update: she’s beautiful
it's been over a year since the start of the most fulfilling project i've worked on. hard to believe that it'll be exhibited to over 1 million people at @nuitblancheTO this weekend rhythms of chaos started out as @inspiredbybinal, @maggie_wng, and i's brain child last september. since then, the team has grown to over 20 members @prismcollectiv_ of dedicated, and passionate engineers and artists. huge kudos to the entire team, truly prism wouldn’t be what it is without you if you’re in the area this weekend, I urge you to come check us out at Wychwood Barns

SCIENCE DESERVES CELEBRATION. I'm proud to announce the most important project of my career so far: VOLUME 1: the first-ever researcher-creative art exhibition in SF. Opening night (Nov 17th) celebrates 10 researchers who translate their work beyond papers into physical artifacts, fashion, and interfaces. Growing up, I was inspired by the Renaissance and The World’s Fair, moments in time that made science tangible and worth exhibiting. When I was at MIT, the Media Lab was this magical place where science and art coexisted and technology was made into beautiful artifacts. This year, researchers have been pummeled by grant freezes, funding cuts, and apathy toward an entire generation of scientists. The Media Lab was not spared. In a time where people are skeptical, even fearful, of science, the only way forward is by making it tangible and beautiful. Come meet the people working on science you can touch, hold, and share. RSVP below.

Turns out Waterloo is also an art school. Meet the Prismwrights. @prismcollectiv_ is a collective of scientists bending code and hardware into exhibits: waterbending, kinetic creatures, bass-playing robots. This is a story about engineering as art. Full piece below.

behind the scenes of what @oliviazhg & i made for @HackTheNorth this year :) we made a fashion-tech statement piece on the concept of personal space, where kinetic petal components create a personal bubble, and LEDs alert both others and yourself when someone is too close.
