Everything I Do is Art, But Nothing I Do Makes Any Difference, Part II Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gallery is the second in a series of playable levels for the popular first-person shooter video game, Half Life 2. This version was made for the 2006 Undergraduate Exhibition at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The entire 50,000+ square foot gallery has been meticulously modeled, along with some of the artwork from the show [mostly that of my friends and classmates].

garden
garden is a localized community media network that resembles an open wi-fi connection. Instead of connecting to the internet as we know it, garden connects neighbors to a ‘blank,’ communally writable local network where anyone in range can set up their own domains, pages and media; it’s like a combination of a local newspaper and a mesh network.
Easy-to-use web software like WordPress and Hotglue allows non-experts to easily set up their own versions of any site. Users are also encouraged to be expressive with hardware used to run the network, often ‘dressing up’ boring items like routers in fun costumes. garden was installed at the Microwave International New Media Arts Festival in 2012, where many users were able to create re-imagined versions of monolithic websites.
