Concept: I & U & I could be interpreted literally. It is the connection between me and you, the audience. But this phrase could be interpreted in another way. In this project/ performance, I connect myself to the computer and become an extension of it. Also, I am connecting to the audience, or my user,…

Final Project Concept Sketch – (Hanwen Xu)
Concept In this project, I want to look into the abstract ideas of different kinds of connections. There are three connections particularly I want to play with. One is the physical connection between two people. One is the connection between humans and computers, a sort of interface-like connection. The third one could be a bit…
Arduino Sketch (Hanwen Xu)
A small Arduino sketch using the force sensor. I have a technical question tho. Suppose I want to attach the force sensor on my hand, how can I connect and extend the wire? Do I tie each head to a jumper wire with conductive tape? Any good idea for wire extension?
Audio Input Sketch – Wingardium LeviOsa (Hanwen Xu)
So the whole idea behind this audio input sketch is an interactive Wingardium Leviosa spell casting. You would need to touch your wand to being, and say Wingardium Leviosa in the right way (say ‘LeviOsa’ as loud as you can) to successfully cast the spell. If you did not cast the spell correctly, Hermione will…
Meme Remix – Interactive Bob Ross ASMR? (Hanwen Xu)

So, I made an interactive remix which has Bob Ross painting cycling in the background with some painting sounds. And when you make an input…

Interactive Touch Input Sketch (Hanwen Xu)
This is the input sketch of my interactive touch project. As I mentioned before, I wanted to look into the idea of falshbacks triggered by drinking. So I tested out different ways to trigger a signal through drinking (essentially touching the liquid by my mouth) and this is the most consistent structure I came up…
Interactive Touch Concept Sketch-deja vu (Hanwen Xu)
I took inspiration of this interactive piece from a short Makey Makey video. The person was touching waters in jars to complete the circuit and I felt the whole idea of using liquid was very cool. I want to build upon the whole idea of touching liquids. Instead of touching, I figured out I could…

We hear about global warming and carbon-dioxide emission everyday, but a lot of the time we perceive them as somewhat abstract ideas. This data art project is an attempt to visualize the carbon footprint of our favourite foods. We enjoy eating…
