New Genres

For my vision machine I constructed a zoetrope. A zoetrope is an early animation machine used in the 19th century. This pre cinematic machine was replicated in processing. It was easy to see the similarities between the flickering animation of…

At first, I wanted to use a magnet to do some “magic” effects. Then I just played a pinball game some time ago. I think the ball’s action path can match my “magic”. For example, I can let the magnet…

For my conference project I will be making a spinning wheel. I was attracted to this idea after doing a bit of research and coming upon this machine that someone created, which then prompted me to want to recreate it….

My system that I have created is a slit scan that takes in a video from the computer web camera and moves the position of the video as it goes along and has a delay input so that the video…

For my system I wanted to challenge myself and use both code and studio to achieve this prompt.  Initially I wanted to focus on origami that had multiple states or forms of being, movable flexible origami. In the Edo period…

My conference work for this semester is a coded drawing machine. The mouse works as an eraser, which makes the black cover transparent and expose the colorful bottom plate. The uncovered parts is what viewers draw. The bottom plate is…

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…

My initial goals for this piece were to use the framework and structure that I developed earlier in the year and take it to a more expanded level. Previously I thought that by increasing the scale of the piece I…

For my last project in Interactive Art, I ended up creating a house of nostalgia. The installation consisted of a cardboard box house, spray painted with a multitude of colors, filled with miscellanious toys and items from my childhood. Behind…

When I started in New Genres, I was determined to make a game. My original idea was to create a visually simplistic, text-based narrative that the user would progress through by answering questions. After reading “Strategies of Interactive Art” by…

My first project this semester was a collaboration with my classmate Andrew Murdock. We created an installation using mylar and bright orange neon strings. Outside, students would listen to a recording that set the tone for the experience inside. By…

For my second project this semester I made an installation intended to get people moving. At first, I had thought of making an installation that a character (played by myself) would interact with. It quickly became clear that asking other…

I learned about augment reality in our first class this semester, by using the HP Reveal app. At first I was very frustrated trying to figure out the app but amazed by augmented reality and that elementary children use the…

    The original beginning for this project was that Jennifer Morris is essentially a hoarder and had been collecting toilet paper rolls for the entirety of the first semester this year. After she announced that she was just going…

The original inspiration for this project was that our housemates often spend evenings knitting together, talking and watching television. We both love knitting, finding it to be relaxing and a nice activity to do with our hands as we socialize….

For my second piece this semester, I wanted to have fun. According to my therapist and mother, I am autistic. Because of this, I process many things differently from someone who is not on the Autistic Spectrum. I am also a…

When we began planning the art party, I had no idea what it would look like, or even really what making it would entail. But I dove headfirst into brainstorming it, beginning with the theme, which proved to be a…

This project went through many iterations before it took the form that I presented at open studios on Tuesday. I knew I wanted to experiment with sound and the placement of sound in space, and I knew I wanted to…

                                Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Eating Disorders In Physics, the term ‘singularity’ refers to the phenomenon of all things colliding into a singular point. Theoretically,…

Claim 1: If I communicate to other people through a sound visualizer and text-to-speech library, then it will feel equivalent to or easier than talking to people face-to-face. (Hint: this is false.) Claim 2: If an installation setup meets the…
