My Wordpress site got old and sick but my new site isn't ready, so you get the fast version; new site coming soon!

I'm (obviously) interested in interactive design, specifically explorations in human-computer interaction/tangible user interfaces, 'traditional' UI design, and responsive visualizations.

To me, prototyping is another way to say I Make. I love to build things from scratch, or by combining several things into something new. When I need something, I try to make it through planning, testing, more testing, failing, iterating, starting over, and tweaking. I love Arduinos, electrical tape, tie wire, hot glue, solder, and broken printer parts.

Currently, my work seems to center around what I like to call the 'Culture Machine'; the idea of inputing parameters into a machine or program, and letting it make critical artistic decisions. Also, I love to collaborate.

Click on my face and type in some numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6). My favorite is 2 with 5. If you have a MakeyMakey, hook it up and use the keyboard inputs (a,s,d,f,g,e). Not working? Click on the picture again!

Here is a quick sample of stuff, more to come with the full site. If you are trying to find your pictures, head over to photos.brendanmatkin.info.
