Buttons on Buttons
There was a lot my partner and I wanted to make this do initially… We wanted the buttons to start at a random rotations and spin at a slider controlled speed. They also would have been able to change colors! We…
Digital and Analog
I like working through the labs a few times outside of class because even if I think I get it in theory, the repetition of physically putting it together (and breaking it…) helps me to fully understand. So I know…
Laser Cutter Adventures
Our assignment for Fabrication this week was to make something on the laser cutter. I decided to take this opportunity to combine projects, and build a housing for my physical computing assignment as well – a lantern that responds to…
Citi Bike Watching
For PComp this past week we were asked to pick a piece of interactive technology in public and observe it in use (be sneaky!). I initially wanted to watch Chloe, what seems to be a giant vending machine for dvds and…
Making Things Move With p5
Week 2 of ICM and we’re getting into using variables and animating using code. I could have recycled the sketch from last week for this assignment but I think Cheese Face is already a little strange without needing to move… Though…
Bloodchild Audio
Sound editing sits pretty outside of my realm of experience. Everything I’ve ever studied or worked on has been visual. So it was a little difficult to wrap my head around building something that I couldn’t see or sketch out…
Playing with Switches
Our second week of PComp involved actually setting up a breadboard – LEDs, switches, resistors, and Arduino as power supply. And though I hardly know what the huge assortment of other available parts do yet, these few basic ones? I…
Make 5
Last week my flashlight was only made out of paper so I knew that I wanted to focus on actually working with some of the different tools this time around. ITP has quite a few that I’ve never used before…
Passing (Numerous) Strangers
I chose to do the East Village poetry walk because I kept finding myself already there (even before this whole NYU thing). I don’t mean to imply that I didn’t want to venture far, but that I instead was interested…
Welcome to p5.js
Being in this program, it seems odd to say I’m not actually sure how I want to use computation in my own work. I love interactive spaces and the incorporation of elements of play, but I think because I’m so…
