Nonotak Studio

Nonotak is a collaborative installation and performance project that explores the concept and themes of illusion and infinity. It combines architecture and sculpture to create installations with light and sound. The project was designed with the question of how to create the sense of infinity within a closed space and how to make audiences physically feel that way. Nonotak has helped change how people view how technology can compliment art and how the use of audio can affect audience engagement.

Mario Teaches Typing

Mario Teaches Typing is a typing simulator with an appearance of a standard Mario-Like Platformer. On screen is two hands that show which fingers you should be using as letters appear on the screen. When typed correctly, Mario will complete levels that begin with simple single letters to strings of sentences at later levels. A report card is given at the end of the players time to breakdown the details of their performance; such as accuracy and WPM. Due to the popularity of Mario as a character, it helped to bring more attention to its release, though how useful the game was is slightly questionable.
