art practice
 
 
My work has centered around two main interests, firstly exploring the possibilities of interactive multimedia and secondly of audio based artistic production. The latter has often used multimedia as part of the process.
 
 
Current Art Projects:
Audio Mapping (SF) Audio maps of urban spaces. [more]
 
 
Works:

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
08.02
Berkeley

I was invited to participate in the Berkeley Art Festival. The installation was described as a child powered musical instrument. It consisted of a bed (custom built) which passing children by were invited to jump up and down on. This caused the bed to play nursery rhymes in a "round" structure. The more activity, the faster and more complex the music became. See the Interactive Bed entry in the portfolio section for further details.
