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.
Below, a document containing an exhustive listing of the "Review of Press" for the 2008 and 2010 ZERO 1 New Media Biennial. The festival was covered by dozens of local, national and internationl channels.
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.
Below, two documents containing an exhustive listing of the "Review of Press" for the exhibition Dynasty, held at Palais de Tokyo and Musée d'Art Modern. Robin Meier and I showed two of our collaborative works Truce and A Tentative Call to the other at the two museums.
Many thanks to the staff at the two museums for collecting and sharing the two documents below. It led to priceless finds like this one…
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.

This grant supports a collaborative project between MAW (primarily Ander Pander), Mike Hoyt (Youth Program Manager, Pillsbury United Communities) and Peter Haakon Thompson to for the Central Mobile Art Team. The project involves creating workshops on mobile art-making that are suitible for youth and adults learning together.
The project will culminate in the construction of a mobile art trailer and a public exhibition in the Spring of 2010.
I was invited by Liz Armstrong of the Minneapolis Institute Of Arts to apply for a commission from the Joyce Foundation to collabore with the mueseum. The proposed project is a collaboration with Jenny Schmid on a performance and installation at the museum. The project will take place in and around the MIA, in the form of a night-time participatory public projection performance. The project is scheduled for 2011.
