ALAVs (Autonomous Light Air Vessels) & Sun Microsystems
in collaboration with
Jed Berk
ALAVs, a traveling media art installation, are a flock of flying objects that integrated current and emerging Sun Microsystems technology into an artful entertainment experience—extending the brand's exposure into new markets.
As networked objects aware of their surroundings, the ALAVs sense and react communicating the concept of co-habitation and connectivity among people, objects, and the environment. Through performance and mass-participation ALAVs respond to each other and to people; engaging an audience with interactive play scenarios. With the use of mobile technologies people can influence the behavior of the ALAVs by starting conversations and building closer relationships with them, reflecting upon the current state of connectivity in our everyday lives.

Media Player - Model for Design Research
A working product prototype designed to respond to virtual content by translating information from mp3 music blogs. The experimental interface uses hand manipulation and object-based browsing to construct associative links between songs. It promotes an alternate way to experience and discover music by constructing dynamic playlists; an emergent aggregation of blogs and music is determined by physical construction and interactive play with an object.
Prototyping for an emerging practice-based research methodology that promotes designed objects as tools for critical reflection. It serves as an alternative to existing strategies by channeling research findings through symbolic material objects. more newecologyofthings.net
Tangible Browser - Model for Design Research
A speculative prototype, simulated using RFID technology, designed to navigate online news content by re-arranging modular forms and building mechanical connections. A curated journey through virtual material is initiated and represented aesthetically by a constructed object. Physical shapes symbolically represent relationships between online information.
This speculative design process doesn’t necessarily define a specific problem to solve, but establishes a provocative starting point from which a design process emerges. The result is an evolution of fluctuating iteration and reflection using designed objects to provoke questions and stimulate discussion in academic and research settings. more newecologyofthings.net
Construction as Research
Abstract models used as a strategic material exploration; creating form situated in the context of a critical studio environment establishes a vocabulary and facilitates the ability to articulate ideas.
The act of construction and reflecting becomes a means of exploration and investigation, implementing an iterative process of making and writing simultaneously. It used form building as a means of analysis and discovery by thinking and acquiring knowledge through one’s method of construction. more
