Visualization of some fun facts on programmers and their preference on coffee in Lebanon
This project is a visualization of a dataset reflecting 100 Lebanese programmers' preference on when, what kind of and how many cups of coffee they have in a day.
Catch the stars here and go through a beautiful archive for The Little Prince's memory.
This is an immersive project that provides a meditating artistic experience using a machine learning model PoseNet. On this website, users' poses will be detected and shown on the screen in an abstract way, with the setting of a night sky. There are twikling stars on the top of the page, and the users could “catch” them. When users touch a particular star, he/she will be presented with a story from the book The Little Prince. There are six stars altogether, in each of them is one chapter from The Little Prince. There would be text on the page, along with a voice narrative and the backgroud music. The project aims to navigate people through a dreamy journey.
Create drawings by posing them out!
Using our bodies to draw isn’t something new, but using our bodies to create a moving world on the canvas is. For this project, I would like to create a work called “poseCreate”. In poseCreate, users can imitate the objects they would like to draw and the animation of the object they imitate will appear on the canvas, therefore they are able to create a moving image on the canvas.
When the rhythm of dancer and computer graphics communicate with each other.
Rhythm, or 律 in Chinese, means both the pattern of things and the rhythm of sound. In this project, we aim to explore the rhythm of body movement and how can it be integrated into the computer graphics. The hand gesture and body movement of the dancer guide the movement and change of the pattern, the pattern in return communicates with the dancer while maintaining its own rhythm.
You will be okay.
These are magical, hand-knit, arcane, medieval gloves (likely worn by a wizard or herbalist or elf) modeled off archer's gauntlets from antiquity whose accelerometer data runs into p5.js. The sketch is simple: it says that “you will be okay.” The background HSB is what the parsed-through data operates on.
“You will be okay.” Is it a promise? A mantra? A wish? A cry? I'm not sure I know—perhaps that's the point. I am certain, however, of how therapeutic this work was for me to make. It was one of my first moments where I really felt like I entered a flow state when coding. I didn't plan for the text to say what it did, but I found my hands typing: ('you will be okay', positionX/2, positionY);
It was therapeutic, sitting on my fire escape knitting. Maybe I was yearning for certainty, something that came through the attempt at manufacturing some semblance of artificial control. Being able to cast spells with little arm guards I made myself in solitude felt healing. Archers wear arm guards because they do not want to get bruised by their own longbow string; for me, because I have the privileges and safety associated with having all my basic needs met like having housing stability and ample food and drink, quarantine has mainly been a battle with myself. So I like that the same body that can be so destructive to itself is also able to make something that's a shield. Like, I needed to make this because I make myself unwell sometimes. But I can make this with the same hands and make myself less unwell, too. Attenuating destructive hands with shields of soft embrace. Protective armor that still is able to say “I love the world.” Knit chainmail.
The colors are very sensitive to your motion. If your arm quivers, so do they. If you want to let out your aggression, the colors accept you. If you want to move slower, flow, dance, they mirror you. I've been dancing in my apartment a lot lately. That often makes me feel like I will be okay.
How might we create stylized Chinese typefaces though machine learning ?
Glyph poems in motion is a machine learning experiment create by Yuguang(YG) Zhang and Henry Haoyu Wang. In the process, we applied two generative adversarial network (GAN) into Chinese typefaces. With the first GAN, we created glyphs based on a list of font data. With the second GAN, we applied image into the text. With the moving glyph and new shape styles. We creates a new ways how views can read these text.
aaalone is a series of concrete poetry experiments about my interpretation of loneliness during self-quarantine.
aaalone is a series of concrete poetry experiments about reconstructing language to interpret loneliness in the context of both English and Chinese. The project is focused on using programming languages (python and javascript) to break down the visual language that we are using daily and create a new visual form in which the visual aspect is more meaningful than the verbal meaning itself. The collection of concrete poems takes viewers to look at my relationship with loneliness. It is also meant to help them reflect on their feelings during the self-quarantine.
100 days of future sketches are my way to sketch out ideas of dynamic interactive/psychedelic visuals for web.
Infinite Scroll is an interactive installation that seeks to address mindless scrolling in social media by extending the feed outside of the phone and into user's physical surroundings, ultimately bringing them to question how much of what they scrolled through they actually remember.
With social media platforms’ infinite scroll capabilities, most people have become desensitized to the sheer amount of information and emotions they are exposed to in their online feeds, quickly scrolling or swiping past content that does not instantly draw their attention.
Infinite Scroll is an interactive installation that seeks to address this mindless scrolling by extending the feed outside of the phone, allowing users to see all the content they have scrolled through. This experience prompts users to scroll on a phone as they would normally do, yet as it is done, keeps the scrolled feed visible as a projection that flows out of the phone, engulfing the wall. Face to face with all the content they glanced at, users are encouraged to question how much of it they actually retained, and to reflect on what this means as it becomes increasingly easy to disregard content in social media feeds.
My mind and the mind of neural work, where is the boarder line?
100 Days of Abstract Drawing is a project in which the author draws an abstract drawing by hand and color them digitally for 100 days. During the live demo in the zoom, she will be showcasing machine learning generated images trained on images of her Instagram account @panpan_doc using StyleGAN.
