Pipa Vista

Kites, miniature spy and fpv cameras, smartphones Pipa Vista is an urban intervention and workshop series in which participants transform kites into frantically moving drones. Miniature cameras, attached to the kites, record and transmit fleeting personal perspectives from the sky. Floating in the wind, the camera kites are connected to the ground and manipulated only by a […]

Runway

Site-specific urban intervention. Sidewalk, red paint, modified radar speed sign. Runway transforms a section of a sidewalk into an interactive running, play, and exercise track. A modified radar speed sign invites pedestrians to test their personal speed limits from 3.0-19.9mph (in collaboration with Nick Tobier and Michael Flynn and supported by KaBOOM’s Play Everywhere grant). 2017 […]

Internet of Shoes

Interactive led shoelaces, wireless networking platform. The Internet of Shoes is an experimental swarm light installation and network for street-level interactions. In this installation, a group of pedestrians can perform collective actions on the street (e.g. triggering light waves that take hold of other participants) using interactive LED shoelaces that communicate with each other in […]

Solar Pink Pong

Interactive installation. Computer controlled colour mirror, motion sensor, solar panels. Solar Pink Pong is a hybrid of a street and video game. Players of this game can interact with an animated pink sunlight reflection on the street using their bodies and shadows. The device that makes this game possible works autonomously and completely off the […]

Rolling Shadows

Interactive installation, interactive mixed media assemblage (96 / 48 / 2 in). Miniaturized solar toy cars, shadows, sunlight. Hundreds of miniaturized solar toy cars fill the shadows of pedestrians who are standing still. When the pedestrians walk away, the sun hits the solar cells on the cars which causes them to move. The carefully arranged pixelated silhouettes disappear […]

Sewer Foamies

Installation, happening. Foam, sewer covers, ductwork, road surface. Sewer Foamies is a ground penetrating installation in which illuminated foam oozes out of the drains on a road junction ready for pedestrians to interact with. This foam-spill highlights the moments our urban environment is out of control – when culture and nature act as two disparate media that […]

Moon Ride

Interactive installation. Modified bike trainers, bicycles, cables, balloon light and muscle power.

Participants are invited to hook their own bikes up to bike trainers previously transformed into generators. Every step on the pedals generates electricity, illuminating a balloon light hovering in the night sky. The cyclists’ effort determines the brightness of the balloon.

Bump

Telematic installation. Moving boards, sensors, pneumatically operated pistons and internet.

This installation is composed of two interactive sidewalks that are set up in a public place in two different cities. With every step on the planks, an impulse is triggered and digitally transferred to the other city. The respective boards in that city then rise a few centimetres and vice versa.
