This is the prototype of a reward winning bench, the final versions are more then 4 metres long. Meanwhile looking at the prototype it also tell's when maintanance needs to be done at the final products
I was invited to a known carpenter to visit him at his workshop. Between the trees, having a workshed in the forest he uses local raw materials. Ordering a piece of furniture from him, means that he can give you the historie of his raw materials to the place the tree once stood.
The A-Team (the youth committee that helped plan & facilitate Emoti-Con!) led an activity in rapid prototyping for all the youth at Emoti-Con! Students were given a challenge, and got a set of random materials with which to construct a model of a piece of technology that could solve that challenge.

Prototypes for Future CMU Libraries Workshop "Data as Experiential Art"
At CMU, we are in an environment where all domains have rich data sources, from fine arts to robotics. Yet, in my educational initiatives through CMU Libraries, I continue to encounter the idea that “data” is something that lives in a spreadsheet or an algorithm, and primarily in a STEM setting. With support from the Frank-Ratchye Fund for Art @ the Frontier, I have created prototypes for the future CMU Libraries workshop “Data as Experiential Art.” This workshop will take an anti-disciplinary approach to promote enthusiasm for data, helping participants see all data around us, within photographs, film, our words, our music, etc. This workshop exists among a larger project at CMU Libraries to create a space where blending domain and specialty areas as they apply to creative data education is welcomed and encouraged.
Currently, CMU Libraries offers a host of workshops open to the CMU community and beyond that teach skills in data visualization, data management, collecting data, and communicating data, but a current lacking is a more experiential workshop that can help community members get excited about the idea of data. Many students (and postdocs, faculty, etc.) see the Libraries as a safe space to learn these concepts, particularly in cases where they may feel embarrassment or shame to seek foundational data help in their own departments, given the reputation for advanced data expertise present at CMU. When we have students in our Libraries spaces, we also need to think about how we can help spark an enthusiasm for learning and engaging with data. We can teach students how to work with data, but without also creating a space for developing enthusiasm about data, are we really providing a holistic educational experience for our learners at CMU Libraries? This question led me to develop an idea for this workshop: a 3-hour experience that will be open to students, staff, faculty, and other CMU community members from all areas of study and specialty to create original art that describes how they view data, their relationship to data, and how it manifests in their work. All participants will be provided with art supplies and a workspace to craft art that engages their view of data, or their ideas for where they’d like to take their data in the future. While workshop participants create their art pieces, workshop facilitators (myself, and likely other CMU Libraries data librarians) will prompt conversations on the data universe that surrounds us, and why and how our relationships with data morph over time.
The three prototypes I created are mixed-media art pieces that each engage with how data intersects into my own work, experience, and worldview. Each prototype uses a variety of materials to represent how data manifests in my own world, from ethnographic interviews and stories of Grateful Dead fans, to viewing of Doctor Who and how it can change our real-world movements and perceptions, to fish and other creatures as-data as they move about their spaces in the world. These pieces will be on display in the workshop and serve as examples for how participants might embark on their own creative pieces. With the prototypes, I want to inspire workshop participants to craft their own creative interpretation of the data in their lives - what is unique about it? What is inspiring about it? What is scary about it? Engaging in such an exercise empowers participants to take agency in their own data journey, leaving them receptive to our educational offerings on more operational data skills, including collection, analysis, and management. At the end of the workshop, participants will share stories of their art pieces and demonstrate what they represent. The first iteration of this workshop is expected to happen in February 2022, coinciding with the Libraries’ programming efforts around Love Data Week.
Developing the look and feel of a site and its response to navigation and visual executions. This will be an option to what my Sophomore Portfolio Graphic Design Web Site will look like. The bars will have a rollover effect what will show up as the brown color letting you know to click and it will navigate you to another view.
The Webcam shows what's going on behind the wall in the parking lot. The idea is that people should compare the real thing to their experience of the image. The exhibit on the left side encourages people do out and write a haiku about what they experience.

Here's my prototype for reworking the UI for AWN's applet preferences. The top view will contain the installed applets, and the bottom view contains the activated applets in the dock, and the order that they are shown.

Prototype for a party bag swap. Now I know what NOT to do! It's a little lopsided, and the curved corners are kind of lumpy, but the next one should be pretty good.

Trojan began commercial production of its low-priced cars in 1922. This was a prototype built in 1912 - production was delayed by the First World War. Solid tyres were fitted to all early Trojans, reducing costs. The company slogan was that the cars were so cheap you had to ask yourself, "Can you afford to walk?"
