Installations

Physical pieces I've designed and built: a living light sign at the entrance to Northwestern's Knight Lab, a projection-mapped wall of cubes that introduces visitors to the lab, and a workstation built as an object as much as a machine, which hosts local AI models.

Knight Lab entrance sign

I designed and built the sign at the entrance to Northwestern’s Knight Lab from programmable LED tiles. The lab’s diamond mark is made of individually lit panels that drift slowly through color, so the logo works as a quiet, living sign that greets students and visitors as they walk in.

InfoCubes

InfoCubes turns a wall of plain white cubes into a set of screens that inhabit three-dimensional space. It uses projection mapping: two projectors, each driven by its own Raspberry Pi running custom software, with the two Pis talking to each other to stay in sync so the image holds together across every face. Installed in the entryway to the Knight Lab, it served as an information hub and an introduction to the lab.

Computer build

A workstation designed as an object as much as a machine: a warm, glass-walled case lit from within, sitting on a field of light panels that glow in the same palette. It hosts local AI models.
