Post-Its
My office's internet security is so annoyingly tight that I can only get access to the internet and my email accounts through my iphone. Which is probably why, in the course of one particularly long and boring day at the office, I found myself experimenting with the iphone's incredibly convenient ability to take photographs and instantly send them to people.
I might have just been making a virtue out of a necessity, but I found it really satisfying to scribble out a letter on a set of tiny post-its and assemble them on my desk.

it all comes around again
This is an audiovisual equivalent of tossing an idea out and letting it circle for awhile before making some slight changes and sending it back out. The visuals are derived from some scans of butterfly wings that I made a while back.

F.T. Marinetti; “Foundation Manifesto of Futurism;” Le Figaro 1909
We had stayed up all night, my friends and I, under hanging mosque lamps with domes of filigreed brass, domes starred like our spirits, shining like them with the prisoned radiance of electric hearts. For hours we had trampled our atavistic ennui into rich oriental rugs, arguing up to the last confines of logic and blackening many reams of paper with our frenzied scribbling.
An immense pride was buoying us up, because we felt ourselves alone at that hour, alone, awake, and on our feet, like proud beacons or forward sentries against an army of hostile stars glaring down at us from their celestial encampments.
Lifesize Wireless Jigsaw Puzzle Game Installation Thingy
I have an idea for a semi-large scale installation. It's basically a giant jigsaw puzzle which requires people to work together to solve the puzzle. And by work i mean move.
(The puzzle could be a still photograph or maybe even running video.)
The idea is that over a given area--say 50ft by 50ft--each person's location can be triangulated. Each person playing the game will be matched to a given piece of the puzzle. The puzzle is projected on the wall or ceiling--somewhere where it's easy for all to view. As the people move, their piece of the puzzle moves along with them on screen.
As people move close to their true neighboring pieces--the ones they fit together with--their pieces can snap together on screen (and hopefully their are some auditory and visual clues like highlighting around successful piece matches).
As people are forming "groups" the groups may have to shift around together in order to continue to solve the puzzle while the other remaining pieces fall in line.
this is a first draft btw, so here are some things to figure out:
How can we triangulate locations of participants in such a relatively small field? It would be cool to be able to do it with WiFi or RFID--something people use everyday without really thinking about it--but i don't know how successful it can be.
How can we get a computer to slice up a puzzle randomly and assign random pieces to people?
