Gradient Lamp
The lamp is connected to the internet and extracts the color of the sky in 2 found surveillance cameras that are on the exact other side of the world. One is in Asia and the other in America. The lamp is in constant motion following the skycolor of both earth sides.

light from tomorrow
It centres on an expedition to The Kingdom of Tonga, where tomorrow’s outdoor light-readings are broadcast in close to real time through The International Dateline to today; specifically to a lightbox installed in the San Jose Museum of Art in California.

All My Friends
A sonification project in which I acquired portraits of my friends, and used the raw JPEG data to convert the images to piano music. The music is then dubbed on to cassette tapes which are then arranged to add a sculptural element to the project.

H3333333K !Mediengruppe Bitnik
For H3333333K !Mediengruppe Bitnik translate a digital image error, a glitch, onto the façade of the museum «House of Electronic Arts Basel» (HeK). Applied directly onto the architecture of the building, the glitch misaligns the elements of the façade, bringing disturbance to an otherwise settled structure.
Large-scale Image Memorability
LaMem is an attempt to predict the memorability of an image.
This work demonstrates that one can now robustly estimate the memorability of images from many different classes, positioning memorability and deep memorability features as prime candidates to estimate the utility of information for cognitive systems.
