DOTKLOK software 1.3
New “big font” time display
If you haven’t already, it’s time to update your DOTKLOK! When you plug your DOTKLOK in, the software version will briefly be displayed (if there is no display, you are running code version 1.0 or older). The latest release is version 1.3, now available at the DOTKLOK project page in the [...]
“Phenomena” @ CUBE Gallery, Feb. 1-27 2011
Phenomena is a group exhibition @ CUBE Gallery featuring seven artists’ take on climatic, astronomical, or geological phenomena.
Alongside work by Aili Kurtis, Paul Schibli, Guy Lavigueur, Jennifer Gibbs, Reid MacLachlan, John Roth, and Tony Broderick, I’m debuting work exploring new themes for me: a light piece controlled by the colour of the sky.
The light patterns [...]
DOTKLOK launched!
As you may have noticed from the sidebar on the right of this page, DOTKLOK “unofficially” launched before Christmas when I quietly put it up on Etsy, planning to spread the word during the beginning of 2011 . . .
Well, things got started for me when it was picked up over the holidays by a [...]
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:

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 [...]
