I had considered posting about The Battle of Brooklyn again.  I finally signed up to Skype and made my first call through my laptop to São Paulo: it was like using the telephone for the first time.  Pretty amazing. Anyway, I got over that and Julio and I spent over an hour working out the [...]

Originally for Day 4, I planned on making a single wood sculpture with whatever scrap wood we had in the shop. I thought I’d make something sort of symmetrical with small blocks. After completing the sculpture, I decided that I couldn’t stay away from technology and that making just one sculpture wasn’t enough. Inspired a [...]

For day 3 of the 4-in-4, I made a Blender model of an Atari cartridge, specifically, “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” from 1983. This model is the first step on a large project I’m undertaking: a diorama depicting a hoard of millions of ET cartridges buried in a dump outside of Alamogordo, NM. When Atari undertook the [...]

It was so nice today, I decided to take a walk and take some pictures. The best of reside here on flickr Here’s a sampling.

So I actually ended up spending yesterday researching the history of The Battle of Brooklyn–also known as The Battle of Long Island–for a game Julio Terra and are working on for Come Out and Play. The game would consist of two teams defending and conquering territory in the current landscape with reference to the landscape [...]

In my continuing effort to do things at 4-in-4 that I’ve never done before, for Day 3, I wanted to do a video project. I wanted to come up with one question to ask people on the floor. I started out thinking something abstract would work, like “where are you going?”, but I decided in [...]

Yesterday, for the day 2, I made a semi-randomly generated 8-bit song. Way back during orientation week, a few of us were talking about music, as you do when you’re just getting to know a new group of people. Specifically, Marko Manriquez and I shared our enthusiasm for Aphex Twin. We talked about the incredible [...]

Yesterday, for day 1, I organized a trip up to the Retro Arcade Museum in Beacon, NY. The museum is filled with arcade cabinets from the 60s and 70s, most of which are electromechanical rather than digital. Together they form a kind of encyclopedia of a lost age of engineering where a vast literature of [...]

For Day 2 of 4-in-4 I promised myself I’d make a max/msp patch. I’ve done max purely with midi, but I’ve yet to do anything with audio. The patch takes in audio in 2 second chunks and randomly assigns it to a buffer. While that’s happening a random buffer is selected for playback and routed [...]
