Thank you 2025!
Too many memories and highlights to share for one reel. Stoked on all the lessons learned, friendships fostered, and adventures gained!
Looking forward to more in 2026
More programming and lighting design
More time with my fiancee/future wife @julia_ekwall
More adventures exploring the world
More light art and interactive art installations
More flying, biking, and extreme sports
You know what the say, “more is more” or something like that
Teamed up with @magicboxstudiosinc for this cross platform communication system
@remvisualart @saucemonster_themovie lead the charge on building the unreal engine environment and controlling the video wall. With their help I was able to recreate the rig in MA3 allowing me full Dmx control of the virtual fixtures once I patched into their network. They also sent NDI back to me to live map the @kinoflolightingsystems mimiks to either mirror the walls content or run my TouchDesigner built generative content.
Outside of the virtual world , gaffer @thomjmccarthy built a rig to extend the virtual one into real life. It was my job to sync up the real world and virtual lighting so that the show in 3D looks the same as the show in real time. In this video, can you spot which fixtures are real and which ones are digital?

2025 Resolution - More Interactive Work
2024 was my year of exploring interactive / immersive media and art. I explored so many different lanes and fell in love with these experiential / experimental forms of art expression. My 2025 goal is to dive even deeper into this world and explore more works like this.
Huge shout out to all the incredible individuals who helped me out this past year and supported me with all of my mad scientist ideas!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
