The goal of this project is to create a library with stories of people's lives in a digital format. An AI would gather data about the person, and the person themselves would also add to their memorial, making a curated memorial of data of the person's. The people wanting to view another person's data would have a face scan and would be able to access relevant public profiles (friends, family, celebrities), and would be given an RFID chip to activate the leap motion screen with the chosen data.

Allow user to forget negative aspects of a memory.

A bowl/plate that captures a series of photos of your face when you eat what's in it. The embedded technology allows for "food" eats (you) first instead of our "phones eating first". I aim to subvert foodie culture and the desire to post pictures of our food on social media. This media capture could serve as a space for reflection and mindful eating. Do we capture our food to truly remember it or to show others? When is eating considered a highlight? What memories of consumption should we store?

This project changes light colors based on movement within a stairwell. It deals with reflective/non-reflective surfaces that further manipulate the overall effect of the light in the stairwell area, creating an other-worldly experience.

Traffic Push is an interactive installation which allows for passive interaction by providing a visual of google maps traffic data abstracted into a slow moving animation. The voice enabled 'play mode' allows you to actively gesture to manipulate this animation.
