Interactive Music, The Nature of Code

A virtual space to experience and interact with mosquitoes.

http://viniyatapany.com/of-aedes-and-anopheles.html

Description

As cities grow, the native species become endangered, or even locally extinct. The most prominent, and rather singular view of urbanization does not take into consideration our coexistence with wildlife. Of Aedes and Anopheles is a conversation centered around peoples' aversion to wildlife in urban environments.

The experience emulates the natural occurrence of mosquitoes circling over one's head in VR. What used to be a common occurrence, has almost become unfamiliar to urban residents.

Voronoi Mirror is an interactive sketch where users can see themselves in a distorted video capture that follows the Voronoi diagram.

Description

Voronoi Mirror uses the toxiclibs and mesh library in Processing. I first created lots of clusters, and then each node became a Voronoi point. Using video, the sketch captures the user's portrait in a distorted Voronoi mirror. The sketch moves and creates a new Voronoi diagram every time the user presses a button.

Explore the universe composed of cheerful moments around you.

Description

Every moment today can be captured in 360, effortlessly. It then lives on in an universe of unexplored expanding moments, never to really be explored.

I found this notion a very interesting parallel, with an odd juxtaposition to the way we explore the universe. On the one hand we are building worlds, and on the other we are searching for new worlds.

One Moment, One World is a video installation which tries to find an intersect of these processes and represent them in an immersive and playful way.

This project is used to visualize the emotion of the lively sound.

Description

Singing is a way to express feelings. We can tell the emotion’s change through the changing of tone or pitch. With this project, you could see the mood changes of the song through the lively visualization.

Explore the Coral Reef

Description

Coral Reef is a 3D world created in Unity 3D. Beside static background, we can observe multiple school of fish swimming around the scene. The users become one of the fish, and can discover and explore the colorful coral reef by themselves while listening to peaceful soundtrack from 'Finding Nemo'. Ideally, I'd love to put this project to VR, if not, it could work well on a screen.

The Nature of Code

An interactive visual representation of magnetic fields.

Description

Laws of attraction describe a tendency to attract or repel each other. This project aims to mimic the magnetic effect which is usually invisible to the naked eye. Users are encouraged to create new magnetic field and see how they all interact and create beautiful patterns. Once satisfied, users can save the pattern they created as an image.
