|Hard Rock Tea House| (2007) A casual “tea ceremony” was held at the foot of a pair of large granite boulders in a rocky desert canyon behind A-Z West and near Joshua Tree National Park.

|Whisper of the Discoball| (2006) A fresco painting.

|Pimp My Heart|(2006) A performance/vehicle intervention that uses an invented HBBB system to amplify the heartbeat of a car driver in real time through an interface with a beefed up car audio aftermarket system. An ultimate unity between car and driver.

Pimp My Heart @ San Jose Grand Prix

|Kiddy Nirvana| (work in progress) A quick and easy solution for your spiritual need. One minute Nirvanic ride for just 25 cents.
|Dreaming TV Buddha| (2005) A robotic Buddha head that purifies the information comes through TV.  
|Infermaria| (2005) Four infirmary rooms of an old building were turned into large camera obscuras to capture the ghosts of children's memory. The scenic view of the Northern Italian village outside of the building; mountains, blue sky, lush trees, and houses appeared inside of the darkened rooms upside-down like dreamlike apparitions.
|Masticator| (2005) A headgear with a custommade electronic device that gives audio-visual feedback of chewing during meals. At each chew the device beeps and counts the number of chews on the LED digital display. The headgear is called Masticator, and one who wears the headgear also becomes the Masticator.
|7days| (2005) A sound installation created for the "Seeing double: Encounters with Warhol" show at The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. Eighteen hours of unedited recordings of the artist's heartbeat for each day of a week played back at a stairway to recreate the "body" in moments in a ritualistic fashion.
|THE THRID EYE PROJECT| (2002) A video headgear for an out-of-body experience. The visual experience of the headgear is similar to that of a 3D video game in which the user controls and follows a given character from behind. The device turns the user into the character that s/he is controlling and real space is transformed into virtual space.
|Untitled (Self portrait)| (2002) A sculpture made of silicon and acrylics.
