Photoset

On my trip to the Isle of Arran I experienced a completely new quality of light. These experiences of encountering our same sun interact so differently always astounds me. I also experienced this hiking in Scotland with what I referred to as the “silver light”. I hope when people visit my home of Southern California, they have similar experiences with our unique color of golden sunset.

When I took these photographs the sun was high in the sky; it was afternoon in high summer, nowhere near sunset. And yet the sky was imbued with rosey and amber hues contrasting with dark grey storm clouds and bright blue skies all simultaneously… It was all so much.

There’s some wicked stuff you can do with Kinect and openFrameworks. Starfield is simple, but beyond wonderful. 

Starfield is an installation where a swing is used to create a large interactive starry sky.

With a Kinect installed behind the swing and a video projector, the software creates a galaxy of stars in which the user wanders with the rhythm of his swing.

Created with openFrameworks, the application allows to configure almost any type of swing.

With anaglyph glasses, a 3D mode gives an even more immerse experience.
