JPDA worked with artist Melanie Crean to develop the interface and installation strategy for a multi-media interactive artwork entitled Shape of Change. The project investigates how American and Iraqi people represent personal and political change through two works:

The first is an online archive that tracks citizens' desire for political change as the two countries attempt to disengage from one another politically.

The second project is a smaller work documenting an infant's early development as he learns to walk and speak, and thus establish himself as an independent social subject.

The projects serve as a counterpoint to one another to create a portrait of the ephemeral nature of change, independence and formation of identity.

An experiential electronic field guide project, using a continuously updated database of personalized location descriptions to lead visitors on "rediscovery" tours through post-9/11 downtown Manhattan.

Users walk through the streets with a wireless Palm handheld computer, and using GPS satellite technology, they are directed towards points of interest in their immediate vicinity. Visitors can add their own comments at any time as they use the system, further enriching and expanding the database of sites.

The O2 Concept Store was conceived as a physical embodiment of the O2 brand sensibility and a showcase for the company’s core services. The space is organized around the practical integration of O2 into the daily activities of the visitor, emphasizing the accessibility and creative lifestyle exclusively available through O2.

The core of the store experience consists of the four interactive worktables - Photo, Video, Music, and Games - which are focused on specific creative activities enabled by O2 products and services. Each table is clearly identified by both a neon lamp above, and a unique base created from stacked iconic paraphernalia and accessories related to the activities.
