As part of my final project, I focused on the idea of “disconnection” between people and how they sometimes avoid talking to each other. I used the scenario of a person going home on the subway and trying to block out the outside world as a way of showing a basic example of how even…

Computer Audio/ Visual Input Sketch | Mash Up
I used a microphone and video camera for this. Everytime someone claps the video changes, Alongside this, I used a sketcher module to create line art of the user. I also created this sketch that the video is shown behind the user’s outline.
Final Project Sketch | “Dis-connection”
For my final project I decided to focus on how people might not want to connect or are overall trying to avoid it and talking to other about how they are really feeling/what they really think. My final project will allow for two to play a game together. The game takes place on a subway…
Arduino Demo | Making a Capacitive Touch Sensor
(I think I spent way too much time on the code) I had created special code for my arduino to have it act as a capacitive touch sensor. I used the analog inputs to catch the rest of the voltage powered by a 5V source. Between the Source and the analog in was a resistor…
Music Mash Up | Meme Remix
For my Meme Remix I chose to work with some well known songs that either have been “memed” or used ubiquitously. This includes: Welcome to the Internet – Bo BurnhamA Mash up of Daft Punk songsLemaitre – Closer (To my understanding this song of theirs is used in many commercials and I recognize it every…
Blep and Ece (V2 UPDATES) | Interactive Touch Project
I completely changed around my interactive touch project, but here it is in all it’s glory! (UPDATES ARE ADDED AT THE END) My underappreciated truth was the strength and state of friendship, and in this case, especially between my Blep and Ece who I’ve mentioned previously. Below is a demo of the piece The background…
Interactive Touch | Input Sketch
For my controller portion, I decided to incorporate my lizard character “Blep” as the controller for my final project. I had completely scrapped my initial interactive touch project and rewrote it. My project now includes a continuation of the story of “Blep”, as previously mentioned, and “Ece”. Ece is a faceless astronaut that is friends…
The Cafe’ | Interactive Touch Concept
For my interactive touch project, I was thinking of creating a somewhat immersive scene that you can interact with. To go along with “the museum of undeniable truths” I decided to go with the idea of “not everyone is always their true self”. In this café setting, the use will be sitting down at a…
Look! One Hand! | Makey Makey Sketch
While playing around with the Makey Makey, I mostly wanted to focus on creating a “single touch” interface. Even without knowing what I want to do for my final project, I didn’t want the viewer/audience to have to wear anything additional to have to interact with the piece. So I used this sketch as a…
Final Data Art Project | Updated
To clean up and polish my project, I added the functionality to pause the “jellyfish” and also to have a switch that initially starts the metronomes that controls the motion for all the plates but will then just pause the jellyfish after that. I was able to adjust the colors so that they were differentiated…
Sketchbook Pages | Data Art
So, I finished the Jelly fish fella and added functionality that when you click, the plates start to move. You can click again and he slowly stops. The code is kind of a mess, but it loads up almost functionally on boot up Ignoring the mess, my only questions are, how do you work with…
Data Sketch Project | Journal Entries
For my data project, I decided to work with some personal data of mine. I keep a personal journal to help me remember how I was feeling and memories and experiences. I try to avoid writing in my journal a lot of the time, even thought I need to do it more often. So! To…
Kat Valery
WOAH. Ok… where am I…? I guess I’m stuck in a CPU? I can see the transistors and stuff here.…Well, even though it’s my sophomore year of CS and ECE, I still don’t know enough to get myself out of this mess. I’m still thinking about Robotics and whether ECE or RBE should be my…
