Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision:

Control My Lights — Edward Deaver IV

During the summer of 2020 I was a new grad and unemployed, so I tried to learn some skills. I made an interactive light installation that streamed to Twitch/YouTube that was controlled via chat and a website.

Hi Betes! I found you via searching creative technologist. What do you do at MIT? That sounds intriguing.

Hi Scott! Cool to connect with other creative technologists. That reel is sweet!

On Election night I made a scraper that took the #NYTimes election data json ~every 10 minutes and put it on my mechanical display. #creativetech #dataviz This is a timelapse of the night with the sound added back in. vimeo.com/1027074047

Started a project to replay and visualize my rides real time after the fact. This is a screen recording of playing back a ride from the FIT file on Strava. Units are in mph, and using #python to read the data.
