Touch The Sun Mobile App
The mobile version of the Galileo Drawings App is called simply Touch The Sun after the exhibition that sparked the idea for it. Touchscreen drawing possibilities are what first sparked my interest in creating a drawing-driven interaction for the Solar Dynamics Observatory images.
Touch the Sun Desktop App
This desktop application was designed for Chabot Space and Science center. Users are presented with recent images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and prompted to make guided observations, using their fingers on the touchscreen to draw the features they see.
SDO Screen: User Interface
This is the main user interface for an exhibition at Chabot Space and Science Center. It is driven largely by imagery from the Solar Dynamics Observatory: a NASA mission in orbit broadcasting stunning imagery of the Sun back to Earth.
A great “fan video” for Bright Black

Anaphylactic: graphic seasons
Building on the idea that musicians are artists and should be presented in a fashion similar to gallery artists, I created a graphic identity for Anaphylactic that would support this vision visually.
De-Mobbing at The Headlands Center
De-Mobbing is an exhibition on post-military space curated by Brian Karl, program director at The Headlands Center for the Arts. I’ll be showing images from my series West Mountain Exposure: shot near the Idaho National Labs facilities last November.
“Proof” at Southern Exposure: 9/16-10/8
I’m happy to be included in this year’s juried exhibition at Southern Exposure in San Francisco. I’ll be showing the first print from my new series of optical arrangements shot in rural Sweden: a cropped version of the the untitled piece is seen above. The juror this year is Denise Markonish, a curator at MASS MoCA.
San Francisco Chronicle on “Colored Rooms”
I designed this house where half the rooms are white with colored light, and half are colored with white light. People can reach in with their hands, and compare what their skin looks like in the adjacent rooms.
Tear Machine (Tearful Reflection)
Soapy water is pumped onto a small acrylic platform in small tear-like amounts. By lighting the liquid drops from behind and providing a mirror at the right distance, users can reflect on their own reflection, now with tears streaming down their faces. For many, this induces a powerful empathy response, and their mood can quickly swing to a state of sadness and alarm.
Sky Mirror Prototype
Charles had long been looking for a way to create a device that would compare the variations in color at different areas of the sky. He created the prototype seen above, using lego motors, and we took these images while testing it at Fort mason’s Great Meadow.
Chronicle Books : Things Are Looking Up
My public art proposal piece “Things Are Looking Up” is included in the new publication from Chronicle Books: “Everything is Going to be OK”.
This pocket-sized volume is filled with artwork bearing mottos of encouragement and affirmation. Featuring work from a diverse roster of indie artists, designers, and crafters.

KQED on “Speed of Sound”
“Along with cable cars and seagulls, the Golden Gate Bridge foghorn is one of San Franciscos most iconic sounds. But did you know that if you hear that foghorn off in the distance, you can calculate how many miles you are from the bridge? Using the Speed of Sound exhibit at the Outdoor Exploratorium at Fort Mason, Shawn Lani shows us how sound perception is affected by distance.”
Portable Observatories
Portable Observatories was an attempt to provide small guides to the immediate surroundings in a way that would not impede too much on the landscape. We wanted the publications to be portable, so that the user takes it with her and shares with friends and family.
San Francisco Chronicle on “Speed of Sound”
The San Francisco Chronicle mentioned this exhibit in Reyhan Armici’s piece “Outdoor Exploratorium takes science in stride” (March 15th 2009). “The lesson is Physics 101 – the speed of light is much faster than sound – but it’s so much more compelling to see it happening in real time.”
Speed of Sound
Richard Brown and I came up with the idea for Speed of Sound during a walk to the grounds of Fort Mason military base in San Francisco. Through binoculars I watched Richard clap his hands a few hundred feet away from me, while it took and an additional half second for the sound of the clapping to reach my ears.
Audio Post
Audio Post was designed to activate the otherwise quiet parking lot at Fort Mason in San Francisco. Drivers who park are presented with a sign, announcing the radio frequency. As most cars have FM radios, we found drivers willing to park and listen.
SF Weekly : Love for Anaphylactic
