The painting machine is working! Although its a little sensitive right now and am working on the algorithm that will make it paint better (or more realistic I should say.) So far I am getting images like this:

Sky Gazer is an installation whose purpose is to bring awareness to the surveillance trend around the world and an increase of a self-surveillance culture often called Sousveillance. The installation consists of a sculptural character (“SkyGazer”) that is forever gazing at the sky (or ceiling if it’s indoors.) This is taking the meaning of Sousveillance […]

Sky Gazer will be a clay doll that will look up at you from the ground. It will have a camera attached to its eye which will sent the video feed to a projector pointing to the ceiling. I made sure that the body of the doll was hollow so that I can fit the […]

Meet the HelioHopper, a concept that came out of a collaborative group at ITP. The HelioHopper is a little flying machine that uses the sun to power its engines. For this experiment, we used a Micro Mosquito Helicopter from Radioshack to prove if the concept will work or not. This prototype will prove that solar […]

The Spring Show is on! It will take place on: Monday, May 12 and May 13 from 5pm – 9pm Interactive Telecommunications Program Tisch School of the Arts | New York University 721 Broadway, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10003 212-998-1880

The code is working. There will be two cameras; one pointing at the subject to be painted and the other will be tracking the movement of the mobile arm. The image below illustrates what the computer will be seeing. The white dot on my eyebrow is not a mistake. That is the illustration of the […]

An other Project I will be working on is the development of a painting machine. I will be making a little mobil unit that will travel around a canvas and paint the portrait of a person. The little mobil unit will be assisted by a computer which will be the eyes and brains running the […]

I will be putting together a project called Tommy the sky gazer… Or something along those lines. The installation will involve a doll about two feet tall, a video camera and a screen. The concept is that Tommy (the doll) will be made so that his eyes are always looking up at whatever walks by […]

A Helios Power Tree was used in an installaton at ITP. Blue carpet and some grass-like foam pieces where used in “Synthetic Oasis.” The overall form was achieved by omitting symmetry, leading to an organic feel, that captures a sense of life; not mentioning the Helios’ inner pulse that mimics a heart. It appears as […]
