This is Elliot. He does not approve of my paparazzisms.
John Berry however, was very excited about the organ.
John Berry also crucified my phone one day.
If you can't read the text it says "jesus phone get crossed"
I am sad that i don't have my friends from back home around. So i have tear drops.
this is what i feel like sometimes when i program max. lasers.
This is a poster that we made for the digital media department. I hope it draws more people to come and work with us.

It was an odd and only semi-functional investigation into the relationship between powerpoint and people that do stuff with datamapping. Specifically Edward Tufte, Martin Wattenberg, and Benjamin Fry along with a look at David Byrne.
I'm interested in the sort of inversion that happens to a small amount of data that is translated in a social context via the "map" of a powerpoint presentation versus the huge fields of dynamic data that can be delivered very rapidly using visual data-mapping techniques. Data-mapping can be used in a powerpoint presentation to present alot of data very quickly, and basically this is what simple graphs and pie charts do, but they only present a very generalized feel for information if the user cannot browse them in the way that modern dynamic data-mapping allows.
This pink one is a program called MKO that uses a nomal keyboard sideways as a controller for some beat cutup software that I wrote. I'll probably put up an ep of that stuff soon. It's pretty fun to use. I really like the way perry hoberman uses keyboards in one of his pieces.. I can't remember which one it is. MKO is fun because you can have direct discrete control and global control of parameters at the same time. Something I am getting more interested in. That and Time.
This is called Triangle music. I actually finished it over winter session in like 2 days after obsessing about how hard it was going to be all Fall semester. This program takes two parameters of input (cartesian x y) and maps them to a variable number of output parameters. The whole point is to develop a sort of ideosyncratic control structure that can create complex behaviors from a limited number of input sources. I've only done really cursory explorations of how to map the output, for example using each output parameter as the pitch of an oscillator or volume of the oscillator. I've thought of some other things too... If you have any ideas, write me please. I can't tell whether I should patent this interface or if it's actually dumb. Go figure. The funniest part was that I tried to figure out all this silly trig stuff and it was just a matter of good ol y = mx + b. Thank the gods for that one.
