DJ Phonetic is an open source online tool for making beats with the kicks, snares, and hi-hats that are hidden within historical speech djphonetic.brianfoo.com
Made a simple online tool ("CultureCraft") for painting with fragments of visual culture using open access collections from museums and libraries such as the Met, the Smithsonian, and the New York Public Library: culturecraft.brianfoo.com/app/
