Legible Cartography: Place and Image in Dayton's Bluff Spring 2005 (7.7mb, Get the Flash Player) : MFA Thesis project, currently in the rough stage. A series of interactive maps whose design is based upon personal observation and interviews with residents of the community. Through community generated maps, the mental image and “sense of place” present in the perceptions of residents can be better defined and developed in order to initiate a discourse about the current state and future of the neighborhood.
Sound Map Spring 2003 (4.6mb, Get the Flash Player) : The intention of this project was to document and map the often overlooked element of sound in a well traveled section of the University of Minnesota, the area between Coffman Union and Northrup Auditorium.
The most frequented section is above ground on the mall, this is contrasted with the less used space of the Gopher Way, an underground tunnel system connecting buildings along the same approximate path.
Video was captured on a digital camera and converted to vectors to capture the most prominent colors in each space as it was traveled through. The delivery of the project is intended to be via CD-ROM, as a result, he download time may be long.
War Poem Spring 2002 (2.1mb, Get the Flash Player) : An exploration of the random juxtaposition of poetry from the First World War, news headline images during the early "War on Terror" and journal notes kept during Desert Storm.
