Sometimes I create art. I used to write code. Now I micromanage. An industrial-dashboard reminder of the new role: each Claude session gets a slot — green when a prompt is processing, red when the AI is idle and waiting on me for more reviews, more prompts, more tokens.
A large illuminated sign styled like an old-school pizzeria box. It tracks a streak nobody wants: the number of days since I last ate pizza. Any day is a great day for apizza. The glowing red digits serve as a constant, shameful reminder of my culinary abstinence.
A mechanical split-flap display. Instead of departures, it tallies the incremental, hard-earned dollars from various side projects. The satisfying 'clack-clack' sound it makes when a new digit rolls over provides disproportionate dopamine for the actual amount earned.
A large, physical gauge mounted in the entryway. A bright red arrow, driven by a hidden servo, silently slides back and forth along a minimalist number line to indicate the current outdoor temperature. It's aggressively analog.
Kinetic desk sculptures. Small motors hidden in stark white columns drive erratic, twitchy movements of colorful spheres on long wire stems.
An alien seed pod dropped into a dark, snowy yard, glowing with unnatural light. This piece is inspired by the iconic forms of Roger Rougier's mid-century modern lamps, reinterpreted for an outdoor, surreal context. It glows brightest when the temperature drops below freezing.
A neon map of the United States. A vivid blue outline forms the borders, while a continuous, swooping red loop charts the chaotic cross-country migration from Vermont to Oregon. It serves as both a luminescent memory and a piece of geographic pop art.
A tall, rectangular floor lamp featuring a complex, repetitive floral pattern cut out of the wooden sides. A stylized cactus silhouette anchors the front panel, casting intricate shadows when lit in a dark room.
A pair of glowing pop-art pieces. The left is a stark, hypnotic target of pure, saturated pink and orange light. The right is a layered, glowing landscape featuring a classic camper silhouette against a vibrant, striped neon sunset.
A towering, spindly floor lamp that looks like it might walk away. A glowing, cyan-hued orb is suspended in a chaotic nest of thin black metal rods. It casts a moody, cinematic light across the vaulted ceiling.
