Ditter

Ditter is a telegraph key that posts to Twitter. The project uses an Arduino microcontroller and was a collaboration with Jason C. Reed, who wrote the morse code parser. Ditter was shown at 937 Liberty as part of the Rossum's shows "Robot Resolution" and "Signal to Noise Patio," for Pittsburgh First Night and a Gallery Crawl in the Cultural District, respectively. You can read Ditter's posts (some of which are much more coherent than the others, naturally) at twitter.com/ditter. (More images...)

Please Touch

Please Touch is a thing what bleeps and blinks, and is made of recycled wood from Construction Junction. It was shown at Tree Pittsburgh's 2010 Arbor Aid fundraiser. (More images...)

Mad Science

A panel of buttons, knobs, and switches, for a booth for CMU's Spring Carnival 2009. The panel displays responses ranging from logical to snarky; the buttons are labeled such things as "Chronosynclastic Infundibulum," "Esperanto," and "Sass." (More images...)
