I've been reworking my #solar record player project to include in my upcoming book. It's getting close! Really distorted, but still musical enough to easily know what it should sound like. The circuit and mechanism isn't too bad either! #solarart #solarpunk #solarpower

I've been finalizing the projects for my new book of #solarpower art tutorials. This is an optical disc sequencer, included in the #soundart chapter. (The book should be available sometime in 2026)

I'm recruiting participants for a paid demand response user experience study in NYC! A demand response event is a 4-hour period of time in the summer where electricity usage is high and the utility offers to pay energy consumers to turn off appliances. More info at

I made this functioning solar panel mosaic in 2017 and barely exhibited it, so I'm particularly happy for it to be in this year's Solar Biennale at Mudac.

Every time I return to it my feelings about it change. Unfortunately, it feels more relevant than ever.

I made this 6v solar cell mosaic piece back in 2017 and coincidentally I had to pack it up this week to be shown for the first time in a major show... #solar #mediaart #thismachinekillsfascists
