INSTALLATION. MUSEUM.
I can't go into how this was made and who made it, but I can give you some basics that were pulled from the much better copy writing of the creative production company behind it and readily available public information from the museum!
I spent 18 months working as a Creative Technologist. I spent a lot of time in a variety of contexts making things talk. I got a chance to work with a TON of very smart people on a really cool project.
The photos and documentation in the gallery below were taken by my friend and frequent collaborator, Cam Vokey, and the good photos in there were taken by Ben Bauer.

TOOLING. OPENSOURCE.
I’m really proud of this one. I spend a lot of time hoping from VsCode and back to TD. I also have a tendency to quickly forget the names of the opperators that I’ve laid down. So I took a couple of weeks and built an Auto Completion tool for Touch that will help programmers build quicker.
I released it on Github for free and continue to maintain it.

POP-UP. IMMERSIVE. INSTALLATION.
I can’t tell you the project stats for this one.
I worked for 9 months as a creative technologist on a project that was later awarded Best Experiential of 2022). I'll leave it up to the professionals at the production house here I worked to describe it - here's their copy writing.
PROJECT: REVLON - POP UP PHOTOBOOTH
POP-UP. IMMERSIVE. INSTALLATION.
I love a photobooth. It’s a classic interactive experience and I think an under appreciated offering in the interactive designers tool-box. This was a custom build for a makeup brand. I implmented some classic AR make-up algorithms and some AI powered face tracking for a pop up in downtown NYC

PHILOSOPHY: WHY STUDIO DAVE?
PITCH
Why work with Studio Dave?
I’ve been working in Immersive for 15 years. I’m just as comfortable talking to a client about the intricies of sensor systems as I am too a hot shot programmer who’s asking you to spend 15k on a graphics card and a particle system.
I’m diligent and meticolous about prototyping. In my view we are fellow travellers on a long and winding path between the deck and the install. I love every single step and I’ve developed production pipelines and workback schedules that ease the transition between imagination and reality.
I work with a team of talented folks that have been through the trenches with me.
I am meticoulous about vibes.
I really, truly, believe in that with a good design, the right system, and a good story this stuff can feel like magic.
