project 1
Wood Veneer light made from triangular wood veneer units cut on the laser machine.The triangular units can be connected to make different shapes, the wood is translucent due to its thinness which gives it a beautiful effect.
project 2
A birds and flowers ceiling mobile made from felt.

#ferguson is an interactive sculpture piece about the collective responsibility and accountability of racism/violence in America. In order to see the animation (in the zoetrope) you must pull the trigger (the gun is a switch). The animation is a Black boy being shot. I want to bring awareness to the idea of a collective hand.

Balloon with tablet will float around ITP revealing augmented version of ITP in real time.
Planting CG object on ITP, balloon will float around to reveal hidden graphics within ITP. User would be able to plant objects of their choice or browse through ITP to find augmented objects.

Big Data Cloud provides people with a visible and tangible experience of interacting with big data.
http://www.jingwenzhu.com/2014/12/big-data-cloud/
In the Applications class, we had a lot of speakers talk about big data. They discussed how big data benefits our lives, how it inspires us, and how it make us transparent, etc. But big data remains obscure to me. What does big data looks like? Is there an invisible cloud somewhere? What would big data in the cloud look like if it were tangible? For my Physical Computing and Intro to Computational Media final project, I created the Big Data Cloud, that gets data from users, and give the data back to them.
In this installation, people are not only encouraged to interact with the cloud, but also interact with the data. When a user comes under the cloud, a mobile phone drops down from the cloud, with a question displayed on the screen. After the user types the answer to the question, the phone “uploads” back into the cloud. After thunder and lightening, the cloud rains. The big data rain is in the form of a printed roll of paper with the users' answers to the question. Additionally, the most frequently repeated words are projected as puddles on the ground. Users can play either with the projected raindrops, or read all the answers on the receipt.
In our daily life, we are interact with big data every day. We provide our data to the cloud, and get data back from it. Yet this repeated occurance falls to the background because we use big data so often that it goes unnoticed. By creating the Big Data Cloud I provide people with a visible and tangible experience of interacting with big data, and let them to rethink about how big data affects our lives.

Use motors to restore the wood grain
The pattern of wood itself is so beautiful, But when trees are cut down and cut into pieces, we can't see their full pattern again. I want to let people see the magic and beauty of the wood grain. Cubes can always bring you surprise, I plan to use some cubes to restore the grains of wood. Through rotation, the original random pattern will be changed and then form a tree' grain. The rotation can be controlled by buttons or sensors.

4-axis modular Camera system for video/time-lapse/stop motion applications
http://www.abstract-assembly.com/?p=218
This is a developing 4-axis motion controlled modular camera system, with 3 axis in working order here for demonstrative purposes.
The linear rail offers 1000mm of motion, 250-300mm of vertical motion control via scissor lift (which will be unveiled at the winter show), and 360 degrees of direct pan and tilt motion control.
Basically, this is an automated slider. Also an automated scissor lift. Also an automated pan/tilt. All of them modular and all of them offer manual control. All of them capable of real time video as well as time-lapse photography for video footage. For animation and stop motion applications, it also provides simple push button manual shutter-release control, as well as more advanced programmable solutions.
The 1000mm (roughly 4′) aluminum extrusion mounts on a tripod with a standard 1/4” 20 set screw mount with one 3-12V 40rpm geared dc motor mounted on a separate aluminum carriage plate. For linear motion this system uses an mxl belt drive mounted on either end of the extrusion with two idler pulleys on the carriage plate which is being pulled along in either direction by the dc motor.
Mounted on the carriage plate is another set screw mount for the scissor lift . At the top of the scissor lift is yet another set screw mount for the pan/tilt module.
An Arduino with a motor shield is used for the more complex applications which happen within the project enclosure. A shutter release cable is connected from a camera to an output from the Arduino within the project enclosure. The shutter circuit closes, and 4 motors pulse in desired increments along each desired axis depending on the specific position of a potentiometer as well as the direction of the pole of the DPDT switch .
