Projects

2023

Move around in space with your hands. "Feels like sprinting." Velocity-based world-grabbing stays comfy + familiar.

2019

VR granular particle instrument/song

2019

Gestural GAN exploration interface

2018
PROP→ Mach 1 AV Tunnel + Performance at Subsurface

Installation + performance inside limestone-mine tunnel, syncing chain of DMX lights to the speed of sonic pulses to fuse the AV percept. See the sound race towards you in the seconds before it hits.

2018

VR cloth physics instrument/song
