His work has explored this fascination with pure sensory experience both in large public artworks and interactive media and film. is public art projects include the lighting project Tilikum Light in Portland, Oregon that uses data from the Willamette River to control dynamic lighting on the Tilikum Crossing bridge and Sublimare at the San Diego airport where a dynamic lighting installation is controlled using real-time data from a wave buoy off the coast of California.
