POWER STRUCTURES - SPRING 2008
An online system for illustrating the networks of power brokers that influence our daily lives. Connections are made between people, places, organizations, and events using testimony from various sources in order to create a more intricate and revealing map.

IPICONS - SPRING 2007
Each visitor to the project has their IP address turned into an 8x8 pixel icon. The color is derived from the first three octals of the address, and the pattern is a binary interpretation of the last octal. The icons are then organized spatially by their meta data to reveal further possible trends.

WIKIPEDIA BY THE MINUTE - SPRING 2007
A visual transposition of the english wikipedia's recent article changes. Each minute of activity is plotted as a line, with additions to articles tinted green and reductions tinted red based on the amount added/subtracted. New articles are indicated with white, and placed based on their initial size.

ON TRANSLATION: SOCIAL NETWORKS - SUMMER 2006
A visualization of keywords originally derived from military terminology now used across a variety of sectors. Web sites are analyzed for their corporate, military, technological, and cultural values, and then collectively used to create a weighted rank for terms found on their sites.

BODY DAEMON CLIENT - SPRING 2006
A visual client for the Body Daemon server built off of the Gravitons & Graviolies sketch. The server, connected to a human being, outputs heart rate, respiration, galvanic skin response, and muscle tension over UDP packets to network clients which interpret the data.

VISUAL RHIZOME - SPRING 2006
A visual interface to the Rhizome.org Art Base. Projects are connected based on keywords, terms, and genres assigned by their respective artists. Combining several of these tags connects multiple colored lines indicating the projects with shared tags.

GOOGLEVIZ - FALL 2005
Investigating the flow of page rank between the top ten search results. My hypothesis was that the top ten search results for a given query would create a long tail distribution in page rank among the rest of the results due to them linking between each other.

PACIFIC RIM VISUAL DIRECTORY - FALL 2005
Visually mapping artists across the pacific based on shared characteristics. Artists were asked to contribute information to create comparisons, display relationships, and inspire potential collaborations. Connections are made using tags by interest, organization, and prior collaboration.

TACTILE CONTROL OF VIRTUAL ELEMENTS - SPRING 2005
A technical experiment in creating an untangible multi-touch interface by combining both shadow tracking and capacitance sensing. The goal was to simulate a tactile connection with software elements by relying on dragging gestures.

TRANSVERGENT PROJECT RELATIONSHIP MODEL - SPRING 2005
An experiment in mapping skills and disciplines contributing to a variety of creative projects. Artists were asked to contribute their projects for comparison, using their tags and relative weighted percentages to create a spatial arrangement.

SYNAESTHESIA - SPRING 2005
A group project blending visual, audible, and tactile senses using computer software, physical sensors, lights, microphones, speakers, infrared camera, and projection. Audio input is sent to tangible and visual output, tangible input is sent to audio and visual output, and visual input is sent to audio and tangible output.

RESEARCH CHRONOLOGY - SPRING 2005
A visual interface to social bookmarking activity, allowing me to evaluate my research habits and the overall trends of my web browsing interest. Timing of research activity also reveals sleeping habits and academic deadlines.

LATENCY TOPOGRAPHY - FALL 2004
A data visualization of network traffic based on packet latency made specifically for the Carnivore project. The longer it takes data to travel to the server, the farther the node is positioned from the center. Network traffic is animated between nodes and a system beep occurs at the frequency of the destination port of the packet.

DEBATE DEBAUCHERY - FALL 2004
A data visualization of the third debate of the 2004 presidential election. Transcripts of candidates were analyzed for word length and reiteration over time. Data is then spatially mapped in a 3D scatter plot, allowing the viewer to rotate the model and analyze trends in word usage.

TWO DIMENSIONAL AUDIO MIXER - SPRING 2004
A simple technical exercise in creating a musical interface which would allow the spatial mixing of a composition. Instruments are spatially positioned around the microphone to adjust volume, and the microphone can be moved to dynamically change the mix.
