{\Large {\bf\sf The Vibravibe VL-12 }{(\sf 2005)}}\vspace{0mm}\\ 
{\small Vibrotactile lounge chair:
plywood, canvas, lycra velvet, low-frequency vibrotactile
transducers. Composition: music and vibrotactile compositions, control software.}
\vspace{5mm} \\ 
{\parbox{\linewidth}{\footnotesize \textit{Vibrotactile stimulation is often pigeonholed into the
realms of pleasure and relaxation.  Looking at vibration as a
compositional medium - with the vibrations themselves as aesthetic
artifacts - we begin to see how many of the dynamic, rhythmic, and
harmonic structures of sonic vibrations in music can be naturally
extended to palpable vibrations. Space and motion on the vast surface
of the skin are essential parameters and the body becomes the stage
for a dance that is felt rather than seen.  Thanks to Jeff Lieberman,
Justin Manor, Chris Parlato, John Rothenberg, and Small Design Firm
for their help with this project.}}}

will randomly select and present a fashion suggestion from an array of
styles. In its normal environment, House of Style is placed in a
window and operates during the day, drawing energy from sunlight. If
you are disatisfied with the current style on display, please feel
free to return in a few minutes.}}}

{\small Modular light: 1x16" PCBs, microcontrollers, LEDs,
and USB cables and connectors.}
\vspace{5mm} \\ 
{\parbox{\linewidth}{\footnotesize \textit{Protochoice is a modular lighting prototype which computes
a lifetime of chance decisions.  It is comprised of 26 1x16" printed
circuit boards with two hot pluggable USB connections on each end
providing both structural and electical glue.  A collection of
protochoice boards permit the construction of a wide range of wireframe
sculptures.  Protochoice is the first in a series of modular
electronic sculptures by the artist.  Many thanks to Mark Tobenkin,
Jeff Lieberman, Kevin McCormick, James Patten, Hayes Raffle, Fran
Trainor, Brian Knep, Dan Paluska, Mindy Zarem, and the Collision
Collective. Inspired by Eric Saund's Markov cube and XTC's
``Complicated Game'' song (i.e., should I part my hair on the left or
right?).  Partially funded by the MIT Council for the Arts.}}}
