Edit: The video document is the last video near the bottom. My project’s metaphor can be either a blindspot or tunnel vision. It intends to block the viewer’s focus wherever they look while simultaneously giving them something they want to look at. The largest challenge by far was tracking eye movement. I ended up with…

Joy Tartaglia – Final Project Concept
I was having trouble thinking of a metaphor and decided came up with something I call a “visual itch”. Kind of like an itch you can’t reach, there’s something that catches your eye, but when you look at it, it’s either gone, or you can’t see what it was that made you look in the…
Joy Tartaglia – Augmented Selfies
I really liked the idea of interacting with objects with physics, so I decided to see if I could use movement to control the direction of an object. Make some kind of movement on the left side of the camera and the object will move left, and so on. I used the impulse message to…
Joy Tartaglia – Sound Controlled Animation
I decided to work off the idea from the Paper Nature project and do a simple animation of some waves, using the same wave loop sound. I set them up so that they would move right when the wave sound is loud, and left when it is quiet. The tricky part was dumping some of…
Joy Tartaglia – Meme Remix
For my project, I picked one meme video with music and then set up four different, separate video effects that can be messed around via controller. Unfortunately, I couldn’t for the life of me get a controller to work on my computer, so I set up a rudimentary control system via keyboard as a placeholder….
Joy Tartaglia – Paper Nature
I drew some waves of varying shapes and sizes. Touching the different waves will change the volume of the background wave ambiance. Changing the volume will also shift the video that’s playing. The fourth wave on the right plays a louder splash noise. The seagull will play some seagull sounds. There are actually two videos…
Joy Tartaglia – Paper Nature Concept
My family took a trip to Ogunquit, Main over the weekend. We loved the waves crashing against the cliffs, so I was inspired to do something based on that. I was thinking I could draw some waves with varying heights, and touching them would increase the volume of a general soundtrack of waves. I could…
Joy Tartaglia – Interactive Animation
Video A few of the videos refuse to be imported into Max correctly. The most notable problem is the animation on the center post. All the animations have blank frames at their beginning and end, but the center post refuses to finish. Maybe there was something I overlooked. I enjoyed working on this, but my…
Joy Tartaglia – Animated Abstraction
Geometric Abstraction Video Music is by J. M. Hotteterre And here’s the Max patch in action. After digging through some older projects, I found the object I was looking for: live.step. The project it came from was a sort of makeshift sequencer, so after I studied all the objects to remember how they worked, I…
Joy Tartaglia – Geometric Abstraction
Inspiration Project Screenshots Max Patch ScreenshotFollowing the example, I collected my objects into groups, both in the compositions and in the actual patch. The first two are the major groups on the left and right of each composition. Their shapes, colors, and sizes change with the three large buttons. When I finished them, I realized…
