Notes, Experiments, Prototypes ...

A prototype where multiple suspended elements are independently raised and lowered to create flowing, wave-like motion. Synchronized movement is driven by simple mathematical patterns running directly on the controller.

Flexible control system for a 4-DOF robotic arm with support for real-time gesture-based input and repeatable automation.

This post is written for early-career creative technologists and designers who want a practical way to think about interactive systems.

An accessible STEM kit to teach mechanical engineering principles through a continuously moving kinetic sculpture.

A versatile and scalable system for programming multiple hobby servos with TouchDesigner and microcontrollers like Arduino, shared as a popular open-source resource on GitHub.

A primer on the components and considerations involved in creating interactive installations.

An interactive exhibit covering voting and civil rights in the 20s, 40s, and 60s. The goal—to educate schoolchildren about the progress in human rights, encourage them to take human rights personally, and inspire them to become a positive part of history moving forward.

A TouchDesigner project that evolves a static GLSL vertex displacement shader into a fully dynamic, animated visual system.

Distort a shape using the color information from an image using TouchDesigner and GLSL. Change the ‘Movie File In’ image, or starting shape, to create new combinations.
