computer desk no. 3

One in a set of computer desks built specifically for unknown reasons. My school desk was always a mess. These desks engage seriously with that mess, and with the mess of computers and desks.

tricorder

The MIDI Tricorder is a simple midi interface designed to introduce a few types of sensors (button, toggle, knob, light sensor) and an actuator (an led) in a simple and clear way, but with avenues for expansion. The enclosure is created using a 3D printed base and a laser cut top panel. All of the design files are open source, including the arduino code and a set of max patches with some examples of how to work with the tricorder.

This project was developed as part of an introduction to digital interfaces, with a focus on sculptural, spiritual, ecological, and experimental approaches to instrument design and interactive objects. This module was developed for the New Media + Sound Arts program at Emily Carr University. I try to update these materials each time I teach a workshop or course.

Pond Sample

in ,

In May of 2020, I collected 2 gallons of water, rocks, and sludge from the duck pond on Little Mountain in Vancouver. I observed and recorded the plant and animal life that emerged from this one pond sample over the course of a year. During that time, I added a 3D printed building, a clear plastic orb, concrete blocks, plastic drinking straws, microscope slides, a bit of stained glass, and a ping pong ball. This footage was edited to play during quiet times in a friend’s kindergarten class.
