My collaborator Robin Meier and I are at it again, this time with leafcutter ants. Robin's been experimenting with the ants in a lab outside paris, while I explore how to build our colony of small friends a welcoming foraging scenario. Below, a prezi of some notes we're taking.
This work will be presented at Palais de Tokyo in July of 2011.

Ray Kampmeier (undergraduate EECS student at UMN) and I are working on a robust and complete solution for working with Digi's Xbee modules and Max.
Working with 2.5 Series radios, the present pre-alpha version allows for sending remote messages to a remote-wireless xbee (configured as AT Router/Endpoint) and local-USB-connected xbee (configured as API coordinator).
My XBee Playground Blog shows a record of our progress, while this post includes links to the necessary Max patches and XBee profiles.
More coming soon…..

I took MAW to ZERO 1 in 2008 for a number of urban interventions (see videos here). In 2010, MAW and I were commissioned to produce a new work for Absolute Zero: Lavish Martyr/Exquisite Corpse by ZERO 1 and performed in San Jose on Sep. 17th, 2010.
Many thanks to ZERO 1 for sharing these document.

Title
The Liminal Surface: An Interactive Table-top Environment for Hybridized Music – Theater Performance
Abstract
This paper documents the development of a new instrument for the creation of experimental music theater. This environment, known as the liminal surface, uses a portable “table-top” design to integrate audio, video, analog and digital sensors, and computer-based control of external media (i.e. musical robotics). This environment will enable the composition of a series of new works exploring interactive computer music, intermodal relationships, and collaborative performance on a visually stimulating and technologically sophisticated platform.
