Been working on new packaging for Mobile Homes. Small box and a printed sleeve.
.
The plan is to make each label unique and something of a desirable piece. Something you’d want to hang on the wall.
More to come.
A great project I’ve been a part of, BIRD ON A WIRE, will be on display from Oct 26 - 29. Opening reception is Oct 26th, 8:00PM, come one come all.
‘Bird on a Wire’ is a projected interactive display created for a pair of storefront windows at the corner Mercer St. and Washington Pl. in Manhattan. By calling a number a passerby can set birds perched on telephone wires into motion while listening to their flocking sounds on a cellphone.
Each bird is individually mapped to the space’s physical set design and the animation is triggered when the birds receive a call to the designated number. The installation transforms a traditional storefront into a literal call to action - engaging pedestrians into a playful two way interaction.
Created by: Ben Light, Christie Leece, Inessah Selditz, and Matt Richardson, four Master’s students at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) for Pop-Up Window Displays class taught by Gabe Barcia-Colombo.
Opening: October 26th at 8pm. On view nightly through the 29th.

I built the physical installation for a video projection piece called Farm, created by Gabe Barcia-Colombo. Gabe projected video on to the physical ant farm I built. This sucker was 6′ by 4′ and probably weighed over 200lbs. It was a great project to be a part of.
About the piece:
The piece showed at the Dumbo Arts Festival
The jacks held Pixel Drop, a window installation on Waverly Place and Broadway, in place by putting pressure between the wall and the window.
Turn buckles, bolts, and rubber stoppers used to make jacks. Worked like a charm.

Pixel Drop is a window installation that I worked on with Christie Leece and Allison Berman.
It was installed on Waverly Place at Broadway. When you place your hand on the hand shaped decal, the corresponding colored ping pong ball will drop. Simple but fun.
Assignment: Elicit a double take.
Matt Richardson and I had a pretty straightforward idea, attach a tetherball to a street sign and see if passers-by not only take notice of it but actually engage in this familiar game in an unfamiliar setting.

Check ‘N Chew is a really fun project I’ve been working on with Matt Richardson and Tyler DeAngelo. Basically, when you check into Foursquare you get a gumball.
I’ve learned that an off-the-shelf gumball machines are a bit flaky and gumballs do not come in a standard size, but the project turned out great and working with these guys has been a dream. We even got the machine covered by Engadget.
My friend Matt Epler and I were experimenting with drawing on the ITP CNC router. We chucked up a marker and had it plot some simple shapes. We basically were using a $20,000 machine to draw circles. Hopefully more interesting drawings to come.
A little tip, keep the spindle off when doing this. Unless you want the Sharpie to explode.
