We're very happy to announce that Lief Ellis will be joining the Reliquary of Labor project as our Real-time Physical Computing Integration Specialist. Internally we are referring to him as The Integrator.

Lief will be responsible for the integration of a variety of sensors: pressure, light, accelerometers etc., that we will be using in conjunction with a Teabox (from ElectroTap) and MAX/MSP. We are very excited and relieved to have found such capable hands to take care of this important aspect of our upcoming premiere performance.

Welcome Lief!
