The famous Shibya crossing is one of the busiest intersections in the world. It is surrounded by some incredible shopping and archictctte! What a wonderful day.
The teamLab Borderless exhibit in Tokyo shows what is possible with interactive art. From video projection to three dimensional LED or other installation, i was constantly wondering what i would find around the corner. Brining life was a reoccurring theme with one room literally having flowers spring up around slow moving visitors.
I had a great time this year. i went deep into the sticker game and spent WAY too much time playing with the badge. Playing with the badge allowed me to meet and work with some incredible people with whom we learned, laughed, and lamented the badge’s terrible supplied SD cards. This year i brought flyers to promote my phone adventure game and joined in #StickerLife with a supply of stickers of my own. unfortunately the printers gave me too many flyers, but not enough stickers.
My game did get some traction this year for the first time. Still no winners, but i did get this incredible voicemail from one of the players. I appreciated more ridiculous phone stuff. great job whoever you are! EDIT: i think i found you Foxbox!
The Badge had a lot of problems. only some of which were patched with updates. I excitedly made changes, but then the SD card would fail and be unable change back. currently mine is stuck as a Mario Game, which is not so terrible. i can finish the Defcon GameBoy game on an emulator.


I couldn’t pass through Dallas for the Eclipse without stopping at the newest installation by my favorite art collective. I was ready to continue my immersive art experience. No booping this time, you collected accomplishments with TXT messages. (i found a few secrets). As usual, the reality bending transitions and transposition of Meow Wolf installation delight and amuse.








I have been walking into refrigerators at Meow Wolf since visiting House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe. It was exciting to see that all refrigerators come together in the latest installation. I had to try out the popsicle door.



I have wanted to climb Ladyface for ages. The weather was perfect and my morning was free. As i drove over, there was some fog still suspended in the morning chill. Flowers were blooming, bees buzzing, and bunnies taking care of buisness. The view from the bottom was a bit daunting. I spent too much time with my camera and drone, so i didn’t quite reach the summit. i also allowed more time than required for the decent. I will return in part 2!

The Nike Missile Site LA-88 is back in the mountains of Chatsworth, not far from Oat Mt. It’s an impressive 450 foot gain from the parking, but it’s a pretty cool piece of Los Angeles’ Cold War history. The site includes some great dilapidation if your like that kind of thing. Ruins of two Buses and a car as well as a few buildings and some very sketchy entrances into dark underground places.



I am still working out how to share my 3D stuff. hopefully i’ll have more soon. EDIT: here is a video i cut together from adventures at the last lodge we stayed at in Botswana. Enjoy.
