JavaLamp

To: 
Present
From: 
1994

Okay, maybe it shouldn't be in my portfolio.

I had just received an email containing the Java 1.0 Specification. I was wicked excited.

Pulled an all-nighter. And if you mess with the timing and sort of squint, it does have a swirly, Lava Lap quality, though the dynamics are not quite right.

Problem Definition: 

To master Java AWT (Java 1.0)

Approach: 
To parameterize: Moore's Law. Actually by adjusting the timing loops down, the effect isn't all too bad. An internal method added to the init() could look for processor speed and scale the parameters. In my next life perhaps.

ePostings was a strtup specializing in rule-based email filtering.

Designed email farm, sorting farm, and storag architecture, along with the usual ERD's and other artifacts of development process.

Problem Definition: 

How to effectively manage email for the busy professional.

Approach: 
A system which touches many functions requires many protocols: Java, HTML, PL/SQL, PERL, and server architectures were each critical parts of the whole.

Problem Definition: 

Build out a flexible, reusable application framework to accept a variety of flash based sports games with over 100,000 users.

Approach: 
As I was working onsite on a reusable application, documentation was absolutely key.

FIDGET

To: 
1997
From:

The presentation of Fidget is a collaboration between the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, Printed Matter and Stadium.

A performance/art project in which I map in a variety of protocols and languages an immersive experience of the olfactory zones on Spring Street, Soho.

Problem Definition: 
  • How is data gathered?
  • How to indicate kinesthetic/movement parameters?
  • How can the model/data gathering become a distributed application??
Approach: 
Basic geometry at first. Second step was to add live wind feeds to better indicate the melding of smells.
Result: 
Lectured, presented results at Pratt Institute.
