Sea of Light – Final
(Video above) If you can’t see the player here’s the link: http://vimeo.com/38696764 This project visualizes the dynamic movement of water through a grid of LEDs and translates the amplitude of sound into simulated gusts of wind. A LED matrix is connected to an accelerometer to detect a level datum in the hopes of simulating a boat [...]
ICM-final-(WorkInProgress)
For my ICM final I wanted to make an application to visualize a live tessellating grid. It needed two components. One window to draw the primary shape and a second window to display the primary shapes repeatedly in a grid. This takes homage from M.C.Esher’s tessellation drawings. This project is currently in its work-in-progress phase. [...]
Sea of Light-Process
This project visualizes the dynamic movement of water through a grid of LEDs and translates the amplitude of sound into simulated gusts of wind. A LED matrix is connected to an accelerometer to detect a level datum in the hopes of simulating a boat floating in water. It is attached to a rounded base with embedded [...]
Playing with Pixels – ICM midterm
This is my Intro to Computational Media Midterm. Using a for() loop inside a for() to chart each color of the pixel and the same to align each square into a grid. Several behaviors are added to each pixel so when moreover it begins to fall, stops at the bottom and changes color.
HeartWave-Media Controller Project-Process
Media Controller – Mid-term Project with Doug Kanter, Engin Ayaz and I. The final Video : (Video above, here’s the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=H2zlVzZ9mqY) And here’s the process blog: After a few rounds of brainstorming we’ve narrow our project to water as the medium to control and bio-metric feedback as the input that controls the medium. Heartbeat [...]
Times Square Forever21 Screen
“Observation. Pick a piece of interactive technology in public, used by multiple people. “ This is a live display where people can see themselves on this giant LED screen in real time. There’s an added element where characters on the screen interacts with the live footage. One example here is the girl on screen takes [...]
Oct 13 2011
It was a bad long weekend that ended pretty okay. Columbus day weekend was filled with group meetings and intense ICMing. So intense that I broke my butt from sitting… Realizing that fun was not fully had I was a bit sad. But in class it looks like all that group meetings, film shootings, and [...]
The Stupid Banana Peeler
The Stupid Pet Trick project. I started this project by committing to using a 4.5″ flex sensor. In thinking about the movements involved to activate the flex sensor the motion of peeling a banana was really attractive. So with the lack of a better ideas I started crafting the Stupid Banana Peeler. Schematic Plans. Test [...]
Oct 6, 2011
Survived the stupid pet trick and another week at ITP… and with that so many backup blog entries… How do I feel now? Good… I’m getting the hang of things here on the 4th floor. Well, still behind a bit but having put my hours here in the shop for the stupid pet trick I’ve [...]
Sep 29 2011
9am quiet work-study shift with all my classes of the week behind me, Thursday mornings are the best time for me to regroup myself. So these entries start today. Where am I? A bit behind of the workload. Felt terrible after pComp last night. But did some technical backend stuff in the wee hours so [...]
ITP Dream Soundscape
ITP-Dream Soundscape (click for audio track) Project with Lisa Park and Tak Cheung. We wanted to manipulate sound. Somehow deceive the audience into drawing up imagery from unrelated sources. For example, we imagined if framed within the right context typing on the keyboard can sound a lot like birds chirping or the humming of the [...]
Color Mapping Glasses
For my fantasy device project I wanted to design something for people with color-blindness, in whatever degree. These imaginary color mapping glasses has two cameras that maps the visual field. It then translates grouping of colors and applies a uniform visual pattern over the live image. These glasses will help differentiate the color spectrum for those [...]
So Sleepy ICM
Intro to Computational Media This video shows a simple running Processing code that tracks the X and Y mouse movement. Moving down with the cursor opens up the left eye and moving right opens the right eye, both at 5 pixels per frame. Otherwise the eyes closes at 1 pixel per frame.(java mode [...]
Mustache Switch
As part of our first homework assignment (digital input and output) we were asked to reinterpret what an electrical switch can be. I wanted to do something with a smile, so this lead to a mustache-like apparatus as the electrical switch. Smiling transforms this aluminum switch from a “closed” Burt Reynolds mustache into an “opened” fu [...]
Arduino -Digital Input and Output
First class assignment for my intro to Physical Computing. Connecting and running a simple input and output model. itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/Labs/DigitalInOut
Applications Class-Team Awesome
This is Team Awesome! aka group 2. Applications, this is the class all first year grad students at ITP take. It is Red Burn’s class. The first half of the class are student/group reactions on the lecture given the prior week. The second half of the class Red invites somebody profound and mind-blowing to serenade [...]
