candy making research continues!

So with the high humidity, high temperatures and almost windless day we(myself and Robert Pasternak) decided to spend the day in the kitchen cranking up the heat on some candy making research and development. The focus was on making some prototype lollies for Roberts
Jackson Pollicks project.

We had a great day fine tuning the process. Looking good!

Lick My LEDs!

That's the name of my new installation which I am preparing for the Durham Art Gallery in Ontario. The Common Pulse Media Arts Festival will be the weekend of June 10-12. I'll be doing a three week residency as part of the festival. The concept of the project is Candy Computing ver .01. The basic form is Lectric Lollies. I'm combining my recent interest in hard candy making, microcontrollers and electronics. My friend Robert Pasternak is helping out with some cool packaging.

more candy!

My friend Robert Pasternak came by to work on some candy making explorations with me last weekend.

We had a good day looking through recipes, talking about comics and making some really nice looking candy.
