Are you going to Index tonight? It’s the end of year show for the UTS Architecture school, with work being exhibited from all 5 years. Go check it out!
Today I spent some time going through earlier posts, making small tweaks or edits to image sizes – bringing the site back up to date with the new theme (courtesy of subtraction.com). Something that came to mind during this was that I haven’t been using this site as a sketchpad or notebook as much [...]
Lately I’ve been working my way through an academic requirement for all phd students at UTS, which involves submitting a progress reports on my work each and every semester. These reports are essentially a simple 4-page form but require an appended (also 4 page) report outlining what you set out to do, what you [...]

I’m currently preparing for a short piece of processing tutoring in the Bachelor of Architecture course, commencing tomorrow. The course is a 1st year construction subject, in which the year group is designing modular structures from found objects (read; whatever they can find in large amounts at Reverse Garbage), with a 12-15 unsuspecting students are [...]
Linked below are some early results from a new series of sketches I’ve been working on using Processing. These sketches continue in a long line of projects I’ve completed recently using simple camera tracking algorithms to infer interesting patterns of movement in urban spaces.
The first example is a calibrated blob tracking experiment, using the excellent [...]
Filtration Fields (Joanne Jakovich & Jason McDermott 2009)
Recently Joanne and I were given the opportunity to exhibit in the DAB Lab Research Gallery at UTS, in the Design, Architecture and Building faculty building, as an opportunity to refine and showcase our collective research into realtime responsive architectural environments.

Looking forward to the next SO-AD installation, Triptych 01 at the DAB LABGallery, (Level 4 DAB cafe courtyard, 702-730 Harris St Ultimo) on the 11th March 09 at 6pm.
A new feature of the DAB LAB Gallery opening will be a public lecture at 7pm by David Burns, so make sure not to miss it.
The Computational Environments students created the Skinform as a major project for the studio. It has been fully exhibited twice at UTS and also as a small teaser exhibit at Customs House.
As part of the Sydney Architecture Festival, the Skinform project was exhibited. The project was initially planned to be installed as a fully working [...]
pixelTag is an experimental working prototype for creating digital art using hand-held devices and radio signals.
The current pixelTag prototype uses the Nintendo Wii remote controller, in conjunction with Osculator and Max/Msp. The prototype generates pixel graphics in real time, based on x/y/z motion information sent to Max by the Wii remote. The prototype has the [...]
The Chennai Free Information Zone project is exhibited as part of the Continuum: Tactics for Contingent Environments Exhibition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Continuum exhibition is a collaboration between Anthony Burke of UTS DAB Architecture and David Burns of Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture.
