Love, OutofBounds is an installation I developed with Jason Rosen for our ICM final. It was part of ITP’s Winter Show 2011.   Love, OutofBounds from karolina r z on Vimeo.   Love, OutofBounds is an interactive installation that plays with the concept of celebrity overexposure. By shining a light onto the image of a given celebrity you reveal [...]

  So here’s our final project! As I mentioned on the post about our media controller, me and Jacki decided to keep developing our project, this time transforming it into an interactive facade. So here’s our project concept: FLUID WALL Structures such as buildings, by nature, create a barrier between the outside world and the world within them. Standing on [...]

  Better late than never! Finally, here’s the post about our media controller – which took us a lot of effort. I did this with Jacki Steiner. Our first idea was to do some sort of interactive video, with projections. However, as we were brainstorming ideas, we thought it would be great if, instead of controlling video, people would control [...]

  This week’s lab is a continuation of last week’s one. We had to control a circle on the screen – a switch would make it appear and disappear on the screen, and a sensor would control the x and y positions. The task required a switch and an accelerometer; since I didn’t have the last one available, I used [...]

Well, I let this blog to dust for a while (well, I’m in NYC, there is a lot of stuff to do ), so I have a lot of keeping up. Here’s the development of my ICM sketch – I’m going to “evolve” the same drawing throughout the semester to see how I the amount of code can be reduced [...]

  Considering I’m a very visual person, this was a really cool lab. The task was to control a graph with a sensor – a potentiometer in my case. First setup pictures (really, really simple: just the potentiomenter on the Arduino): Now to the actual video controlling. I thought I should start with the graphics suggested by the professors: But [...]

  The goal of this lab is to produce simple sounds from, in my case, a piezo. Let’s start with pictures of the setup: And the results:   The first part actually resembles a theremin. Maybe I can try to built one – the only thing I have missing is the extra potentiometer. But please don’t expect it to be [...]

  Learning how to use a servo motor: simple sweep and with a knob (which, in this case, is a potentiometer). First, pictures of the setup: And the action:    

  So, with a huge delay, here is my stupid pet trick! It is a book light/mark. Initially the idea was to use a photocell + a flex sensor placed on the book spine, so that it would be recognized only by opening the book. However, due to lack of time issues (there were no flex sensors available at NYU [...]

  Two tasks: making an LED fade by turning a potentiometer and making it blink at different rates using the same device. Pictures of the setup: And here’s the action! (featuring the brand new opening credits) First the fading: Then the blinking:
