"The Patternists specialized in cerebral asymmetry. With grossly expanded right-brain hemispheres, they were highly intuitive, given to metaphors, parallels, and sudden cognitive leaps. Their inventive minds and quick, unpredictable genius had given them a competitive edge at first. But with these advantages had come grave weaknesses: autism, fugue states, and paranoia. Patternists grew out of control and became grotesque webs of fantasy." - Bruce Sterling Schismatrix Plus

Desert Museum Installation

If you've been to the 'cave' exhibit at the Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson Arizona in the last year, you might have seen an installation I created. It's a touch screen interface concerning subjects of climate change that mirrors on a large video screen. I built it in Flash as a stand-alone application, designed the interface and edited all the video included. Working with Earth Knowledge, the museum staff, and oversight of NASA who's grant made it possible, I'm pretty proud of the outcome. (There was no money to document the piece so I put this together with my iPhone.)
