The Lightcoder is a symbolic object that explores the possibilities of survival in an urban environment, bringing attention to the vulnerability of digital technology and embracing its entropy through alternative interaction that don't rely on dominant technologies.
The Lightcoder is an analog communication device. A "rebozo"-style bag, made out of reflective mylar that use natural or artificial light to encode messages into morse code.
The Pocket LightCoder is a free tool. If you need one for your survival kit, shoot an email to: jerry@eyebeam.org

This project started out as the Milkscanner (as described on instructables). The basic idea behind this process is that you can capture the silhouette of an object easily when it is surrounded by a high contrast fluid, such as milk or ink.
When lowering the object into the fluid, the silhouette changes gradually, as the fluid obstructs more and more of the objects shape. By capturing the silhouette of an object at different stages of submersion, one can generate slices, that, if properly stacked together, can be interpreted as 3D data.

Here's a documentation video of a recent inkscanning performance:

Using computer vision tracking coordinate systems, helicopters paint abstract forms on a canvas laid horizontially.

 Project will be shown in July.

The text is currently being pulled from xml into openframworks dynamically displaying in real time peoples answers to the question ‘what would you take if you could only take one object out of a fire?’

the interface is then being projected onto a wooden board where I have laser cut a floorplan of the typical american house. The answers shift around depending on activity on the blog and gender specific answers (boys are black, girls pink)


bombs.jpg
Bombs (from 2d mat board) were be placed in iconic locations of bomb threats in hopes of opening a discussion of what is terrorism vs. fear and how interchangeable are the words. Where is the line between rational and unrational occur? How does a society begin to learn to cope with the unknown by being logical?
