Featured Projects

  • The Narcissus installation positions the viewer in the role of Narcissus – an isolated figure gazing into a pool, mesmerized by his own reflection. [+]

    The reflection is produced using a generative algorithm linked to a pulse oximetry sensor. The viewer’s biometric data is processed in real time and displayed as a text-based animation unique to each visitor. The resulting animation is projected into a reflecting pool containing 12 gallons of spent petroleum.

  • 100 Years From Now was a city-wide public art intervention in Rome.[+] One thousand signs displaying five open-ended phrases challenged citizens to consider the future we are each making. The project used calculated ambiguity to compel each of us to confront, or to deny, the larger signs that point to our collective future.[+]

  • A flag should be more than an abstract representation of a place; it should express what is essential about that place and the people who call it home. San Francisco Magazine asked MD to develop a new city flag based on Roman Mars’ criticisms laid down in his TED talk about the poor design of municipal flags. [+]

  • Ironic truisms intended to underline our selective blindness – regardless of where we fall on the political spectrum. [+]

    A series of Instagram images that remind us of where we are as a nation of individuals existing in echo chambers. Posted to coincide with the one year anniversary of the 2016 presidential inauguration, each image is intended to amplify the internal voice we all hear—and then attempt to ignore—as we succumb to our cultural biases in the ongoing culture war.

  • For the Goldman Tennis Center at Golden Gate Park, we were commissioned to create an environmental graphic feature that telegraphed the communal spirit of the facility, as well as the legacy of the adjacent Haight-Ashbury district. The clubhouse features a lenticular wall that offers an interactive reading experience. From the right, near the entrance, the wall reads “LOVE”. From the left, as one moves to the courts, the wall reads “ALL”. The phrase makes clear the center’s openness, while referencing the beginning of every tennis match.
