Career

edit

In 2022, he created Human Record Player in collaboration with Weezer, where the user had to spin in a circle to hear the artist’s newest track, Records.[7]

In 2023, he created CRYNYL, an official release of Fall Out Boy’s album So Much (for) Stardust filled with the band’s tears.[8][9]

In 2024, he created Dookie Demastered, a release of Green Day's album Dookie, an official collaboration with the band where each song on the album was ported onto an "obscure, obsolete and otherwise inconvenient" format, such as a wax cylinder and a Teddy Ruxpin, and sold via a drawing.[10]

In 2024, Moore's AI chatbot Goody-2 received acclaim for its commentary on the role of censorship in artificial intelligence.[1][4][5]

In 2019, Moore partnered with Angry Birds to create the Rage Rider, an electric scooter that is controlled by the volume of the rider's screaming.[11]

In 2016, Moore created The Voter Suppression Trail, the first-ever video game for Op-Docs on The New York Times.[12][13] Around that time, he also created Thoughts & Prayers, a game inviting players to stop mass shootings with thoughts and prayers alone.[14] He followed that up in 2020 with a second Op-Doc game titled Privacy Chicken.[15]

In 2014, Moore created Cloak, an anti-social networking app that was featured on The Tonight Show.[16][17][18]

Other viral works include ZoomOut, a pull cord that escapes Zoom small talk,[19] and Hypetags, live price tags for shoes.[20]

Moore began his career in advertising, where, in 2010, he created "Dating Brian," a 30-day dating experiment.[21][22]
