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 prototype programming
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 . . .
The LEDs are on the wall
I’ve officially begun my residency at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in NYC:
[ Eyebeam bio ]
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 [...]
One Button Objects
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 [...]
Light cube prototype
Continuing to turn inspiration into reality, Deb and I unpacked our new table saw, installed the acrylic-capable blade, and got to work cutting and gluing. The result is a prototype for a new series of light boxes/cubes:
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 [...]
