Imaging Vancouver is a complimentary project to the performance work Mesoshpere.  Imaging Vancouver is a further investigation to the intersections between body, environment, and technology. Specifically, to explore relationships between individual identity and place through technology mediated representations. 

Participants are invited to interact with the system.  A persons body in space is mapped using the Kinect 3D capture camera.  The depth map data is combined with pixel information from video footage of street level activity in Vancouver.  The resulting artifact, somewhat reminisce of the brain scans reading peoples dreams, is the viewers body seen as individual of components of the video, like a real-time stencil.

This work is my first piece to explore interactive wearable art.  three distence sensors are carefully embedded in flowers  on my dress. a lilypad arduino, a speaker, and batteries are  hidden on the back of the fan I hold and become invisible for the viewers. when the viewers use a microphone to close exame the body to search signal, sharp sounds will occur.

These African Tongue Drums were completed to inform the development of my grad project ('Sound Resonating Furniture').  They were created to assess the resonance capabilities of a variety of imported and domestic hardwoods.  The top sound-boards are African Padauk Hardwood, used for tonal resonance.
