Inside the Artist's Studio is a radio program hosted by a robotic Chimpanzee named James Chimpton. Chimpton's brain is powered by a markup language I created called ABSML, or Dynamic Prose Markup Language. The result is rather absurd - a clothed robotic monkey, interviewing artists in the Biennial about their work, in a robotic english accent.

Anywhere But HERE! is a playful examination of the use of party photography as social currency. Participants use an assortment of props, costumes, and computer-aided special effects to fake being at an imaginary location

Invisible Threads is a mixed reality performance installation created by Eyebeam artists Jeff Crouse and Stephanie Rothenberg. The project explores the growing intersection between labor, emerging virtual economies and real life commodities through the creation of a designer jeans sweatshop in the metaverse Second Life. Simulating a real life manufacturing facility that includes hiring Second Life "workers" to produce real world jeans sold for profit, the project provides an insider's view into current modes of global, telematic production.

Stephanie Rothenberg and I ran a workshop at the 2007 Holiday Hackshop called "Making your own print-and-wear clothing". We created patterns for many different kinds of clothes and accessories, invited workshop participants to fill them in using graphics from the web or taken on a digital camera, and then printed them on fabric on a large-format printer.

Gearbox is the outcome of twelve-months development work between the MediaShed and Eyebeam Art and Technology Centre in New York, to create a resource for low-budget filmmaking. Comprised of “how to” step by step examples, Gearbox shows people innovative ways of recording footage using unusual combinations of found resources (such as CCTV Video Sniffin' or Spy Kiting) and low-budget methods of reproducing professional film making techniques (for example, achieving a crane shot using a fishing pole).

Participants exchange Halloween costumes over the course of the evening, surprising each other with the outfits that they must wear. Those who do not take part are outfitted with costumes on the premises. Hilarity ensues.

YouThreebe is a tool that allows users to make triptychs out of YouTube videos.

A Dirt Party is a gathering where the guests are scrutinized during the course of the party using resources from the Web. The results are presented to the other guests in a variety of ways. The first Dirt Party took place at the Eyebeam 10th Anniversary Benefit, where the output was a series of dynamically generated tabloid covers.

Earthify takes a page of Craigslist posts and maps them on Google Earth. It has been tested with both search result pages and browse pages in several categories. The results are divided into "Earthifyable Listings" and "Un-Earthifyable Listings", the un-earthifyable ones being those that could not be located based on the location provided by the user. In my tests, the listings are Earthifyable more often than not, but it really depends on how much information is in the posting.

Hit! or Sh!t is a media delivery system that recommends media that the user is likely to enjoy based on submitted ratings, and also creates networks between the users based on both real-world connections and statistically-generated ones. Original concept by David Jimison. Funded by mtvU Digital Incubator. Hit! or Sh!t was built using Flash and SOAP (PHP/MySQL).

Project Ultra-Violence is an exploration of the use of video in a virtual 3D interactive space. The user finds herself in a burlesque theatre, where she can take control of a set of mannequins and guide them around the theatre. When the curtain goes up, the mannequins are transported to the stage, where the user views clips from "A Clockwork Orange" projected onto their bodies.

Operation Clyde is a multiplayer game which utilizes cell phones as the control device. In Operation Clyde, players control ghosts using the number pad on their cell phone, by calling into one of the game's phone numbers. Operation Clyde was premeired at the Georgia Tech Living Gameworlds Symposium. I was co-programmer and game designer.

A game inspired by the Maris de France lai, Laüstic in which the player must cover the princess with blood by hurling dead nightingales at her. To make the duck bloody, the player must first break the nightingale's neck, just like the knight in the poem. The game takes the form of the popular NES game, Duck Hunt.

As an intern at TellTale games, I contributed to the production of the CSI Las Vegas game and gave feedback on plotlines and the TellTale game authoring engine.

As an intern at Telltale Games I worked on the CSI game, using the Telltale game tool to assemble all of the different elements of the game, from 3d models to the storyline to the camera movement. I also gave feedback on the case plotlines, and assisted the engineers with improving the game tool.

As the lead programmer on the IDT web team, I developed an intranet on the IDT website where students can log in and get various forms, edit their profiles, and take surveys, among other functions.

Flow is a small applet that I created in Michael Mateas' class, "Computation as an Expressive Medium".

Bounce is a short video about regret and despair, from the point of view of a tennis ball. This video is part of a longer piece that follows the tennis ball on an adventure from the IDT lab to the Skiles courtyard.

WebFight visualizes the amount of text and external links on a given page. Each link on a page spawns another node on the perimeter of its parent, traveling four levels deep per site. Blogs are particularly interesting in this visualization.

Rebecca Ross began the Witness Project many years ago, but in the summer of 2003, it needed an upgrade. It is a screen-saver that visualizes Death Row information from the Texas Department of Justice website.

The Carnivore Server is a surveillance tool, invented by Alex Galloway and the Radical Software Group, that monitors all traffic on the network on which it is run. In the Summer of 2003, I became the first official intern of the RSG. In this capacity, I created a Flash template for Carnivore Clients, and contributed to the completion of the OS X version of the Carnivore Server, which uses the Packet Capture Library (pcap) to monitor all traffic on the network on which it is run, and then sends this information to all connected clients. In the process, I learned about Interprocess Communications, including socket connections.

Rebecca Ross's class, "Pixels and Bits", left me with a taste for simulations, so I decided to pursue an independent study on the topic. Since I wanted to focus more on the issues involving simulation than the programming itself, I decided to use the Breve programming environment. This site shows my experiments, as well as some of my thoughts about simulations.

Stock Patrol publishes reports about stock fraud and general badness in the industry. I made a content management system and an integrated e-commerce system.

Taught by Rebecca Ross in the Fall of 2002, the aim of the course was to explore the question, "What are digital images made of and how can we get our hands dirty creating them?". Each student was required to present his work - a series of Java applets - on a website. This is mine. You can view all of the works, or skip directly to the final presentation.

The Einstein Project is a Flash presentation made for an independent study on popular theoretical physics.

This site started as simply a repository for my own stories, but in the summer of 2002, anxious to try out my SQL and PHP skills, I decided to open it up to anyone else who was interested in posting their stories. Although currently sparse because of a server crash in 2005, it once included full-featured publishing tools.

Misha (Formscience) and I created this site in the late 90s. I wrote some simple CSS.

This document is the written portion of my MS defense at Georgia Tech. It is a survey of artworks that use live information sources, and a study of how emerging web technologies can encourage this type of art. Finally, it proposes Switchboard, my library for real-time art, and discusses the design and implementation of it.
