Systems Aesthetics: A Later System – Noise Pools
My inspiration for this system came from what we’ve explored in class with noise. I enjoy the random, unexpected effects and interactions that can occur with with noise. I wanted to modify my code to emphasize the movement and changes…
Drawing Machines: Vision Machine
For my Vision Machine project I chose to create a stereographic viewer, that when used can simulate a three dimensional image in two dimensions. I chose this, because I felt that given the materials that I could chose from it…
Systems Aesthetics: A Later System: Paper Unbound
The idea of repetition as a stylistic technique has been popular throughout art history in order to convey things with a unified focus in multiple ways. Repetition as a concept is abstract and applicable to a plethora of artistic styles….
Systems Aesthetics: A Final System: Filters
My final conference project is called Filters. This was a long and hard journey to get here but I am very happy with the end result. I first found interest with the camera function and using the camera library to…
Systems Aesthetics: A Final System: Collision Game
For the first check-in of our systems class, I made a simple video game that goal was to get to a checkpoint while avoiding collisions with different obstacles, in the background, I put the png of a cyber- city sky….
Systems Aesthetics: A Final System: Glitch It
For this final system conference project, I was inspired by the check-in assignment we did for the pixel sorting, the research we did on Rosa Menkman in class, and the reading we did on Found Systems As Glitch Culture by…
Drawing Machines: Stars
My conference project is very different from my original outline and plan. When I presented the original project it was meant to be a variation on the game Flower, which is an online stress reliving game in the same vain…
Systems Aesthetics: A Final System: Let-It-Fly
I conceived of this project when I was playing with children’s puzzle pieces. I wondered: ‘These puzzles are clearly a system. They take on similar visual forms that are lucidly defined, yet contain distinct information. The shapes compliment each other,…
Drawing Machines: Happy Birthday
This is the old draft of Zoetrope, and it also gave me the idea of how to make my own zoetrope. But in the studio, I have limited material so I changed a little. I always want to create something…
Drawing Machines: Conference Post-Mortem
This semester I have chosen to expand on my experimentation with weaving through another handmade loom. I intend to explore the realm of textile and fiber art through a simple frame loom constructed out of bamboo bark. The base structure…
a later system: Stars in the Galaxy
What I wanted to achieve with this system was initially, a better understanding of patterns – specifically the creation of a pattern. It was hard for me to understand the points of a pattern and having to figure out where…
Systems Aesthetics: A Later System- ‘harder soft or softer hard’
This studio exercise was an instance where the revision process helped me understand the concept much more deeply. Initially, I built upon check_in 12, where I used curved fractal shapes to randomly place onto the canvas, in order to create…
Drawing Machines: Exploded Nest
I am going to construct a hanging, nest-like installation made of found branches, sticks, ivy, and dried flowers. I will hang vine charcoal from the branches, using a pendulum-like motion to create a drawing on a piece of newsprint that…
Drawing Machines: A Cherry Tree
My zoetrope, a Cherry Tree, is composed of two pieces of digital drawing on each side of a round cardboard, two bands, two clips, two sticks, and a cardboard base. Viewer can see two images combining together by spinning the…
Drawing Machines: Floral Vision Machine
For this vision machine project, I made a floral zoetrope. I drew the process of a flower growing and blooming. I put mirrors on the inner part of the zoetrope so you would see the process of the flower blooming….
Drawing Machines: 3-D Pinball
I have changed my ideas for several times, at first, I want to do something with a magnet because the magnet is like a magic to me and if I do the install then the magnet would make my work…
Systems Aesthetics: An Early System: the dog WALKS you
My inspiration for this system comes from the idea of interrupting and intervening in the ways we typically engage with the space around us. From class, I am very interested in Samuel Beckett’s work, Quad, which creates an exciting pattern…
Drawing Machines: Vision Machine
My vision machine is a zoetrope that creates an illusion of motion through an interruption of the image that prevents it from simply blurring together. This interruption of the image had me thinking of a section from Machine Art in…
Drawing Machines: Automatic Easel
Using the most basic possible description, what I will be making is an easel and drawing device that will be controlled by the manipulation of strings. The easel that I’ve constructed is roughly 3 feet tall and 20 inches wide,…
Drawing Machines: Vision Machines
My vision machine is modeled after Marcel Duchamp’s rotoreliefs or decorated discs made to spin on a turntable as optical entertainment. These spinning discs observe the process through which the human visual apparatus creates the impression of movement and spatial…
