ZER01 San Jose

Chico Macmurtrie Inflatable Architecture

Some images from the recently finished ZER01SJ Biennial, including my personal favs from the show:

Maria Del Camino, by Bruce Tomb

Thanks to Tymm Twillman and Chico Macmurtrie and everyone who helped to make this event a success.

This was the first time I used TouchOSC on an iPad to control the machines. We used TouchOSC to drive MAX/MSP which in turn drove an Arduino micro-controller. Fun stuff. iPad as portable multi-touch controller is good.

Chico MacMurtrie – Birds at Andrew Edlin Gallery

Two photos of Chico MacMurtrie‘s inflatable Birds sculpture at the Andrew Edlin Gallery in New York City. This is a beautiful piece, which consists of 16 inflatable robotic devices. I spent a few days programming this piece for Chico in the gallery, and we snapped these images on Chico’s iPhone.

I’m very impressed with the direction of Chico’s new work, which has been getting a good deal of press attention lately, too. It’s nice to see Chico’s work getting the attention I think it deserves.

If you are in the city, I recommend a trip to one of the pieces he has up now.

Chico Macmurtrie

skelli

Speaking of robots, here’s a fun picture of Chico Maurtrie and I from 2002. We were programming the sculpture in the picture, named Skelli, for a video shoot at Chico’s studio in Brooklyn.

Chico’s latest work, the Totemobile, was recently featured in Wired Magazine. Video below. Pretty darned cool.

And may you never go there :)

This is a picture from 1996, while programming the SDM (Super Dog Monkey) to walk for the Amorphic Robot Works show at The Lab in San Francisco. Plenty of cables for sure.
