Collaboration with Patchy Projects and DMBT. We created an installation at Digital Art Demo Space that allowed participants to use a paint roller to paint in between several video layers. I designed the new color picker interface and the new video layers. Participants could tap the sides to toggle video layers.

I am the director of Digital Art Demo Space, a new media gallery, maker-space, residence, and venue for interactive art, games, comedy, performance and music located in Bridgeport Chicago.

I'm looking for artists and curators who would like to use the space in unconventional ways. I'm interested in performances, game exhibitions (physical and digital), VR/AR, mixed reality, immersive installations, art & tech, and workshops. We accept proposals at info@dadschicago.com

Had the privilege of being interviewed by Erisa Apantaku of SouthSideWeekly a few weeks ago and the audio and are located on their site

This was an installation for Digital Art Demo Space as part of the pre-show for Nothing Up My Sleeve show that would project a unique distinctly textured 'aura' onto each individual person and allow Hannah Simon Kim to provide personalized interpretations of the shapes.

This trick was accomplished using Unity scripts, a Microsoft Kinect hidden above the projector, and a lot of calibrating.
