Back in February, I saw this call for single button, interactive objects to be displayed at an exhibition called “one button objects,” in San Francisco, as part of the Gamma4 one button game event during the 2010 Game Developers Conference.
This presented a perfect opportunity to experiment with interactivity and sensor input for my Electric Window [...]

Chinatown Remixed 2010
Intro
Chinatown Remixed runs from May 8 to June 8, 2010, in Ottawa’s Chinatown district. This is the second year for the annual “art walking tour,” where local businesses, restaurants, and shops open their doors to collaborate with artists, providing art “exhibtions in unusual places.”
Last year, Deb and I made a “Chinatown Remixed” sign from electroluminescent [...]
Electric Window 4.xx
In addition to the advancements made to the Electric Window 3.xx series back in December, I also started a new light box series, Electric Window 4.xx:
This series revolves around a matrix of 16 LEDs with individually controlled brightness and fading, making it an organic/analog sibling to the 3.xx series which uses LED screens with a [...]
Electric Window 3.03
With the inspiration of using acrylic as an artistic/structural medium mixed with the notion of baring it all in terms of circuit board exposure, as outlined in this previous post, I set about to realize the next entry in the Electric Window 3.xx series with a new perspective:
[ Build details and more photos after the [...]
Electric Window 3.01
December ‘09 was a busy month! I made a lot of progress on my “Electric Window” light series, both developing it as a platform and getting a handful out there into peoples’ collections.
A big move was finalizing the framework for the 3.xx series, by reducing the “Electric Window (iii)” design from two screens to one:
In [...]
Window office
This is the third piece in my “electric window” series, which began in December of 2007 when I stuffed a small pre-made frame with EL wire and a decorative acrylic panel as an entry to Gallery 101’s annual fundraiser / art auction, 101 Frames.
The year after, I made another EL wire based piece, and animated [...]

My 2nd Arudino project
After encouraging results with my first Arudino project, Deb and I teamed up with Arduino again for our entry in Cube Gallery’s Nocturne show, a group exhibition dedicated to the beauty of the night sky.
As the only electronic artists in the show, we built a triptych of animated light boxes representing the stars of Orion’s [...]
My 1st Arduino project
I decided my participation in Ottawa Chinatown’s first Chinatown Remixed exhibition made for a great opportunity to try my hand at this whole Arduino thing. Given the front window of a local business in which to showcase a project, I envisioned an illuminated sign interacting with the pedestrian traffic out on the sidewalk.
