Music Column comes to a close

Working with Jin Yo has been more than inspiring and rewarding to say the least. Even at the end of the semester, I was really excited to make it down there. It's almost like going into a play area, a little different from the one at ITP.

Just sitting in his studio and observing and listening to him is more than what I could learn in a single class.

The music column project has come to an end here in NYC. The full installation will go on in Jeju Islands, Daum Headquarters in Korea for the opening on the 16th of Feb 2006. I hope everything just comes together for him over there. He made everything from scratch! From looking at his project, I've noticed that he's a pefectionist. Jin Yo knows detail and is a fine crafter. I'm just lucky he decided to use my help.

Jin Yo worked with a professional engineer, Steve Hirschman, to get some help in the audio part and the serial communication part.

Can't wait till he comes back in Feb to start his new project.

Metal work at Studio

Grinded, sanded the metal pipe for JY today. The part where the user cranks the handle to get the music column rotating. It's really turning out nicely. Almost looks a little worn, but it looks really good. He was very pleased with the look we were able to get. I'm trying to go in as much as possible. At least for now, before I head back to Korea. I can't believe I've only got a week left .

New read. I must get a new reading list from him for the winter break.

Did a little LED research for him too online. I need to get more info for him for Wednesday. I LOVE going into his studio. I'm learning so much that it's as worthwhile as going into a pcomp class! :) LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Row Column Scanning, Using ULN2004A

Grinded metal all day today and on my break, Jin Yo asked me to do my first matrix. I really enjoy going to his studio. Of course, I'm there to help him out, doing laborous work, but so far, it's totally been worth my time. Everything that comes out of his mouth, I try to remember and learn. Today, I did some row-column scanning, using a transistor array, ULN2004A.
