In this art-business collaboration with Geoff Thomas we research and develop experimental media to improve and redefine the lives of pets and their owners. Some products I developed:
Mamma Bellybed: You don't want your little one to grow up do you? Well neither do they! Order Mamma Bellybed so baby can suckle, milk tread, and sleep all in one convenient location. This next-gen pet bed is designed according to feline ergonomics and is equipped with a built-in bottle that dispenses preemie, kitten, and adult formula via quality refill packs. Love Bytes: Ever been at work and missed your pet? We all have. Order Love Bytes to call your pet at home, compliment them and give them treats! Your voice wave opens a mechanical mouth on the device which lavishes goodies on your little one. Just "dial, speak, and baby eats!"™

Cat
Scratch Fever, co-directed
by Anucha Aribarg and myself

film. The character riffs on the physical comedy of Keaton and Chaplin with an added bit of sleaze.
Mutards
An odd, lush graphic narrative about pop zombification and an army led by Major Cheese.
Collaborating with Geoff Thomas and Steve Hodges we proposed a Rhizome project that encourages body awareness and social interaction through open-ended performances. Networked costume modules function as musical instruments. Performers gesture and move to generate and vary musical tones. Through improvised play, sensing costumes, and network technologies, we invite freeform collaboration. Looking for funding...
