Andy Cavatorta Studio
From June 2016 to July 2017, I assisted Kinetic Artist Andy Cavatorta in the design and development of several of his personal concepts and for clients such as Barneys New York, AVL Group, and AB InBev.
Artificial Intelligence-controlled Living Environment (concept)
Living environment concept in which AI-controlled cockroaches take turns to rotate a glass sphere that conducts water and nutrients to feed and sustain other members of the herd.
Tools: Fusion 360, Keyshot, Photoshop.
The Mark IV Telharmonium (concept)
A modern concept for the fourth version of the Telharmonium, an early electrical organ developed by Thaddeus Cahill circa 1896.
Tools: Fusion 360, Keyshot.
The Whale (concept)
Artist concept. The whale is a monumental version of The Dervishes that consists of 36 motorized wings, each producing a different sound.
Tools: Fusion 360, Keyshot, Photoshop.
The Irvine (early prototypes)
The Irvine was a custom musical instrument for the AVL Cultural Foundation, inspired by the Ondes Martenot. The Irvine produces sound by oscillating 6 gallium phosphate crystals, an artificial crystal produced by the AVL Group. The instrument made its debut in Graz, Austria on October 2017.

Tools for Design: Fusion 360, Keyshot, Photoshop.
Tools for Fabrication: Laser-cutting, CNC milling, soldering, woodworking.
