Experimenting with having the box of stuff right next to the TV that has the live stream of its contents. This was born out of necessity since I needed both Raspberry Pis to be on the same LAN, but I kind of like that it makes the project even more obsessive. Debating whether to have ...

Bottomless Pit – Attempts 4, 5, 6

Feedback from guest critic Kyle Li, as well as Louisa Campbell and my other classmates: Where are the bears sitting? In a clean gallery space, or in my room?

Up until now, I have presented my thesis project “inventori” as an earnest attempt and creating a useful tool. I thought of it as a coping mechanism for those of us that are too sentimental about our things to give them away. I’ve been planning to make a website that can be a database for ...
