An installation at the Waterfront Canada Line station escalators. The piece was a computer-generated maze that had a hidden message that was viewable only through the red-tinted windows from across the street.

CiTR Radio
For a number of years, I worked as the in-house designer for CiTR 101.9 FM radio. I created a number of ad campaigns, posters, and internal documents. One of my favourite projects was the annual FunDrive, where CiTR does a week of call-in donations to support the station. Each year was a different theme. One… Continue reading CiTR Radio
Gross Density Parcel
Group show in Surrey. A homeowner left their land in disarray for a long time and a group of artists were invited to make works using the detritus left around. My piece was a back-projected window made to look like the reflection of a TV’s colours on someone’s curtains when viewed from an alleyway.
Concatenation
A group show where each piece was a digital riff off of the previous. Each artist had just a few days to remix and respond to one before it. My original riff on the left, and the eventual remix on the right.
Please destroy my piece
For a solo installation and exhibition, I hung string across a gallery, placed scissors at the other end, and dared visitors to cut their way through. Some dared, most did not.
Beaty Biodiversity Museum
When I worked at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, I created a number of displays for their permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. One of the most ambitious was a show that ran along the whole length of their 75+ foot back wall. It was a collaboration with the BC society for Children’s Writers and Illustrators featured… Continue reading Beaty Biodiversity Museum
Don’t worry, I’ll pray for you
For one exhibition/performance, I set up a confessional booth in an office. The people who worked there recorded confessions that were later played on loop on many hanging speakers in a room. Some were written on a piece of paper and torn up.
Light & Music
For one research project, I was hired to do the physical design of a two-part interactive installation series. Working with a team of musicians and one other artist, we created interactive works that sensed body movements and translated into audio and light displays. One installation was a 8-ft long box of speakers sitting across from… Continue reading Light & Music
EyeMole’s Art Sale
Eyemole was an interactive arts cooperative that engaged in corporate roleplay. For one show, we bought a set of cheap paintings and created augmented reality overlays as the hidden digital artwork. The artworks were hooked into an e-commerce platform that updated the artwork’s exchange value based on different algorithms for each piece (duration of viewing… Continue reading EyeMole’s Art Sale
Performance: manipulated bodies
In collaboration with artist Kathy Yan Li, we created a series of performances that dealt with digital and physical body manipulations. In two performances, I painted Kathy with white paint and invited audience members to Photoshop her live. In once performance, an audience member felt it was unfair to have only Kathy painted, and wanted… Continue reading Performance: manipulated bodies
