Work

I'm a creative technologist based in Toronto. I'm the kind of creative technologist who knows a bit about a lot of things (some of them technological, some not) and is excited about the possibility of putting together those things. Ideally in the world and off the screen and ideally playfully.

I am not the kind of creative technologist who wants to build you a facebook integrated microsite to drive brand awareness.

What?

Yeah, Creative technologist is a vague and variously defined term. Some examples of stuff I've done might help:

• Co-create a sound-reactive system to convert the sounds of the crowd in a public square into beautiful patterns of light in a huge outdoor installation.
• Augment a stationary bicycle so partygoers can pedal their way through a projected world of present day and 1800's Toronto blended together.
• Work with great local furniture designers to add LED lighting effects into their crazy creations.
• Build a 10ft christmas tree shaped stack of TVs out of laser cut cardboard boxes and then project fun stuff onto it.
• Co-create a space invaders style video game with controlled through a custom analog console.
