Blinking Monkey Hat

March 17, 2014

This project is a piece of wearable technology created with Arduino and an 8×8 LED matrix by Annelie Koller and Niki Selken. In our quest to program two 8×8 LED matrixes, we wanted to create a piece of wearable tech with blinking eyes.  First we thought of glasses that blinked, but after visiting the discount store to buy the glasses, we found this hat and settled on making a Sock Monkey hat with blinking eyes. Below is our first prototype.

Steampunk Clock

March 12, 2014

This is a Steampunk clock I coded in Processing and exported to javascript. It keeps time and the gears jump or rotate with each hour, minute and second.  It doesn't really tell the time, but who needs that out of a clock anyway?

Night Sky Web Animation

February 18, 2014

The Night Sky explores html5, CSS via Sass in the form of a night sky. I used css and the transition tag to create all of the animations you see. Click on the image to interact with the animation. Wait a little bit for the surprise at the end before leaving!

A lot of the AI conversation right now is about what machines can create.

A lot of the AI conversation right now is about what machines can create. This story is about what they might help us recover. Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed an AI Provenance Assistant to help researchers trace artworks stolen during the Nazi era—searching across fragmented historical records and surfacing connections that might otherwise take enormous amounts of time to find. The AI doesn’t decide who owns a work. Humans still have to verify the evidence. But it can help researchers find the evidence. To me, this is a much more interesting vision of AI: not replacing human expertise, but giving people new ways to navigate enormous amounts of human knowledge. And sometimes, helping recover a history someone tried to erase. Read the full NPR story at the 🔗 link in my bio. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ArtHistory #DigitalHumanities #CulturalHeritage
Today is the date Ray Bradbury imagined. August 5, 2026. In There Will Come Soft Rains, an automated house wakes, cooks breakfast, cleans, and reads poetry—long after the people it was built to serve are gone. On August 5th I awoke to a calendar reminder with a link to the story. I don’t remember making the event, but my past self was telling my future self something. So I think it’s worth taking a few minutes to read or listen to this short story. Written in 1950, the story feels eerily close today, as we live alongside AI assistants, smart homes, and increasingly autonomous systems. The machines work perfectly. The humans are gone. For perhaps the most fitting voice to guide us through Bradbury’s future, Leonard Nimoy reads the story in this haunting 1975 recording. 🎧 Listen to the complete recording through the link in my bio. Now that we’ve reached Bradbury’s imagined date, what part of his vision feels most relevant today? Audio: Leonard Nimoy reads Ray Bradbury’s There Will Come Soft Rains, originally released by Caedmon Records in 1975. #RayBradbury #LeonardNimoy #ThereWillComeSoftRains #August52026 #AI SpeculativeFiction ArtificialIntelligence SmartHomes FutureOfTechnology Bookstagram ClassicLiterature DystopianFiction
