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.

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 a light projection. When one person walked by each speaker, a tone would play. And when one person walked by the projection, a bar of light would be displayed. But when two people coordinated their movements, a full spectrum of colours and tones would be displayed.

For the second installation, I designed and built three chandeliers from acrylic rods. Red LEDs shone through the rods according to a bird flocking simulation that was controlled by audience movement below.

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 time, number of purchases, etc.). As part of the performance, we negotiated and signed legal agreements for the intellectual property rights for each piece.

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 me to paint him as well, so I did.

In a second series, Kathy hung my body from the ceiling and invited audience members to puppet my limbs.
