| The Sociable Pint (2009 -) | ||
 |
The Sociable Pint investigates the use of networked objects, not to further an impersonal trajectory of media, but to encourage and augment face-to-face conversation. Through the introduction of Pint-to-Pint (P2P) networking, bar glasses become social objects themselves, mapping themselves onto the existing network of people, in turn inserting a new layer of sociability within the space. By networking pint glasses capable of sensing, recording, and interpreting gestural data, the glasses can collectively provide direct intervention onto the social fabric within the bar space. The project page can be found here: sociablepint.net. |

| Parklights (2006) | ||
 |
in collaboration with Daniel Wedler Parklights is an exploration of pedestrian traffic as it is situated within the urban park environment.

| Capiderm: The Anti-Consumerism Patch (2006) | ||
 |
Tired of falling prey to the wrath of consumerism? Addicted to the exhilaration of burning through your paychecks through the purchase of useless name brand items? Can’t resist the hypnotic spectacle of commercial spaces? Introducing Capiderm - the anti-consumerism patch. Capiderm uses active Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tags to trigger anti-shoplifting alarms as they pass through EAS gates. Because EAS is a standardized system implemented in most chain stores, one active EAS tag is effective for all EAS-equipped stores. Through the use of Capiderm, your desire to shop is curbed through the triggering of store alarms upon your entrance. Through this action, the quality of your shopping experience is compromised, deterring uncontrollable consumerism habits. |

| Underwear (2006) | ||
 |
Underwear uses live image data from lewd web cam portal sites and represents them in a context where the original perverse connotations are lost. Based on the amount of area web cam exhibitionists take up in the frame, the type and amount of motion, the web cams images are represented as polka dots in real-time and projected on a pair of [unsoiled] tighty-whities. As the original web cam image changes, the size, shape and color of the polka dots change. |

| The RFID Implantation Experiment (2006) | ||
 |
In possession of RFID chips and the correct tools to implant them into my body, I coaxed two other artists to join me in a seedy motel room in order to assist me with a bootleg implantation procedure. |

| GotHacked.com: Starbucks Hack (2005) | ||
 |
in collaboration with Chris Barr and Chris Ferrari
For a few hours on a chilly day people walking down the busy Elmwood Avenue could have a free cup of joe and some decent conversation. With a simple gift of a cup of coffee people began to become open and willing to share their stories and ideas. Our invitation offered people a place to interact with each other in public unbound from the role of consumer. |

As people filed out of a orchestra concert, we gave out free hot dogs amongst the cold grey walls of King Concert Hall.

|
| Conceal/Reveal (2002) | ||
 |
Conceal/Reveal is a video installation projected onto plaster heads. It is about what is thought, but not spoken; that which yearns to be conveyed but remains trapped within the turbulent head. |
