		<description>This project is a result of a graduate workshop in social practice conducted by Bernard Canniffe, Chair of Design at MCAD. Through collective dialogue conducted over the course of an afternoon we created an informal organization which focused on learning about all forms of alternative engagement with public space. DEAD SPACE became a lose collective as well as an information hub focusing on creative public intervention. 
Helium + Latex balloons

For this installation we used 600 multi-color helium balloons to fill up a glass-enclosed bus stop, eventually allowing all of the balloons to escape into the atmosphere when the project was completed.

Everyday we are routinely confronted with fixed templates and structures we have to interact within. Individuals surrender to  these ideals while participating in the repetitious compulsions that govern their relations and choices. This installation focuses on Powerpoint as a template for individual expression while acting as a platform for the communication of identity, choices, and of course business plans.

Furniture design by Steve Listwon. Structure inspired by a blank Powerpoint template. 

Installation was created for Madeline Sorenson's POWERPOINT show.

		<description>IEEE VisWeek is the premier forum for visualization advances for academia, government, and industry, bringing together researchers and practitioners with a shared interest in tools, techniques, technology and theory. 

Art Show:
Art and visualization have always shared a close relationship.  Today, it seems closer than ever.  Traditional and new media artists are redefining the way that we view science and information, while experts in science, medicine, informatics, and visualization are impacting art practice through new ideas, technologies, and collaborations.  The VisWeek 2012 Art Show aims to showcase the exciting and increasingly prominent intersections between art and visualization while fostering new thinking, discussion, and collaboration between artists, designers, technologists, visualization scientists, and others working at the intersection of these two fields. 

Special thanks to my Art Show Co-Chairs: 
Dan Keefe, University of Minnesota
Bruce Campbell, Rhode Island School of Design

Also, many thanks to the 2012 Art Show exhibitors:

Data-driven mark developed for the University of Minnesota's Interactive Visualization Lab. 

 A 9 point system was created to represent each individual computer in the lab. The data linked to the line variations moving through the template are based upon; number of lab members logged in, number of saves to the source control repository each week, number of lines of code committed to the source control repository each week, and average Virtual Realty system load for every 15 minutes. 

The background colors are generated from a live camera in the lab:
maroon: lights on and activity in the lab
gold: lights on but not much activity
white: daytime hour in Minneapolis, MN - but no lights on in the lab
black: nighttime in Minneapolis, MN - but no lights on in the lab

The mark updates with each reload of the page. View website here.
