our loss of event space in light of the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down public venues. I pitched the concept of designing interactive virtual festival events based on the structure of the web-based Twine game engine and designed the framework for what would become FEST. Under my direction, my team and I further developed this framework into a platform that supported robust online festivals, including with new features such as Shopify purchasing integration, embedded videos and live Twitch Streams, browser-based networking games, faster work pipelines, and more. I also would direct and organize each festival event alongside many other stakeholders, alongside producing and directing a live Twitch broadcast viewable alongside the event. At a time when the pandemic threatened to cancel many valuable exhibition opportunities for creatives around the world, FEST allowed for hundreds of Canadian and international creatives and vendors to showcase and sell their work in online festivals that are seen by thousands of remote patrons around the world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">FEST has been used for <strong>Virtual Canzine 2020<\/strong>, <strong>Long Winter 2021 (1 &amp; 2)<\/strong>, <strong>Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) 2021,<\/strong> <strong>Spring Canzine 2021, Comics X Games 2021,<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/handeyesociety.itch.io\/wordplay-2021\"><strong>Wordplay 2021<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/handeyesociety.itch.io\/super-festival-2022\"><strong>Super FESTival 2022<\/strong><\/a>, and Super FESTival 2023.

As a longstanding admirer of the DK Bongo controller, my goal was to hack this unique interface and repurpose its controls and sound sensor for various uses. I developed the source code in Pure Data as an open source library\/framework for anybody who wished to develop games or new media applications using the DK Bongo Controllers. To demonstrate its utility, I applied the Sparky Konga library to Unity to create an interactive audio-visual installation artwork.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Sparky Konga<\/em> was featured in Ryerson University&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imagearts.ryerson.ca\/maxex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maximum Exposure 2013<\/a><\/strong> gallery exhibition and is my first gallery exhibited work.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Novint Falcon Hacking Projects<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/55736524\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/55734711\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">These projects hacked the Novint Falcon, a specialized haptic video game controller, to re-invent how this powerful interface could be used for creative purposes using Processing and Max\/MSP.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">For the <strong>Falcon 3D Drawing<\/strong> project, the interface is used as an input device to allow for colourful 3D drawings in virtual space.

For my project, I designed a PONG controller that doubles as a drawing machine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">An Arduino circuit board is wired to a mechanical slider attached to a pen. Beneath the pen is a motor attached to a plastic cover holding a circular piece of paper. While playing PONG with this controller, the motor independently spins the paper beneath the pen, drawing lines as it spins and the pen moves. The result is a unique, one-of-a-kind art piece as record of each game of PONG. Despite its crude construction, my design made it a very stable and accessible interface to use, which would only be improved with better materials.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Class presentations were followed by a class PONG tournament, with students using their controller interfaces to play against each other. The precision and stability of my PONG Drawing Machine allowed me to win the class tournament, whilst drawing a unique record of each game in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Blind Bug<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-866\" src=\"http:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BlindBug-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BlindBug-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BlindBug-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grindspark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BlindBug-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">The Blind Bug is a small robot that operates purely based on sound. Created with an Arduino, motors, and sound sensors and inspired by my sensitive relationship with hearing loss, the Blind Bug will roam independently around environments and dynamically react based on its proximity to what it hears. If it hears a sound far away, it will be curious and investigate. If the sound is too loud and too close, it will get scared as it turns around and runs away. In addition, mandibles, powered by small motors give personality to the Blind Bug, moving in accordance to how it feels. The result is a responsive robot that feels like a living entity as it investigates sound stimuli.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My artistic practice makes heavy use of UX\/UI Design and Interactive Technologies and specializes in creating sophisticated physical and digital experiences.
