For my particular project, I decided to go with a very basic form of connection, that being the base sensation of touch. It’s the most simple connection a human being is capable of, and it holds quite a lot of power. It’s used to perform athletic feats, it allows the user to interact with the…

Final Project Concept Sketch – Garet Mildish
My concept for this particular piece is somewhat inspired by my previous MakeyMakey project, but with more of an intimate quality to it. This design is meant to be built into gloves. The idea is simple;create two gloves and attack Makey parts to one, and Arduino parts to the other. One hand would wield an…
Computer Vision/Audio Sketch by Garet Mildish
There’s a lot to unpack in this sketch, so let’s start from the top. This visual was created using the framediff program, allowing me to affect the speed of some audio by moving around. My idea was to take the fast part of Eminem’s Rap God and add it to the mix to see how…
Meme Remix Sketch
Introducing the Meme Remixer, designed from clips from the hit series Invincible, it’s the Think, Mark meme. My intention with this peculiar product is to turn a vicious smackdown into a remixed beat, a feat that as of right now is only half accomplished. I have ambitions with this particular project, and my intention is…
Interactive Touch Project
My intentions with this particular project was to teach the values of shielding your mind and escaping from the pain of reality. The world can be filled with cruelty, and every human being must learn to cope and avoid the pain, even if it’s not a permanent solution. In this project, we are given the…
Interactive Input Sketch
This object, composed of paper mache and fitted with aluminum foil to guarantee conductivity, is the input I’m using for this project. Thanks to the strips, a unique touch on a different section of the hand will trigger a unique response, mapped to any of the controls a MakeyMakey can reproduce. I tested this out…
Makey Makey Concept Sketch – Garet Mildish
My main idea for this particular project starts with it’s value, which is the ability for the mind to protect your well being. There is a method to training one’s mind so they can receive thoughts with absolute control and serenity. As such, my project would be designed to show this sort of perseverance, and…
Makey Makey Penny Drum Set
Now here’s a weird one. As an individual with somewhat of an interest in game audio, alongside writing, I decided that a fully audio system would be used with the makey makey. I call it the Penny Drumset, a simple set up but an intriguing one. Instead of using pennies and samples from two songs,…
Data Art Project – Garet Mildish: Surrounded Autistic
For this piece, I stuck to using the statistics of 1 in very 54 people being autistic, and using the medium of animation, I sought to make the feeling of isolation and being a small part of a big world with this drawing. When designing this piece, I was inspired to recolor the whole project…
Data Sketch-Autism Stats by Garet Mildish
This post is designed to represent how autistic people are relatively alone in their own communities. Statistics show that there’s 1 autistic person among every 54 people, not terrible odds but rare enough that they are uncommon and not the norm for the average group. This is especially problematic if their issues aren’t properly figured…
Garet Mildish
My name is Garet Mildish and I’m from Hudson, not terribly far from the WPI campus as a matter of fact. In terms of art, I don’t usually focus on visual arts since I see myself as more of a writer and audio person. As such, most of my projects focus on writing or audio,…
