As a continuation of my Personal Statement, here is a suggestion for the kind of project that I would be interested in producing. This is a rough draft, and requires refining (and may not be the project I work on in the end), but I think it gives a framework for the direction of my practice. (more…)

Kentaro Fukuchi originally built this simple controller for an art installation. He needed an easy way for visitors

to switch effects on an EffecTV system. To avoid writing device

drivers he canabilized a cheap game pad. There were 16 available buttons but only 12 were needed. Once the rotary

switch was wired to all of the buttons he could use simple scripting to grab the button press events. You could use

this to control a variety of things and Kentaro gives a couple possible ideas on his site.
