Documentation:

One Free Minute is a mobile sculpture designed to allow for instances of anonymous public speech.

Ground Station, in collaboration with Quebecois composer Jocelyn Robert, makes music from GPS satellite data, while questioning the infrastructure from which this data comes.

Shift Shift is an interactive work that questions how technology changes the familiarity of a simple body movement. Viewers who interact with Shift become involved in a dialogue of control, seeing their own movements reproduced across the room.

Room for Walking looks at the conception of physical space that we are presented with by remote sensing technologies.

Untitled Ball was the first in a series of works investigating the interactive environment in a bodily, kinaesthetic way.
