The Disreflect Sweater employs a blinding vertical reflective stripe to obscure the contour of the person clad in black. Architect Stacey Rigely developed the design and constructed the sweater from an initial concept by Cameron McNall.
The Assemblage Dress is a combination of two garments, split into two sides in a provocative manner that is not symmetrical. The style, texture, function and size of the two sides are dissimilar in all respects, presenting a very different impression when viewed from different angles. Apparel designer Katelyn Meadows developed the design and constructed the dress from an initial concept by Cameron McNall.
Stacey Rigely brilliantly modeled both garments. 2014

SKATE 1.0 is an abstract virtual skate park manifested through an immersive light and sound installation. 60 lights and a 12.2-channel sound system generate 300,000 lumens of intense light that moves above, below, and around viewers. It was realized with Electroland partner Damon Seeley at the Los Angeles A+D Museum. Dane Davis generously lent sounds from his library. The intent was to convey some aspect of the motion and violence of skateboarding through sound and light.

Seven large-scale shadow installations of iconic movie scenes are precisely situated on rooftops to cast figurative shadows onto the building facades across the street. The shadows refer to their Hollywood place of production and suggest that "public language" and "city memory" are inextricably tied to ephemeral media images. The sun provides both the illumination to re-project these optically gained images and the motion to animate them. 2002
