Ideas that kept us up at night.
The things we make when nobody is asking. Each one starts with a question we couldn't put down, and a lot of what we bring to client work was figured out here first, late, on the bench.
DeepCut
An app that reads your Spotify or Tidal library and tells you the story your years of saved songs have been telling.
Story over chart. A dashboard is something you squint at. Liner notes are something you read.
Hover to watch The Humanoid
An animatronic humanoid with a face that moves, eyes that look back at you, and a torso full of servos. It started as a head and kept growing.
Start with the part that looks back at you. Everything else can grow from there.
Anansi
The job queue behind Eshu and DeepCut. It hands out the work, keeps track of who is doing it, and notices when something falls over.
Build the thing that runs the things once. Then stop rebuilding it for every project.
Eshu
Point it at a house and Eshu reads eleven public records on it, then writes the story of that house and its block in plain language, with every number next to something that makes it mean something.
Every place has a story. The data is how you find it.
Hover to watch BigMuddy
A delta 3D printer of Charles's own design that prints in clay slip instead of plastic.
Nobody asked for a printer that prints in mud. That is usually where the good stuff is.
