A Story is Not a Tree

  Nature is unfathomable beyond our imagination. In my humble attempt to re-create natural phenomenons, I gained a deeper awe of its sheer intricacy. One of the most vital rewards I gained from my project was, a more profound grasp…

My conference work was based off the work of my artist, Bolognini. He made machines that drew images no one could see so I thought about who the drawing were intended for and came up with an inspired sketch of…

My conference project is based on David Rokeby’s idea about the relationship between machines and humans. He is good at exploring and bestowing machines’ ability of reaction. In other words, machines can respond to people’s behaviors. Thus, I created this…

My conference project mod was to take my shooter and elevate in animation and sound. The game play stayed the same as I still found it satisfying and engaging even with how much I had played the game. This first…

Forest fire was my mod for the shooting game that we did. Going into it I wanted to have a game that was still a shooter but had a non destructive setting. So I went with a fire truck putting…

Farm Land was my mod of the collection game tutorial. The focuses of the redesign were world metaphor, zones, and bounds. All three of which i struggled with. Coming up tot the paper game I couldn’t think of any world…

Starting on the conference portion of the game, I knew that I wanted to work on the mechanics of this game, mostly refining the ones that existed. I also wanted to work on the look of the game because, while…

Since part of the prompt for this game was beginning with mechanics and then putting in a world metaphor, I decided to start with thinking about what mechanics of the shooter I liked and what I wanted to change or…

When I first started to think of what I wanted do for my final conference project, something that really interested me was gears. I definitely wanted to incorporate gears into my project somehow. Whether that be the gears are part…

For my conference project for Art From Code, I attempted to illustrate my own background through imagery. My collages are divided into two different parts. My primary collage is related to my identity and its correlation to the struggles I…

I felt that while combining artists ideas to create my own is how art is created. This was my first time taking art seriously and was such an amazing door to open. My inspiration came from Henri Matisse (French, Le Cateau-Cambrésis…

For conference, I was most inspired by Bret Victor’s call to stop drawing “dead fishes” –– a metaphor to suggest that computer art should not seek to replicate older mediums but rather take advantage of what is only possible in…

“Personally, I thought that instead of painting squares, triangles and other geometric forms which still had a realistic feel…it might be interesting to free abstract forms from the stasis of paintings and suspend them in the air, joining them together…

Letter to My Object:  To The Object formally known as a Television, Before this project, you were useless, and discarded. You had lost your place in the world and had become obsolete in the eyes of those who used to…

This series encompasses works inspired from a variety of currently active tattoo artists. However, these artists all use traditional methods of creating art. Tattoo artists often create an image on paper before transferring it to skin. In this case, I…

This machine was meant to reflect the artist we researched. However, because I wasn’t researching an artist but a philosopher, I was given a level of freedom that my other classmates were not afforded. I started by thinking about the…

In Ancient Andean tradition, women would invoke the Moon as creator of women. Acllas, or women weavers and food preparers in Inca administrative centers, were convinced of the Moon’s generative powers and her dominion over femininity. The Moon was considered…

  I created a series of 3d works, which was inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian. Mondrian is known for being one of the pioneers of the 20th-century abstract art. He changed his artistic direction from figurative pairing to an…

  Grace Hertlein is known for her ability to impart organicism into what is commonly perceived as “artificial” works, like her works “The Field” or “Womb of Water.” Taylor often described Hertlein as someone who would deliberately push against the…
