Things I enjoy. Games, Computing, Design, Art.

Electronic Popables by Jie Qi

Absolutely gorgeous electronic pop-up book design. This came out of the MIT High-Low Tech Group which is run by Leah Buechley. I was fortunate to see her presentation at a CO-LAB event last year when she was still out here in Colorado. She’s doing some of the most interesting work anywhere on the intersections of gender, technology, geekdom, and play.

Untitled Art Show Episode 42: Guest Josh Fishburn

Last Wednesday I was invited to be a guest on the Untitled Art Show, a weekly audio podcast focused on the Denver Arts Scene. I really enjoyed being on the show and having the opportunity to talk about my work. In case you didn’t get a chance to check it out, you can listen in the player above. Feedback/conversation is welcome in the comments.

Insider Moment at the Denver Art Museum

Here’s a fun photo of our artist group which is producing the 39N - 104W installation (sans Brigid McAuliffe, who could not make this photo shoot) at the Denver Art Museum as part of this fall’s Embrace! exhibit. From left to right: David Fodel, Joshua Fishburn, Nick Meyers, Timothy Weaver. Today (Tuesday, October 20th) at Noon there will be an “Insider Moment” with Timothy Weaver, who will be available to talk about the work and answer questions, as well as show the work in progress. The piece is being installed in the Fusebox space on the 4th floor of the DAM.

I’ve been building a software component in Max/MSP that selects and arranges audio based on years of Denver weather data. In general, the piece is a creative interpretation of the ecological history and memory of the point on earth that the Denver Art Museum now occupies.

Gaming the Network Poetic - So Far

I submitted Gaming the Network Poetic to the Prospectives.09 International Digital Arts Festival call earlier this week. Part of the submission process was putting together the Flickr gallery linked above for documentation. I wanted to post it here for those interested in the project, as it shows the progress of the project from concept to (near) completion.

Gaming the Network Poetic - Assembly Photos Round 1

Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks of the assembly stages of my project. Right now it looks a bit like a coffin, but eventually this thing will have a monitor mounted on each face of the pentagon, computers sitting inside the box, and a playable game on each screen. I’m also planning to attach a white plastic layer to each face to give the whole assembly a cleaner look.
