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
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
I found this week very frustrating. I spent so many hours just trying to get the dataset that I constructed to show up in p5 that, by the time I even had the smallest amount of success, all my ideas were unfeasible. For some reason I kept encountering this error that would endlessly loop my … Continue reading ICM WK 7
This week we learned about the DOM and all the great, exciting features that go along with it. This was a cool learning experience for me. Prior to this, I had no idea that javascript was so inherently capable! Below is the link to my code. I made a little mad lib out of a … Continue reading The DOM
I wanted to create some kind of (literally any kind) of behaviour that emulated a natural movement of biological system structure. It was a very frustrating experience. I continually received strange errors in the array. It would work for a round or two before highlighting an operational function, only to claim that it was no … Continue reading A Virus
This week we had to update our code to add objects and functions. It’s great to see how much easier it is to read! I’m a little shaky on how to really utilize the index.html file of the editor. I function understand that I need to call the .js file but that’s about all I … Continue reading Updated Code with Objects & Functions
I am obsessed with the work of fabricator, eyewear designer and afrofuturistic artist Cyrus Kabiru. He uses found objects to create these incredible wearables that look as though they are straight out of a science fiction novel. (See more images here) For a while, I’ve been toying with the idea of recreating (and animating!) his … Continue reading A Coded Ode to Cyrus Kabiru
I really enjoyed this week’s assignment. We were tasked with adapting our portrait to encompass animation, both governed by the mouse and autonomous. The goal was to create codependent variables to make your code a efficient as possible. I was pleased to find that all of my coding was able to be done in p5.js … Continue reading All of the Variables
Coding is a little like a super power, or at least, that’s how it feels! With code, I can make my computer, a machine that otherwise bears very little interest in me, have a two way conversation, listening and responding to the instructions given, returning interesting visuals along the way. Coding allows inanimate objects like … Continue reading Coding is a Super Power
