| Transforming
Ideas (comissioned for the Mary Baker Eddy Library) is a twin
chanel installation in which participants' movements reveal messages.
Users rub away bits of a colored cloud by moving back and forth across
the projection. Eventually, words are revealed which float to the
top of the projection and eventually accumulate into a longer quote.

| Drawing
from Life is a unique interactive experience comissioned by the
American Museum of Natural History for their Genomic Revolution
exhibit. Drawing from Life transforms museum-goers into a life-sized
projected mirror in which they are composed of the letters that represent
DNA. Flickering 'A's 'T's 'G's and 'C's dance on a dark background
mirroring viewer's motions and gestures in real time. The interaction
is transparent and fluid as viewers recognize and play with their
transformed images. more

| A multi-user
video tracking installation that generates interactive spirograph-like
shapes projected onto a flat circular projection surface (or table)
approximately 5 feet in diameter. Projected interactive drawings are
composed of abstract shapes and lines. The interactive drawings change
based on the number and position of people around the circle. The
piece cycles through a number of different drawing modes including
a mode that connects everyone around the circle with modulating lines
[pictured right], and a mode where people can play a game of "pong"
with each other around the circle. more |

| The Luminous
Flux installation [shown here installed for a Sheseido press party
in Paris] represents the moving vertical edges of a viewer in one
color, and moving horizontal edges in another. As participants interact
with the piece, in real time, their movements accumulate. A magical
and fleeting effect is created as abstract traces of time are captured
and then fade slowly away. Everyday trajectories of limbs and bodies
are frozen for a moment - allowing us to briefly glimpse their beauty.

| In the
Visual Resolve installation, live video of participants is
recreated out of a series of small icons or images loaded into the
installation. Participants encounter a live but abstracted version
of themselves on a projection screen. The reconstructed imagery reads
on two levels - the level of the icons, and the level of the overall
image. Many variations of Visual Resolve have been realized
by changing the icons and images. more |

| Written
Forms maps three separate texts, one each, into the dark, medium
and light areas of a live video. When viewed from a distance this
collage of words melts into the recognizable image of people in the
installation space. By moving their bodies to reveal different parts
of the text, participants can actually decipher words and meaning
in the various layers. more |

| The Composition
installation turns real-time video of participants in into text. The
specific array of characters may be altered easily to accomodate names
or short messages. more

| Text
Rain (created by Camille Utterback & Romy Achituv) is a playful
interactive installation that blurs the boundary between the familiar
and the magical. Participants use the familiar instrument of their
bodies, to do what seems magical - to lift and play with falling letters.
Participants view a mirrored projection of themselves in black and
white, combined with falling, colored text. Like rain or snow, the
text lands on participants' heads and arms. The text responds to the
participants' motions and can be caught, lifted, and then let fall
again. more |
