Plankton Perspectives
Plankton Perspectives invites visitors to dive beneath the surface—zooming through live or recorded microscope views of local water samples and revealing the tiny organisms living alongside the city. In galleries, guests learn to spot shapes and behaviors; at parties, the piece leans more artistic, turning the micro world into flowing, reactive visuals. Either way, the interaction is immediate and approachable: move a joystick and the scene responds—pan, zoom, spotlight, and highlight motion.
Ambient Artifacts
Ambient Artifacts is a slow-breathing, generative visual that feels alive without demanding attention. Soft noise fields drift and pulse on a gentle arc; color shifts are subtle and room-aware, so it reads as an elegant layer for dinners, lounges, and resets between sets. Guests (or the operator) can nudge motion, density, and “breath” in real time, keeping the vibe coherent while the scene evolves.
Live A/V Duo Performance: Photon Echo
A live A/V set that feels cohesive and easy to follow. Slope performs original electronic music while I run real-time visuals that stay synced to the set via TouchOSC, so drops, builds, and quiet sections land clearly. The rig is compact and fits on a small stage or in small rooms and the show leaves space for both seated listening and dance. We close with a short DJ segment where Slope plays a few tracks by other artists to keep the energy up and set the tone for the rest of the night.
Interactive Dance Floor Visuals
Guests step onto the dance floor and their silhouettes appear in real time, leaving glowing trails as they move. Built with Kinect tracking and TouchDesigner, custom color palettes for each event.
Public Gallery Exhibit: University Bridge Residency Capstone
Six interactive installations from my University Bridge residency. Audience-controlled through joysticks, MIDI, Kinect, and Leap Motion. Each piece translates bridge ecology data into something you can play with.
Live VJ Set on Layered-Scrim Stage Install: Parallax Projections
Biomimicry and generative patterns emerge through a real-time audio reactive toolkit with spectrum analysis built in TouchDesigner, performed live to match varied audio. Five scrim planes and a short-throw projector create parallax and depth. Later in the night we switched to interactive mode, the same rig with a podium and controller so guests could immerse themselves in the visuals, learn more about the installation below!
Organic Flow
This artwork evolves in real-time, responding to the flow and energy of human motion with organic visual patterns and fluid transitions, creating an immersive real-time experience.
Frog Technology
Frog Technology is a pick-up-and-play A/V instrument. The performer fades stems, switches scenes, and shapes parameters in real-time, hearing the mix change while the visuals respond instantly. It works as a featured performance, a lobby activation, between stages, or a late-night interactive lounge. Short-throw friendly and readable in mixed light, it scales from small spaces to festival environments without losing clarity and is popular with all ages.
Reaction Diffusion Experience
A real-time replica of the miraculous reaction-diffusion algorithm, this piece models the dynamic interplay between chemical reactions and molecular diffusion. Inspired by natural phenomena such as fingerprints, coral, and fish markings, this installation showcases the algorithm’s ability to generate complex, self-organizing patterns. Made in TouchDesigner.
Dynamic Bridge Particles
The University Bridge is rendered as a particle system; interaction with the Leap Motion Controller allows you to open the bridge for sailboats and tugs. Created with TouchDesigner.
