learning the ropes

I received word that 4MP (a reincarnation of my rope&pulley system) has been accepted for exhibition at Maker Faire New York.  Come out and join me for some improvised dance music.

An interview done by Alex Matthews at Calit2:

Today was the first day of setup for “Overheard” at gallery@calit2 at the University of California – San Diego.

Our load-in went smoothly and by the end of the day, we had all of the technical elements in place: conversations loaded on 20 LCD panels, custom software driving a continuous images spanning across 3 projectors, 2 rope&pulley units installed, and custom software driving 6 channels of simultaneous audio.

Tomorrow we will begin by taking the time to observe the combination of the technical elements with the content in the gallery space and from there, decide how to shape those elements.

I’m feeling good.  Wendy is feeling good.  Many thanks to fine staff at the gallery for all of their assistance in getting us up and running.
