Design of Unusual Media

I am pleased to announce that the CMT Freedom Taxi Interface has hit another city! This pic was snapped by Daniel Cohen, the project's Flex developer in Boston recently.

I designed the Freedom interface in the Fall of 2008 while working closely with CMT Frontend Developer Scott Selikoff and Deborah Au-Yeung, one of the best Interactive Project Managers out there.

I'm teaching a class called Experiments with Technology in the Parsons BFADT program this semester, and it's given me a chance to reacquaint myself with Processing.

In June I travelled to Tanzania on an International Budget Project fellowship to work with Policy Forum, a group of NGOs in Tanzania that work to promote transparency in government.

The core focus of my work was to develop open-source solutions for communication design, as well as to foster open communications amongst member organizations using wireless technologies.

Digital Puppetry, a project I collaborated on with artist Tine Papendick and all-around digital genius Rory Solomon on, is now on display at Eyebeam Atelier, in Chelsea through August 9 as part of the Interactivos exhibition.

The project uses Computer Vision with OpenCV to allow viewers to attach digital accessories to their images in real-time.
