Using MaxMSP this lets the user play with Tetris pieces to do with whatever they like. It shows the left-brain right brain function, one side is more analytical being represented in 1's and 0's, while the other side is more creative being represented in a Greenscreen effect, showing what you are doing in the background of what you are doing.

Controlled by an Arduino and motors, this "instrument" creates it's own music, keeping a beat, and playing "notes". When presented it was accompanied by Avenged Sevenfold, then Other Music, while no two songs were alike, it kept the beat and started to "play" along. The idea behind it is music is a universal language. While some don't interpret the same song the same way, we all hear or feel it the same. this way meant to allow the listener to hear it's music, and allow them to make sense of how they hear it.

Girls got Rhythm

Using an Arduino I controlled several strands of green and red christmas lights and well as some green and red LEDs. The point of this was to get a reaction and evoke the feeling almost everyone has a small part of OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I envoke that reaction by using two different squares, one straight and one off center, it starts with them all lines up, then they shut off all at the same time. slowly they turn on then off at random times, while some lights are brighter and some are darker and some turn off later than others. whether you have OCD or not, i've gotten the reaction from multiple people who just want to go up and fix it. The whole piece is over 5 feel tall and 8 feel long, this give you the overwhelming feeling of powerlessness and makes the user uncomfortable, in a lot of ways.
