This course challenges students to combine three technologies – object-oriented programming, 3D modeling and digital fabrication – toward making an everyday data object.

Description

Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects is designed, on the one hand, as pure creative experimentation with technical tools, and on the other hand, as exercise in critical thinking and conceptual strategy. The ultimate goal of this course for each student, in attempting to converge these two processes, to develop a dual attitude towards technology that will empower them to master any tool as a vehicle for expression.

**** This project would be a part of UX LAB: A journey into the Cooper Hewitt ****

**** Prefer you to watch this VDO https://vimeo.com/93448180 ****

Change perceptions of the museum from a boring and too conceptual place into a fun and interesting place through the Cooper Hewitt Museum website. The idea is… “Viewing art should be as fun as watching other web entertainments.” So, we are going to make the collection of the Cooper Hewitt come alive with a personal music video that integrates the art collection, song, together with your own move through a web cam.

How it works:

1. Enter the site.

2. Select the theme. (Each them has a few animated images and song.)

3. Learn about the collection before get started.

4. Start making your VDO.

5. Save or share your VDO.

6. Done and explore other collections.
