The Montana Data Transmitter Box is an interactive installation at the Lark Hotel in Bozeman, MT.  Users can see current snow depth, new snow fall, and temperature at various locations in the mountains surrounding Bozeman, as well as gage heights of local rivers. Data is displayed on needle gauges, honoring the overall aesthetic of the lobby, and flashing blue lights indicate new snowfall, a nod to the decades old tradition of the Bridger Bowl blue light.   The MTDT is a collaboration between ThinkTank, Hukel Designs, MFGR, and myself.

My first Processing project, for the Cottonwood Club’s almost annual ‘Fascists’ show. This Machine Kills is a first-person shooter game with the goal being to blow up the sentences as they appear. A secret key will explode them all.  You can download the game here (untested for distribution)!

An ongoing series of toys based on historic weapons, here the Soviet R1 missile and the Vietnam-era M61 grenade. Brass, roller chain, paint, and wood. Not suitable for children under the age of 18.

The Magic Cuil Ball replaces with normal text response of the traditional Magic Eight Ball with a short video reply, leaving the viewer to interpret its meaning. The videos are sometimes violent, sometimes pornographic, and always bizarre.

The term cuil refers to the level of abstraction of a response from true reality. The symbol of the cuil is the Interrobang, shown on the top of the ball.

Activism and apathy.  Flipping the guarded switch reveals the activism facade.

Buzz is a mirror that reflects the state of mind of the user.  Anyone that has recently had a drink or is mildly intoxicated will see a red glow superimposed on their reflection.

Buzz contains a two-way mirror, red LED, alcohol sensor, and various electronics.

Like Throwies with a message, Subversive Streetsigns are meant to be programmed with subversive text and left in public places. Milled from aluminum and fitted with high-strength magnets, they are designed to be installed in and blend in to an urban environment.
