4 projects in the ITP Winter Show this Sunday (2-6pm) and Monday (5-9pm). If you’re in NYC come check out the show. Lots of great projects!
They are:
CabTrails - The movements of a Yellow Cab in San Francisco over several days is visualized in using data from cabspotting.org
Motionspace - In this installation we create hybrids between motion and shape generated from live human action.
Knock Knock - KnockKnock is a system designed to translate memories (photos, text, voice) into a web-based game that gives feedback for the user as well as the occupational therapist.
The Wever - The purpose of the Wever is to assist individuals in initiating the difficult process of opening a window. The Wever may be used in the absence of strength or limited mobility in the upper back and upper extremities.
Special thanks to Menyui for helping hang the projector for Motionspace!
The ITP Winter Show 2006 is happening December 17/18 at NYU. As usual the show will be utter insanity and crammed to the gills with great projects. I have several projects in the show. More info soon!
Follow along as I explore the intersection of biology, electronics, engineering and art. I’m upwards of 180 links and counting. This post will always show the 15 most recent links. Please suggest anything you think is relevant! My interest is getting a little scattered into genetic engineering and nanotechnology, but I’m immediately interested in looking at projects that involve living organisms and electronic devices in symbiotic relationships.
I have Jonah Brucker-Cohen as my thesis advisor next semester. Looking forward to it!
My amazing friend Sara started the Bed Nets for Kids program which is working to reduce the rate of malaria in the Congo by distributing bed nets to children. You can find out more and contribute at the Bed Nets for Kids website.
Amazing video of a descent by paraglider and skis down the Eiger mountain in Switzerland. I’m sure this must have made the rounds by now… but it keeps haunting my brain.
This version has some aerial shots as well, though it’s not quite as gripping!
