Most of the conversations we have through our life are redundant. This fact clashes with modern praise of time efficiency and real time data consumption. This device tracks conversations you have throughout your entire life, analysing your patterns of communication. Eventually, when a repeated pattern is detected, the device is able to replace you in that conversation, allowing you a freedom to explore anything and everything else.

Sporadic, banal conversations with no aim behind them are at risk of disappearing, no longer a learned or common behavior of future generations. This device tracks conversations, giving hints about open questions, accepted comments, answers, and expressions. It brings the awkward pleasure of small talk back to those who no longer interact with others for no reason.

The possible success of conversational technologies with access to all-knowledgeable semantic networks might lead to a massive disinterest in regular human beings. This device listens to one half of a conversation, and competes for your attention with related content streamed from the net. It allows you to choose where to direct your attention; towards the speaker, or the device. In this situation, the individual speaking does his or her best to pull attention away from the device and back to themselves, but is it really possible for someone be more interesting than everything else?

Many decisions made in our everyday lives are influenced by expert advice, from hairstyles to insurance policies. Yet, millions of decisions are made on a daily basis and instantly expressed through our own facial expressions without any preconceived external reassurance. We continuously strive to project a desired physical self image of ourselves, sometimes requiring most of our cognitive resources, and paradoxically, this daily challenge has a big impact on our lives. Expressions Dispatcher is designed to help people in their quest for expressiveness. In using the device we can shift expressive responsibility and place it in the hands of an expert. This life coach will follow the wearer, analysing the context they are in, and digitally take control as to how the wearer should be perceived.

Based on real neural networks, E and U, are two electronic monkey toys designed solely to find inner neural happiness. To achieve such a goal, they perceive their environment (their owner, and their partner) and themselves. Depending on their own personality they balance the importance of each entity depending on the happiness they bring to them, they modify their inner structure in order to adapt themselves to their perceptions, and at the same time, modify the way their environment interacts with them. As a result of this chaotic system, we can find and interpret infinite behaviors and relationships; stable, with ups and downs, unstable, uni and bidirectional dependency, independence, bullying, chronic depression,… All their interactions and states are offered up for people interpretation, represented in a barely decipherable pattern on the LED panels on their chests.

Walls is a hyperlocal social tool to help people re-engage with their surroundings.
I started this project while researching the future of culture and social engagement in Wieden + Kennedy Platform, thanks to Samantha Brookes support.
After working on few iterations of the tool with James Gilpin, we gathered information, experience and knowledge that allow us to understand how useful this tool can be for local communities.
Further development of the current version is on hold while we work on a new iteration ( yes, it is coming very slowly ). Meanwhile, the current site can still be accessed here: www.walls.im

Kinect powered interactive panel installed in La Rioja (Spain), developed with Sitraka Rakotoniaina and Andrew Friend.
It is believed this was the first interactive installation ever shown in the land of best wines.
The futuristic surface, designed as a single self-contained device, was used to navigate through a map of the city, and explore its cultural spots.
The surface didn't need to be touched in order to control the projection, but gave people a reference and strong entrance point, to jump in, and start controlling the installation with more confidence than when they need to explore the possibilities freely, performing gestures in the air.

A simple blog-style consultation site used by the City of London to ask people how they would change the area to make it more suitable to their needs based on the use they make of it.
The consultation is now closed, but some of the comments are still available here: www.bankarea.co.uk

I worked as a technical assistant on these three suits used by The Black Eyed Peas on their - The Beginning Tour 2011 -
They allowed for full color animations to be controlled wirelessly.
The project was carried out for Philips Lighting under the directorship of the lighting designer Rogier van der Heide. The technical team was led by Benjamin Males, and the Design team by the designer Nancy Tilbury.

YCN designed and built a colorful and playful stand for the University of the Arts London. I helped them by building the interactive installation in the core of the stand.
The installation consisted of a green screen style photobooth, in which people could picture themselves within a picturesque future, by pressing a big custom green button. The picture taken would automatically be added to a grid of pictures displayed in the stand. This display would also be used as interface by the staff to delete unwanted pictures, or publish them to the YourUALFuture Facebook page.

Together with Sitraka Rakotoniaina, we joined Richard Pearce and Alex Griffin from Partizan to create this interactive piece.
An inverted field with fans that create an air flow through it that maps people flowing through the space. It was displayed in London, in Summer 2011 on a private event held by Wallpaper Magazine and Reebook.

With a very small team, we developed the first version of this online service for a leading Printer's company from Barcelona.
That first iteration of the tool allowed people to store their photos online and generate custom albums, posters, calendars and other products. They could save their designs, and order them at any time in the future. The tool automatically generated high quality pdf documents ready to print of the ordered products.
I spent over half a year working on this project. I was responsible for overseeing all the technical development, as well as act as a bridge between the technical team, the design team and the client, design the data models, and develop the module that generated the files to print.
The tool have gone through various redesigns since tehn. It can be accessed here: www.photolife.es

This project consisted of three multitouch tables developed for the Saudi Arabia Pavillion. These were the most sophisticated multitouch table I developed while in Emotique. They used double partially overlaped rear projections, IR based motion tracking and really advanced planotech projection screen technology. I was responisble for the execution of the project, and the hardware design and production. I developed the final aplication, and the core libraries for the management of multitouch events, which were used on other multitouch aplications as well.

Another multitouch table developed in 2008. In this case, the table was used as an advanced navigation panel to access multimedia information about the main petrol companies in Qatar. The media was displayed in a big LED screen.

A double projection, motion based, football game for the Toyota’s stand in the Barcelona International Motor Show developed in Eotique.
