Nike + Art
Interactive Design, Brand Hijacking
Nike + Art is an interactive project co-created with Axel Esquite at Parsons School of Design. We played off of the Nike+ quantitative aggregation of users workout data stored with a Nike+ sensor and an iPod by hacking out the data and passing it through a generative art engine that we developed in Flash.

The Chap Stick Conspiracy
Screen print on paper
This piece was inspired by my belief that Chap Stick is a conspiracy. It over sensitizes your lips, which makes you just need to use more of it. So I manifested my crazy theories into a nine-layer screen print. This is a limited edition run of 25 prints, all numbered and signed and printed by me on archival paper. Prints are available for $40 each (US shipping included). Email me for details. Hide
