Chatter and Listening: For three bird boxes, is an interactive installation using a distributed network of sounding robots. The behaviour of the robots emerges from a multi-agent system modelled after a bird behaviours. The installation comprises of three bird boxes with electronics and audio, located in a small grove of trees. These objects act as single entities; they can create decisions, observe their environment and operate alone. They also act in the narrative of a colony where each agent is guided in behaviour by the state of the colony and its surrounding environment.

site, sound, touch: Composing You, an interactive outdoor project, engages community park goers in a multitude of ways. An experiential sonic walk encompasses ephemeral moments of past, present and future in Beacon Hill Park, using personal mobile phones and GPS to locate plants hanging from designated trees. Sound and light will activate the moment plants are touched. A personal musical composition will be formed depending on individual navigation routes.
