Myme
Medical data is oddly impersonal considering its personal origins. How can people engage with, internalize and process medical data (or any data…) if it does not relate to them in a personalized way? How can the data be actionable or meaningful if we engage with it in binary contexts of numbers that are good or […]

This is an informatic that encompasses every possible […]
Kowtowing Lamp
The Kowtowing Lamp is an exploration into products that have personality. As an object, it functions as both light source and a data visualization device.

Danish Rye Bread Elements
The Table of Danish Rye Bread Elements is a close look at Danish rye bread. What is it made of? How healthy is it? Why is it so heavy? There were so many questions about the dense Danish rugbrød, so it was time to investigate. Three different loaves of rye bread were dissected by hand and […]
The Solid Fugue
