A machine that creates a navigable virtual soundscape from peoples voices and other sources.
Description
What if the way graffiti expresses ideas could be translated to sound? Our project aims at creating a medium where people can shout, rant, open up, tell jokes or simply leave a message. All of that is placed inside a virtual soundscape where each sound is assigned a coordinate in a X Y plane. Then you can hop in and navigate that communal soundscape with the aid of sensors !

Description
Many time we are left wishing we could create and move the earth and heavens like God. After all, we are made in his image. Let us now partake in heavenly and earthly communion. This is a project that uses sound waves to move sand.

https://www.higabriella.com/blog/a-message-from-the-future-final-project-documentation
Description
The project is called A Message From Our Future and it's essentially a narrative phone tree journey using an old-school corded desk telephone as the interface. The phone would ring based on a distance sensor, and when picked up, would prompt an automated recording starting the narrated interaction. The person is prompted through a keypad menu that gives them options to listen to voice messages from “the future” with each number leading to a different message theme. Voicemails were collected via burner number that people could call anonymously.

]]>A relaxing musical experience with generative art
https://editor.p5js.org/Luxone/full/Hk1riG03m
Description
Unblue is a relaxing experience for those who want to take a break and enjoy generative patterns. The name UnBlue comes from idea that hopefully this experience can improve your ‘blue’ mood. Also, it comes from the deep love for blue colors. This project is intended for 1 person experience using headphones and a computer. The project consists of a main screen, 3 chapters showing different interactive patterns and also 2 transitions (one for beginning and one for the end). Each of the transitions are accompanies by lyrics to inspire or relax the listener. For each chapter there is a different musical composition and interactions as well. First chapter is called Fossil and has a spiral made out of distorted ellipses, creating the illusion of 3-D object. The second chapter is ’Seed’ and it is a drawing tool over moving rectangular tiles. The last chapter is Atom, and it is a complex particle system controlled with mouse clicks. The work is mostly completed (you can test it out youself), but there are plans to add more chapters/interactions before the show.

Team:Idit Barak, Jacky Chen, Timothy Lobiak
Our project is called the Giving Plant; it is a white on white soft sculpture inspired by the iconic bird of paradise flower. Onlookers may use our custom built water can to water the plant. When that happens, visual cues will occur to guide the users to complete the sequence. At the end of the sequence, the majestic bird of paradise flower will bloom and emit a relaxing smell in the form of a cooling mist.
The two water cans each uses an absolute orientation sensor (BNO055) to detect the change in orientation. When the cans are pointed downward, three 12V LED’s are triggered. The user needs to point the mouth of the water can at the root of the plant to “water” the plant with light. This triggering the LDRs embedded in the planter. There are also sealed water capsules built into the water can to create
When watered, the LED strips embedded in the stem of the plant will display segments of LEDs moving up the stem, feeding “light” into the leaves and the flower. When the leaves receive “enough” light, it will gradually light up from the bottom to the top.
After the leaves are fully lit, the shape memory alloys (SMA) will be triggered by running current through them. This allows the SMA to change its shape, and as a result, the flower will bloom. Mist will be pushed out of a mist making chamber, by an air pump, through a silicon tubing; essential oil will be in the mix of the mist, that helps to produce a lovely scent. After a short pause, the mist will cease and the flower will close its petals by triggering another set of SMA pulling in the opposite direction.

It's a live installation played by three users at the same time. They will be assigned to different screens, one is the face, one is upper body, one is full body. They need to use their body to trigger music and play a composition together.

https://medium.com/@ngg242/meet-g-loop-my-icm-final-f5fd04b6c068
Description
g.loop was born from desire to model, mold and meld 3-D forms with the voice; to create forms through pure emotional output with little thought to the learning-curved-industry-standard approach to mesh and the like. Through a combination of ml5 and various parts of 3.js, g.loop gives you the ability to distort a 3-D bust of me with nothing more than your voice. Wail away.
