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.
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. Guests (or the performer) fade stems, switch scenes, and shape parameters in real time—hearing the mix change while the visuals respond instantly. It works as a featured performance, a lobby/activation between sets, or a late-night hands-on station. Short-throw friendly and readable in mixed light, it scales from small rooms to festival environments without losing clarity.
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.
Colorful Catalysts
Let the waves of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction wash over you in this real time mimic of the algorithm. Interacting with the midi controller reveals different algorithmic variations. This piece has been projected onto the windows of the south tower of the University Bridge for the last few months to brighten up travelers’ evening commute, as well as making appearances at venues around Seattle. Made in TouchDesigner.
Spawn Scape
Jump into life under the University Bridge with this 3d model of daily salmon spawning counts, interact with the custom salmon keyboard to switch between last year’s Chinook, Coho and Sockeye counts, and control the school with a joystick, visualizing the total count for each day of last year’s spawn. Made in TouchDesigner.
Weather Synthesis
Drawing from live weather data, transforming meteorological information into a multisensory experience. Users become enveloped in the ever-changing atmospheric conditions surrounding the University Bridge, from cloud cover to rainfall and wind speed fostering a deeper connection to the immediate environment.
