Traces of the earlier arts and design site, kept at their original addresses.
Instant Wallpaper Generator ↗
Visitors arranged geometric shapes, paper, and found objects in a capture area. A webcam, Processing code, and a short-throw projector turned the live arrangement into a repeated pattern on the wall.
A Machine That Listens ↗
The documented installation received speech through a microphone and responded with text and images found online. Its presentation compared learning to listen with a child learning language.
Machine Senses ↗
The source describes a group of artifacts that gave familiar sensing functions recognizable bodily forms. Examples included a smoke detector shaped like a nose, an ear-shaped microphone, and eye stickers for cameras.
Reframe ↗
Reframe explored putting an older phone or music player inside a frame. The archived page suggested display uses such as a clock, an image sequence, and a weather widget.
100 days of P5.js ↗
The archived page introduced an attempt to learn p5.js by making one hundred simple, interactive, playful sketches. It linked onward to the sketch series.
Eye To Eye ↗
Eye To Eye used the relationship between human senses and machine sensors to ask what it feels like to be observed by technology. The source framed cameras as a machine’s eyes.
Ductiles ↗
The surviving page joins the words duct and tile and associates the result with the capacity to be fashioned into another form. Very little explanatory text survives in that capture.
Pattern-Generating Cubes ↗
The archived description presents a set of twenty-five cubes whose different faces could be arranged into patterns. It emphasizes touch as well as sight in perceiving form.
Radius ↗
The surviving page identifies Radius as an interactive art piece and places the familiar circle-area formula beside it. It invites the audience to discover how the work operates.
Gran Turismo ↗
The captured page describes a journey by land and sea from 26 July to 21 October 2014 and credits music accompanying the work. The text is brief.
Four-Letter Word ↗
Four-Letter Word appears in the earlier portfolio, with a captured page discussing the meaning and social use of the phrase. The surviving text gives more linguistic context than construction detail.
Infinite Variations ↗
The archived account describes a collaborative exhibit developed for a Genentech social space at TED2012. The installation connected genetic information with a personalized musical experience.
Faraday Bicycle ↗
The portfolio describes a collaboration between an IDEO design team and Rock Lobster Custom Cycles. The bicycle combined electric assistance, lighting, and an interchangeable front cargo arrangement.
Scanadu Tricorder Vision ↗
The captured project page describes a concept video developed with an IDEO research and design team to communicate a proposed medical-device vision for Scanadu.
StoryTree ↗
The archived description presents StoryTree as a way for families and close groups to collect and share stories, memories, and images across generations.
Hunter's Paradise ↗
The source describes an installation that used toy guns and packaged snack meats to exaggerate contemporary ways of obtaining food. It identifies an exhibition at the Thomas Welton Stanford Gallery in April 2011.
Authenmathai ↗
Authenmathai asked what people mean by authentic Thai food and imagined a machine that could assemble the expected qualities and ingredients. The archived text treats automation as a way to question the category.
Tap Tap Animation ↗
The recovered 2011 page describes 418 tap lights mounted on a large structure. Visitors could switch these physical pixels to compose patterns, images, and messages, with a time-lapse station capturing the changes.
Levi's Curve ID Tool ↗
The portfolio describes an IDEO collaboration with Levi’s on a measurement tool associated with the Curve ID jeans system. The design aimed to make the fitting interaction easier for store staff to carry out.
Pulse News Reader ↗
The captured page describes Pulse as an application that brought multiple RSS feeds into a tiled reading interface. It discusses interface work on personalization, sharing, tutorials, and managing sources.
Out of The Closet ↗
The archived experiment used a life-size projected display and a wireless foot pedal to explore choosing a T-shirt. It was presented in a product-design setting.
Marble Machine ↗
The captured account describes work with the Exploratorium’s Tinkering Studio on components for a visitor-built marble machine. Tracks, tubes, funnels, and other familiar parts formed the wider activity.
Touch Me. I Have Feelings, Too ↗
A recovered 2010 project page asked whether machines have feelings and described an Arduino-and-Flash interface that gave a computer an expressive bodily metaphor.
The Death Wheel 3000dx ↗
A recovered March 2010 page describes a welded personal glider intended to evoke hang-gliding while remaining on the ground. The project also received links from maker and design publications.
VideoEcho ↗
The recovered 2010 description identifies VideoEcho as an Exploratorium exhibit based on video feedback. A camera captured its own live projection onto a table, creating a continuous visual loop.
DTAC Experiences ↗
The portfolio account groups a children’s maze, a seasonal snow-globe experience, and rearrangeable graphic cubes used for a service booth. It presents them as interactive environments developed with dtac.
B-ing House ↗
The captured page describes the 2008 remodeling of a narrow two-story house, using sketches and a scale model to develop ideas within the existing space.
Cubot ↗
CUBOT was described as a modular toy system for young children, with blocks that rotated or oscillated. Connecting the blocks produced different collective motion behaviors.
Earlier portfolio context ↗
This address previously held information about the owner of the earlier art and design portfolio. It is retained as a historical receiving address without recreating a personal biography.
Artist Statement ↗
An Artist Statement page was part of the navigation captured from the earlier portfolio. It belonged to that earlier creative practice.
In Three Emojis ↗
A dated ETH Ambassadors report from 18 September 2017 describes an installation inviting visitors to express a personal experience of global warming through three emojis.
