I’ve built the control system for Ann Hamilton’s Bullroarer installation at the Henry Gallery. This piece, with 21 independent mechatronic sound makers, is installed in the main space of the Museum for her show, Ann Hamilton: the common S E N S E, opening October 11th 2014.
I’m one of the artists presenting at the Seattle Art/Tech meetup this coming Monday. Meeting at our freshly renovated Ballard Fab Lab (my summer time labor of love).
