During the Electric Fields biennial festival of electronic art and music in Ottawa, Karsh Masson Gallery hosted the Prototype exhibition, which focused on the iterative processes behind electronic-based art.
Unfortunately I don’t have as many photos of the exhibit as I’d like, as the whole experience was a bit of a whirlwind, with two days dedicated [...]

DOTKLOK update
Progress on DOTKLOK has been somewhat diverted lately by a bunch of exhibitions I’ve been busy preparing for, but there’s some new pics I’ve been anxious to share. The fourth beta DOTKLOK is built with a smoked acrylic front face, a black acrylic back, and a row of all-black buttons along the bottom:

Leo Villareal @ the San Jose Museum of Art
Here’s a great article about Leo Villareal’s exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art. The article is packed with videos of Villareal’s work, including a walk-through of the actual exhibit.
I particularly resonated with this quote from the artist:
I am interested in the idea of generative art and rendering the patterns on the fly, but [...]
What I did on my summer vacation
For a detailed account of all the various projects I worked on this past summer during my residency at NYC Resistor, I invite you to check out this post I did for their blog.
A tour of NYCResistor
Head on over to the Artengine blog for a post touring NYCResistor where I was “hacker/artist in residence” this summer!
DOTKLOK prototype programming
Just a quick post to share a video of some of the first animations I’ve programmed for DOTKLOK, my upcoming open-source digital clock with multiple time animations.
The final version will probably have a black/smoked case with a choice of red or green LEDs.
Not sure if the buttons will be on the side or the bottom [...]
DOTKLOK beta
Thanks to the laser cutter at NYC Resistor, I have my first DOTKLOK beta w/ an “open concept” enclosure:
Not sure that this is what the final clock will actually look like, but I now have a nice prototype to program on.
Since this will be an open source kit, I’m looking for feedback about the buttons.
Should [...]
DOTKLOK prototyping
A few more pics from the prototyping stage of DOTKLOK (see my introductory blog post here.
I’ve soldered my prototyping circuit together:
Next up: a user interface (buttons!) and writing lots of time animations . . .
Introducing DOTKLOK
Today I made some initial progress on one of my summer projects here at NYC Resistor – a rudimentary mock-up of the DOTKLOK hardware:
DOTKLOK will be an open source clock kit with multiple time-telling animations, some literal like the simple display above, and others showing the passage of time through abstract patterns, following on from [...]
The LEDs are on the wall
I’ve officially begun my residency at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in NYC:

Working with Hernani Dias on the Re:Farm project (see my previous post for some more info about the Re:Farm project), my first objective is to create the PCB for the Re:Farm On The Wall module, a data visualization module using [...]
