bio-electric, haptic,
gestural and thought interfaces— documentation ////
| the impossible sky : |
| |
An indeterminate number of cameras point towards the sky. The collective presence of all these images is joined together into an additive composite. While it isn't possible to distinguish individual characteristics from each location, the composite becomes a hybrid of all skies — the impossible sky. |
| touch
skin— skin touch: |
| |
The
skin of the body and the skin of technology interact in this installation
to form a charged exploration of bio electric interface. Using
bio sensors (IBVA hardware), video sensors and electrical frequency
sensors the body of the user and the body of a TV create a feedback
loop on each other. (to see full documentation you will need the
flash plug-in) |
| 50hz: |
| |
A
series of works that investigates the merging electronic frequency
of technology to that of the human brain and
consciousness.
version
1 - In the
form of a
self-portrait, the artist reflects on his relationship to the
electronic cycles of both his natural and electronic body. (flash
plug-in
required)
version
2- In development |
| beyond: |
| |
Moving
beyond the surface of skin and exploring a state of consciousness
that pushes and pulls between multiple states of being. |
| Network
Touch: |
| |
The
idea of a Network Touch plays on the possibilities and impossibilities
of this moment in cyberspace where two people try and make a haptic
connection. |
Works in progress
and continual research
A
major component to my work is the exploration of new technologies and
the integration of these within poetic systems. Following is a list of
areas of continual research.
| data
streams: |
| |
The
construction of bridges to pass data between multiple media. As
an example the interaction with a web site controls physical parameters
in an installation or vice versa. |
| bio
streams: |
| |
Bio-sensors,
bio-feedback, EEG, EMG, EKG. What ever title you associate to
it. These works move beyond physical touch. User/s interact with
computer systems or with others through the inner workings of
their own body. Using IBVA hardware
(Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer) I have designed several
prototypes for shared bio feedback. Some of these prototypes
will be available as open source for others (Check back soon
for these downloads. If interested you can contact me for questions)
Here are some working prototypes currently in development.
Using
muscle sensors, a performer generates music generated from
the tension of their body

painting. Multiple users in remote locations share a virtual
canvas. Their additive brainwaves play mind games with each
other to form a painting.
