“Donate directly is through the Weill-Cornell Hospital (GHESKIO) in Port-au-Prince Haiti”: http://wcmchelpshaiti.org
This hospital is located close to ground zero of the earthquake and many med students and doctors were injured but are still assisting far too many patients. My brother Eliot is a med student at Cornell and is trying to get money going directly to the hospital instead of getting caught up in bureaucratic non-profit system. http://www.med.cornell.edu/globalhealth

Identity system for Cambridge, MA based CityVoter, a leading social media platform for running “best of” city promotions. Designed for Tank with Andrew Smiles. The identity system is based around the idea that CItyVoter is the conclusion to your questions about entertainment in your city. CityVoter.com is a destination site that allows people to vote and comment on destinations and entertainment, share photos etc. So part of the system was a number of tagline questions: Have you seen, Have you heard, Have you been to … CityVoter.

This project has been an on-going series of experiments in which the basic shapes of the American flag are stripped of their identifying features and broken apart slightly. The shapes are then placed in different contexts to test what kind of meaning they can take on. Each part in the series has yielded an interesting number of responses from bar code to prison bars to a divided union.

This creates a container of sorts. The basic idea behind this is that EXTRARCHITECTURAL is a collaborative of different artists and designers working together at different times places, etc. EXTRARCHITECTURAL itself can be seen as a container that holds different types of people and projects at any given time, adaptable to multiple uses.

Proposal for an outdoor projection. The projection would be at night onto a construction barrier or blank wall on a dark portion of a street. It is intended to function as an RSS feed reader. Images of newspaper front pages are drawn from the Newseum and displayed in a changing grid. The large text headlines would feed from an alternative source such as NPR. Colors used in the newspapers would fill empty grid blocks and act as a background for the text feed.
