Emocapsule - Interactive Art Installation Video

Senior Project fair is just around the corner. I've been working with my team (Hannah Johnston, Alicia Landry, and Jordan Shaw) on an interactive art installation built in Processing. In a nutshell it is an interactive system where people can play around with text relating to certain emotions via input from the Internet.

My role was lead developer for this project. As it was my first attempt in creating and developing an installation piece, I must say I've learnt a whole lot about it. Music credits goes to my fav artists Nujabes, Force of Nature and Fat Jon for O.S.T Samurai Champloo Impression album.

Mini Cooper x eepmon

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates. Been extremely busy balancing my crazy schedule. One reason for my lack of updates is because I have been working on an exclusive collaboration with Mini Cooper Canada's annual 2008/2009 calendar.

This is 13 illustrative project - each month has a different illustration complimenting each MINI! The physical calendar is minimalist in design - about 5x7in that sits nicely on a table and will be distrbuted to every Mini financial dealerships...so yea if you are planning on checking out a Mini, be on the look out for this calendar.

Also BIG shout out goes to the TAXI crew especially to Chris Zawada for making this collab possible! Its all about the late nighters!

I'll post acutal pics of it as soon as I get a hold of one, meanwhile you can check it out on my projects page.

eepmon easter egg...

So yea, its been almost a year since eepmon v.3 Flash launched. I must say that this site has gone far and realized some of my goals that I wanted in an immersive interactive site. Anyhow, for those who don't know, there is an easter egg in my site. Nothing special in regards to functionality but it looks cool I think. For anyone interested I've posted a pick of it and the hint to access it is there too.

The Story Through Design

I am very excited to announce the completion of an installation project created for Fleming Creative Group - an awsome design firm located in Vancouver, Canada.

This piece spans approximately 200x90 inches (5.08x2.28 meters).

The theme behind this piece revolves around the firms philsophy: "The Story Through Design". On both sides we have the brain storm period where creative thought and energy flow together in continuim stream. This stream funnels down into a singularity representing the fine tuning of ideas and ultimately into the 3 brands under Fleming Creative Group (Fleming Design, Design for Real Estate, and Switch Interactive) as the care taker of the ideas. This is the Story Through Design well...at least in my mind.

The illustration will be divided into 5 separate panels and will be installed and floated on a curved surface in the reception area of the firm. Image 2 is the mock up concept. Check out the Project section for a slightly bigger version.

I must say it was a very passionate project to work on and fortunate to have creative freedom in visioning this piece.

I will post production pictures and the actual installed piece hopefully soon so stay tuned...
