Description

This piece was inspired by many art pieces of self-portraits as well as CHANEL's mobile art project by Zaha Hadid. I'd like to explore the novel utilization of p5 and utilize it as a tool for self-exploration and expression. I state one of my recent idea of becoming an astronaut in the project. Meanwhile, doubting the existence of the idea, regarding it as being put a fish tank on my head. I used the posenet to trigger the transition between different scenarios. I would definitely try to extend the story by adding more scenarios and my ideas in the future.

4 Seasons of Sanyu

Four stages of Sanyu, the Chinese Van Gogh's frustrated life

Haoyu Ding

https://wp.nyu.edu/enatub/week-9-leon-ding-documentation-of-project-3-18th-apr/

Description

This project mainly shows four stages during the life of Sanyu, with “four seasons” as a metaphor. For those who may never hear about this name, Sanyu is kinda like a Chinese Van Gogh, who spent most of his life in poor and unappreciated condition, but still left lots of art pieces that have been given high credit to by posterity. The main purpose of this project is to share an experience from Sanyu’s life with the users. When you’re watching those paintings of his, you would also listen to audios that uncover his life and thus have a better understanding of his personality and what he’s undergone.

Digital Shaman

An audiovisual performance that visualizes Korean exorcism ritual and shaman vision.

Jonghyun Jee

https://youtu.be/ttlkgcsyaGo

Description

“Digital Shaman” is an audiovisual performance that is inspired by Korean exorcism ritual and shaman vision, powered by p5.js. My project is largely based on FFT, which constantly analyzes the frequency and amplitude of a sound track (bass, mid range, treble). Those parameters, mapped in certain ranges, give variations for the properties of objects (size, rotation, movement, etc.). The first chapter begins with thousands of tiny particles that move along the canvas like a burning incense, which is often used for rituals in East Asia. As the percussion comes in, geometrical patterns appear and respond for bass, mid, or high frequencies of the track. After both visual and audio components reach the climax, they gradually fade out and leave the incense particles only. I projected this sketch to the wall as stage lighting, and gave a dance performance. It visualizes as if the performer was possessed by the shadow behind.

Description

The Light is a game in which players move their hands to control mirrors and change directions of light beams in a virtual space. There is a board with light sensors, and the shadows will form mirrors that reflect light beams, and the goal of the game is to reflect the light beam to a certain point. Arduino was used to sense the shadows and Processing was used to create the “virtual space”.

西河剑器

An algorithmically-generated music visualization in classical Chinese style

Tian Qin

https://vimeo.com/417663011

Description

In my project, I used the concept of spring to create the simulation of the chord, water ripple, water sleeves, curtain, etc. I also combined the flow field, perlin noise, and some other concepts that we learned in class. I think the visual aesthetic that spring create fits the classical Chinese style very well, which is with solidness in softness and softness in solidness.

Jessica Chon

https://youtu.be/-DXvHOOlKFY

Description

My project is a mobile game app for the iPhone. KeyLang is meant to train users how to type more fluently in a different language on the phone keyboard. However, it also allows users to practice the second, third, or even fourth language they’re learning. The app offers 3 modes: learn, practice, and speed. In learning mode, users can become familiar with the language keyboard they choose. Once they’ve learned the keyboard, they can move onto the practice games, where they simply practice what they have learned. After completing the practice mode, they can test the speed of their typing in a speed typing game that measures their speed and typing accuracy.
