The next Creative Coding work­shop at Gray Area in down­town SF starts tonight, and there are a few spots left. Hope you can make it!

I’ll be teach­ing another work­shop on cre­ative cod­ing at the end of the month! Join us, and learn to use Processing to cre­ate your own inter­ac­tive, dig­i­tal art. Details at gaffta.org.

Practice, my MFA the­sis project, will be set up for you to explore this Friday in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Practice is both a work of inter­ac­tive video art and a design research project.

Unlike most other works of this medium, it does not reward bod­ily motion and exag­ger­ated ges­tures, but encour­ages patience and self-reflection. In so doing, it explores the ten­sion between emo­tional engage­ment and the uncom­fort­able ambi­gu­ity of not know­ing what will hap­pen next.

While work­ing on deep ocean graph­ics for a client, I inad­ver­tently cre­ated some­thing more cloud-like.
