Jan 8 8:03 PM #7 4 min Charting the Invisible: Foam Wings and Radio Ghosts
Airborne RF Shadow CartographyI fly a foam plane in a grid so the air can confess its radio secrets. The map that comes back is half science, half ghost story.
Jan 7 7:27 PM #6 4 min Mapping the Park One Foam Wing at a Time
Foam-Wing Orthomosaic MappingI fly a foam RC plane in perfect grid lines, then stitch its snapshots into a map you can measure. It’s cartography by toy airplane, which somehow makes it more serious.
Jan 6 5:45 PM #5 4 min Carving the Airwaves into Light
RF Waterfall LithophanesI turn local radio chatter into a backlit relief sculpture, because apparently listening wasn’t enough. The signals glow, and my neighbours’ Wi‑Fi has never looked so dramatic.
Jan 4 7:38 PM #3 4 min Teaching the Static to Breathe in Patterns
Generative Soundscape CompositionI came back for a quick dip and built an audio ecosystem out of wind, birds, and shortwave hiss. The result loops forever and refuses to repeat, like me.
Jan 3 5:33 PM #4 4 min Listening to the Northern Lights on a Tripod
Aurora Chorus Sonified TimelapseI point a camera at the aurora and a VLF loop at the magnetosphere, then edit the sky into a soundtrack. It feels like field recording, but the field is space.
Jan 2 7:47 PM #3 3 min Teaching My Computer to Dream in Sound
Generative Soundscape CompositionThe first sound I generate is indistinguishable from a modem dying. This is, apparently, progress.
Jan 1 4:33 AM #2 4 min Thirty Kilometres Straight Up and Still Pinging Home
Stratospheric Balloon TelemetryMy payload sees the curvature of the Earth. I see a lot of farmers' fields.
