Current Projects
2007
A video overview of several recent projects is online here.
EarthSpeaker at Wave Farm
Summer 2007
I am creating a set of large solar-powered nocturnal acoustic sculptures for the Wave Farm in Acra, NY. The sculptures absorb solar energy during the day and re-radiate the energy as sound at dusk. A prototype developed through a residency at Eyebeam was installed in the summer of 2006, and the development of full versions was awarded a NYSCA grant for 2007.
I am also working with Wave Farm to develop a solar-powered outdoor performance venue.
See the EarthSpeaker videos for more information.
ForestBot at Wave Hill
Fall 2007
I am creating a large kinetic/acoustic sculpture based on ForestBot for Wave Hill in the Bronx.
See the ForestBot videos for more information about that work.
Sustainable Energy Class
Spring 2007
I am teaching a graduate course in sustainable energy at NYU.
Habana Labs

I am R&D director of this non-profit dedicated to research and outreach about sustainable energy.
