February 1, 2019 | Rutgers University, New Jersey
Invited by Rutgers STEAM
June - August 2018 | Google NYC, 111 8th Ave, Manhattan, NY
Merging the use of paper and digital surfaces as mediums to facilitate community engagement:
Wallpaper Patterns hang on walls of the Google NYC office, alongside markers, for employees and visitors to add color to. Extra pattern print-outs with “coloring challenges” to puzzle over, and an interactive digital component accompany the wall posters.
The installation evolved as passersby engaged with the artwork and added color.

An Interactive Coloring Exhibition
// Algorithmic Art // Exploration Through Animation //
// Coloring Puzzles // Arcade Games //
June 3, 2018 | Babycastles in Manhattan NY
Lightly lecturing on the mathematical study of symmetry, "debugging" artworks by M.C. Escher, and producing wallpaper patterns in breakout coloring exercises.
Free, with materials provided.
February 28, 2018 | Creative Coding NYC
A talk about the artistic inspiration, programmatic implementation, and mathematical theory of "Illustrating Group Theory". Event Link
January 2018 | Recurse Center in Manhattan NY
Discussed the programming methods used to develop the content of "Illustrating Group Theory", and how these methods leverage mathematical theory in order to illustrate that very theory in an interactive format. The mathematical discussion was guided by digital interactions, moments of debugging M.C. Escher's artistic works, and exercises with pen and paper.
January 2018 | AngularNYC Meetup, hosted at Google in Manhattan NY
Technical talk about the implementation of a digital coloring book and developing algorithms in Javascript to produce artwork. Link
May 2017 | Pioneer Works, Brooklyn NY
The Brooklyn community was invited to color on the walls and learn about math. Large-scale prints of frieze patterns were posted to the wall for the public to color in; an interactive display of those same pattern groups was projected on an adjacent wall for passersby to play with and better understand the algorithms behind the patterns projected.
A special event targeted for younger children involved piecing together design cutouts to create more new patterns like the ones projected on the wall, as well as working together on special coloring worksheets.
