We created a projection on the exterior facade of their space that responded to the flow of people entering and leaving. Every time a person walked through the doorway the colors would shift 10% in hue and saturation. Inside, visitors were treated to a Video Show featuring selected motion graphics and short film work done by Art Center and CalArts students. Through the use of additional sensors placed on the sides of the windows, we provided an opportunity for visitors to control the test pattern colors directly through personal interaction with the facade.

Scott Nazarian was instrumental in sparking my interest in this area and it was an absolute pleasure collaborating with him on this project. Studio Index was our first attempt at creating a unique human-scale interactive display system. We wanted to get away from designing media for small screens, and instead, develop large scale interfaces that abandon the use of a mouse, in favor of a dynamic range of sensors that allow the human body to be directly used as an interactive input device. Using a mylar screen, a computer, infrared sensors, a microcontroller and a projector we built an installation that allowed visitors to use their hands to explore some of our studio’s projects through the use of a simple Flash interface. Through this working prototype, we were able to ask questions about scale and encounter. Will a viewer perceive information differently when they are “immersed within it” instead of just “looking at it”? Will their experience be more emotional, viceral, or lucid?

That was the concept we focused on for the rebranding of the number one basic cable network in the world. We wanted to celebrate the many unique and intriguing characters that make up the USA Network viewing landscape. Not only the characters in the original series, movies and sporting events like Monk, Denzel Washington and Andy Roddick, but also characters like you and me who enjoy the shows. We created a site that brought everyone’s personality to life through strong imagery, exclusive video features and interactive games. We also developed showusyourcharacter.com, cable entertainment’s first digital social networking space. The site allows users to show off their own unique character by creating a profile and recording themselves with a web cam. They can then vote for their favorite characters, chat with their newly made friends and join show communities. The success of the website inspired the USA Network to create Characters Wanted, a nationwide character contest.
