For our final project, we (Nikki and Raul) wanted to celebrate our hope for an optimistic future where climate change has been successfully quelled and biodiversity on Earth can flourish. To that end, we created an interactive diorama we call “Bear the future in mind.” The diorama illustrates 4 species of endangered bears in their…

Final Project Concept Sketch – Bear the future in mind
Hi everyone! For our final project we (Raul Arias Philippi and Nikki Goldman) will be making an interactive piece of art under the working title “Bear the future in mind.” The future both of us hope for is one where the negative effects of climate change are curbed and the biodiversity of life on Earth…
Arduino Demo Sketch – Who has the answers?
For my demo sketch, I rigged up one of my memes from the remix assignment to the arduino simple serial patch, and caused it to glitch uncontrollably. To curb the rate of the glitch, I rigged a photosensor which helped normalize the playback when covered.
Audio Input Sketch
For my audio input sketch, I used MAX to create a simple patch that responded to my the volume picked up by my microphone and played a short video accordingly. In my recorded demo, I explain a bit more. Right now it only plays one video, but I think for a future iteration I can…
Meme Remix Sketch
So for my Meme Remix sketch I chose to mash up 4 different unrelated clips that I found somewhat funny on their own, but thought there was potential to weave a little story with. For my first clip I chose the iconic scene from Hell’s Kitchen where Gordon Ramsay loudly and persistently asks the contestants…
Interactive Touch – Routine
So for my interactive touch project, I created a piece out of cardboard that caputred a slice of what my routine became during the summer months of lockdown. The model itself is an abstract representation of my room, where I spent a lot of time working, relaxing, and being bored. For the interactive component, I…
Routine – Input Sketch
Hey all. Here’s my update on the interactive touch project. I made my input controller a mock up abstract of my room. Right now my priority was getting my build to be structurally sound, but I will be adding MakeyMakey functionality within the next day or so. I’ve yet to determine the colors, but I…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch – Routine
For my Interactive Touch project, I’ve decided to make a piece called “Routine.” The idea is to abstract and depict my room back in Puerto Rico and the routine I had settled into during the summer months of this COVID season. I intend on making the windows, Tv remote, bed, and computer monitor out of…
Audio Player Sketch – Dadaist Word Salad Poem
I created a basic patch in Max to control my MakeyMakey, and assign sound cues to each button. I chose to record myself saying 4 words that came to mind when I thought of quarantine. Since the canvas description listed this type of project as a “Word Salad” I chose to use a fork, knife,…
Carbon Cubes – Data Art
For my next iteration of my “Carbon Cubes” piece of data art, I focused on adding movement and mouse interactivity. As I stated in my previous post, each cube represents the carbon emissions of a country. I have made no changes in this regard, and the order remains that the blue cube represents Europe’s carbon…
Data Sketch – Comparative CO2 Emissions
For my data sketch, I chose a relatively simple data set regarding climate change, an issue rather close to my heart. Utilizing Our World In Data‘s CO2 Data explorer, I gathered the carbon dioxide emissions for Europe, Russia, and the United States. Interestingly, I found that while Europe and Russia put together have more population…
