Description

When school went remote, ITP sent the subtraction students a Cameo 4 vinyl cutter. It was a godsend. I have been using it almost daily. In the past five weeks I have created a lamp with dichroic platonic solid filters and lenticular lens shades which presents the live colors from a times square webcam. Additionally, I vinyl cut lenticular platonic solids and project color onto them from LED matrices. I also built a tool to generate vector halftone images and cut portraits out of dichroic film. Lastly, I generated spirals with Perlin noise, overlaid them to see the moire effect and plotted them using the Cameo pen attachment.

Noise and lulu's dream

I am using the noise data outside my window at night to visualize how reality is being reboardcasted into my dream.

Description

I never dream when I first come to new york. New York is noisy. However, during this time, the noise outside seems to be the most accessible reality of the outside world. By capturing data of the noises outside my window, I start to see my sleep is a combination of reality and my dream. So I am trying to visualize it.
