installation
in the lobby of the newly constructed Partnership III building, home to the Institute for Simulation and Training.
Forth is an interactive projection depicting a vast and changing sea populated with people in boats. The ocean and weather change with the time
of day and real time data from internet weather services. Visitors on site can also interact with the projection by placing
small paper boats on the ocean's surface.
The experience is heightened by a sound environment which responds to the weather and visitors passing through the space.

Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Lobby Columns
Lead by the LAB @ Rockwell, the
permanent installation in the West Lobby of the new Cosmopolitan Hotel/Casino
features eight giant central columns wrapped in LCD screens and mirrors featuring live generative graphics.
The Lab created three unique generative designs for the 384 independently controllable screens. Throughout the day, the images shift through
the four seasons, or transform the room into an effervescent chamber, or showcase a a dance performance.

Electronics and Interaction Design
Hikari Cube
In collaboration with Miya Ando, we created an interactive
light sculpture from steel and electronics. Intended as a
study of how non-sentient objects are able to absorb the energy around them, the Hikari Cube responds
to those who pass by with responsive patterned light.
