A light that saves the stairs

The problem: The manager's office sat upstairs, out of sight. Engineers and workers climbed up just to find the door closed.
What I built: A custom status light by the stairs, with a handheld remote for the manager. Green means come up, red means busy.
The result: Nobody climbs the stairs for nothing anymore.

Three generations of the device's insides, from messy wiring to a clean circuit board — Fig. 01 — Three versions of the same device. Each one easier to repair than the last.

Managing an artwork from another city

The problem: A.R.T.'s Symbiosis installation ran at Contemporary Istanbul. Every config change meant sending someone to the venue.
What I built: Remote configuration over the internet using MQTT, so the studio could adjust the artwork from wherever they were.
The result: Fewer trips to the venue, and changes made in minutes instead of days.
