back-lighting setup
control stationI was back at the Edison this week to work on lighting for a music video shoot. We broke out the LED PAR38s and 56s, a couple of scanners, the LED fresnels, strobe and the little red/green lasers; also used some of the house's ellipsoidals. Control was through a couple of DMX controllers plus a custom Max patch that I modified on-site as required

In 2005 I assembled a group of artists and musicians to create images and sounds in a live performance environment.

NASA lunar mission multitouch interface
The NASA lunar mission experience is a centerpiece to this exhibit, allowing users to learn about NASA's plans to construct an outpost on the moon.
Multiplayer games and multiuser experiences

typical trade show installation, Las Vegas 2007
Working with Inhance Digital, I've developed and deployed a number of multiplayer games and multiuser experiences in event environments, typically tradeshows.
Such a system consists of several kiosks (usually touchscreen-driven) and often includes some sort of central display (such as a plasma panel, array, or projection). All these elements are networked to allow the user's activity at each station to be reflected on the central display, or to allow a moderator (in the case of a multiplayer game) to control the action.
Some systems have included cameras and photo printers, taking snapshots of attendees and printing takeaway postcards while displaying a collage of user photos on the central screen.

Inhance VIP presentation system

Inhance VIP installation (projection)
The Inhance VIP system includes three synchronized display screens (LCD, plasma, or projection) and two control (presenter) stations. The three presentation screens may be sync'ed for playback of wide-format video content (video or 2d/3d interactive animation). The presentation is controlled by the presenter at one of the two control stations. The system runs on five independent computers, with control and synchronization via Ethernet LAN.
interactive "holographic" presentation systems

Intel boothWhile technically not holography, "holographic" panels such as the one shown here create a compelling, three-dimensional experience by combining rear-screen projection on a transparent surface with embedded touchscreen technology.
At Oracle Open World 2008, I did the application development and on-site install/support for this installation in the Intel booth that integrated three such panels, arranged in a triangle. The center of the staging was open and the three panels faced inward. The result was an environment in which a user interacting on one panel could also see beyond the panel to (the reverse of) the opposite panels and finally to the show floor beyond. This allowed participants to interact with the presentation without being closed off from the larger experience around them and gave the installation a very "open" feel.
Digital/interactive infrastructure for events
![]()
I was the interactive and technology lead for a number of events produced by Jack Morton Worldwide.
In November 2000, I served as lead technologist for the production of a major investment bank's annual technology conference. Tech 2000 consisted of four days of presentations by representatives of major technology companies (with as many as five presentations occuring simultaneously), keynote speeches, analyst discussions, and special events.
Working as a freelancer, from my studio as well as at the Jack Morton Worldwide Boston office and on site in Baltimore, I designed, budgeted, and led the development of the networked multimedia installation for the event. This installation was designed to help guide the attendees though a complex facility and schedule, to assist with communication and to answer questions, and also to show that this bank's conferences are on the cutting edge of technology.
The hotel atrium was the central traffic area between the entrance and the presentation rooms. Plasma displays ran a Director-based application with a Tech 2000 theme animation and real-time updating information such as the current presentations, schedule
Plasma displays at the entrance to each presentation room showed the name of the current presenter and the name of the presenter to follow. All information was automatically updated from the backend database.
