First step in hopefully serie of works, focusing on the damaged bodies, and reconstructions of the same.
3D scans done with Kinect, mashes reconstructed in MeshLab.







Flapping Toasters

http://frontiernerds.com/flapping-toasters



Flapping Toasters misappropriates the popular early-90s screensaver published by After Dark to allow the user to fulfill their wildest fantasy and become the flying toaster.

While the toast and toasters still fly in a mainly isometric path, the user may control the trajectory of a toaster by flapping their arms for vertical motion or extending and rotating their arms in a rolling motion to the right or left. Finally, the user may add more toast to the screen by performing an exaggerated clap. Set to a midi version of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkeries."
