My notebook

Notes from
making things.

The sketches, methods and questions behind my projects. A place to look more closely at how something works.

The question I keep coming back to

What happens
after we see?

I start with observations. The interesting part is what a representation might let us do next.

    A moving scene

    Research manuscript

    I’m exploring what a few views can tell us about movement—and what they leave uncertain.

  2. 02

    A machine’s labels

    Installation prototype

    I made a mirror that labels a figure, then explored ways to let the participant refuse its reading.

  3. 03

    A classroom problem

    Student project

    I wanted teachers to write flexible rules while students still get repeatable feedback.

First, a question about seeing.

Three experiments, one habit: make something I can inspect, question and change.

Research note / Algorithms

When does an algorithm
repeat itself?

Looking at FIFO SPFA through edge scans, repeated work and graph density.
