Pixel-Width Portraits
2009 web application & ongoing photo series

A simple image processor made for design inspiration and joy, Pixel-Width Portraits exists as an ongoing photo series as well as a web application that allows anyone to upload and process an image.

Camera Family
2008 / interactive photograph

I decided to arrage all of the cameras found in my appartment for a sort of 'family portrait'. The result became an interactive photo gallery in which each camera's 'perspective' contributes to the final portrait.

AutoCombine
2008 / photo series & web application

Autocombine consists of a simple PHP script that searches through a folder of images and selects two at random to crop and combine into a single photo. The result is a simple tool to assist in unusual conceptualization and creative thought.

Lab/Play
2008 / performance

A space used strictly for formal observation and research is reappropriated as a site for nonsensical play and intimicy. The hour-long performance was looped and streamed "live" on the internet for a 24 hour period. Allowing the performers to exist simultaneously live in person and online.
