I loved the practice turning assignment! Turning is magical and I’m so happy that I get to do it on a regular basis. I was pretty happy with how my piece came out but, next time, I’d like play with more variety in depth. I’m not sure if this is the right terminology but I … Continue reading PRACTICING TURNING
My final project has taken many forms and shapes over the course of the month. I think I was just super eager to tackle four of the ideas I’ve been sitting on for a year that I had trouble committing to them which caused a couple bumps in the road. I wanted to use Cyrus … Continue reading Final Project
SEE MY INITIAL PROJECT PROPOSAL HERE For my final project I worked on a long format interactive mystery. Half the story exists in p5 in the browser and the other half exists in printed form. My questions revolve around how tension is conveyed in the story. I’m hoping to strike a balance between the tension … Continue reading FINAL PROJECT – A PORTAL WAITS IN BROOKLYN
I’ve been focusing on two major systems: the material and the behaviour. Materials. I’ve switched to the stepper motor, mounted underneath my objects to fan things open and closed using springs and rubber chords to retract them. I like the stepper motor much more than the servo motor because the torque and the strength is … Continue reading Progress
The serial labs were super interested and have opened up a whole new level of interaction that I’ve implemented for other classes, particularly culinary physics which was surprising. I’ll post a video of that project here when it’s complete. Continue reading Serial Labs
Forgive me for what might be a bit of a rambling description of what I’d like to do in my final… SOME CONTEXT First, a little context might help. I’m very interested in the human act of managing mood and emotion in an attempt to create a level, positive or perhaps neutral emotional stasis. When … Continue reading Final – Kind Of Like A Game…
Lab: Using a Transistor to Control High Current Loads with an Arduino This lab helped us manage higher power supplies to control motors with a transistor. I’ve done something like this before but I’ve never seen code written straight to a transistor before. I really like this approach! Lab: DC Motor Control Using an … Continue reading WK 9 – Motors
For my final I’d like to create a short sci-fi story of the “choose your own adventure” variety with a coded accompaniment! The final presentation of this idea will be a little physical bound book that has a corresponding p5 sketch. This sketch will feature several kinds of code interactions that will be paired with … Continue reading ICM Final – Choose Your Own Adventure
This week we made sketches around the topic of pixels and sound. I made a sketch that divides the song Happy by Pharrell into the low, medium and high frequencies. It then associates each level to three varieties of brightness on the screen. The levels effect the size of the diameter of the pixels in … Continue reading Video and Sound
IDEA: Mary and I made a witch’s cauldron that acted as a kinetic prop for a small skit about teaching the room how to cast a spell. We wanted it to be a little goofy so we used cups on sticks, connected to sensors to plunk the ingredients into the cauldron. We had some loop … Continue reading Halloween Project
