My current project is an exhibition called Fling - a multidisciplinary art show that tests the act of commitment and the limits of relationships by pairing accepted artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers and performers to collaborate on an imagined “relationship” to be presented in March 2006. Submissions are being accepted until December 31, 2005.

Another small piece i did for The Lab's Postcard Show in 2005. I printed these stickers as a play on the red state/blue state division, questioning whether the existing flag represents our country when it has seeming profound and intractible political and social differences among different regions.

I helped curate Kearny Street Workshop's Pirated Show in 2005. The show examined the various forms of piracy from the perspectives of a number of Asian American artists.

Another installation I did at Pirated was Mission Butterfly. In this installation, profiles were created for Madame Butterfly and B.F. Pinkerton in an online dating website, as residents of the Mission in present-day San Francisco.

I've been on the organizing committee for Kearny Street Workshop's APAture for the last couple of years. In 2003, I helped curate the art gallery and film night; the visual art show was so much work that I'm just working on that in 2004. In 2002 I had a painting in the show.

CJWP (Chin Jurn Wor Ping/Chien Jin He Ping/Moving Forward for Peace) is an intergenerational alliance of people of Taiwanese, Chinese and Hong Kong heritage, working together in the Bay Area for peace and social justice. We are fighting against the war in Iraq and against the Oakland Chinatown evictions.

I designed and programmed the Tactile12000 - a free graphical MP3 DJ software application. It's been written up in Print Magazine's Interaction Design Annual, RayGun, MixMag and other magazines and web sites around the world, and has been downloaded by close to half a million people by now. The previous version, the Tactile1200 (below left) was written up in URB and Wired. MTV contracted me to make a customized version for MTV.com (below right). I haven't had much time to work on it lately so I have released it as an open source project on SourceForge.

The ASS-MAX is another music mixing software application I created for OM Records - it's more of a composing tool than a DJ mixer; you select a bass track and a drum track, then layer samples using the pads on top. It appeared on the first Deep Concentration CD.

Urbanpixel is a startup I founded with a group of friends - it was a next-generation interface for integrating online community with content. The image above is a map view of an Urbanpixel space of 10,000 web sites, all spread out into a single two-dimensional space. The software lets you browse in a the space as a continuous experience, as if it were one giant web page, and to also chat with others who are in the same area as you.

IEEHA (the Institute for Equity, Ecology, Humor and Art) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit I helped start with Lina Hoshino and Pratap Chatterjee. We produce progressive educational media, such as the Whirled Bank web site.

Global Arcade is another web site I helped create. It makes information about globalization more accessible using games and stories to break down the issues. The above game is called Mergeroids, where you need to blast apart the multinational corporations as they try to merge and take over the universe. It also appeared in the film Secrets of Silicon Valley. We started this project while at an artist residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada.

I helped with the Chillin' Woman web site to parody the pretentious hubris that Burning Man surrounds itself with.

This is from the Washington Monopoly game we did before the 2000 elections. It uses the Monopoly theme to show how corporate America has bought off both the Republican and Democratic parties. It earned us a mention in the New York Times.

I designed the SFRaves web site and kept the event calendar up to date for many years until 1998. The site won a Best of the Bay award from the Bay Guardian. We've been meaning to update the design for a long time, but it hasn't happened yet.
