My final project is focused on food and how it connects us. In my family and culture, we often make chai (an Indian tea) as a way to say “hello” and converse over the drinking of chai. I also feel as if making this drink connects me to my own culture, growing up in a…

Final Project Sketch
My first thought when I saw “connection” was food! Food connects people no matter their culture, and I feel like a full table of good food and a full stomach binds everyone. For this concept, users will be playing a cooking mini-game. With 2 users, each user will act like a single hand and work…
Audio/Visualizer Sketch
Going off my meme remix, I decided to continue with the Kermit theme. For this sketch I made it so the user has a Kermit mask and whenever you say hello into the microphone, it play Kermit saying “hello there.” The mask would sometime not match up with the face and glitch.
Kermit the Frog talks politics
After watching Kermit the Frog’s TedX talk, I was inspired to remix him with a Bernie Sanders interview being a fan of both of them. I tried my best to get Bernie’s voice to sync with Kermit’s video but I found it really hard to find clips of both that matched perfectly. I’m currently working…
Interactive Touch Project
For my final iteration of my bird government spy project I finished my animations and added a few more parts including a USB Bluetooth connector and a LED light as an eye. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the LED working in time for the in class demo but I think it still looks cool. Now when…
Input Touch Sketch
For my input touch sketch I painted a pigeon on a cardboard piece. I placed some of the computer parts that I had already including an Arduino processing unit and a battery. I’m still waiting on a few more parts I ordered (including a small LED, mini camera and mic) to place on.
Interactive Touch Concept – Birds are Government Spies
After following the Birds Aren’t Real movement on social media and news, despite the movement seeming to gain momentum it is still an uncommon and underappreciated belief amongst people. For my Interactive Touch Project I thought it would be funny and interesting to explore this idea that birds aren’t real and are rather government spies…
Makey Makey Music
For my project, I made some music out of a pair of scissors and a few gold/titanium earrings. When touched, each of the objects produces a “bell” or “chime” sound, I wanted to get a wind chime sound to be produced but couldn’t find a wind chime near me or some good sound effects to…
Global COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution (Neha Kuchipudi)
For my data art project, I went with the same theme of my data sketch but with different statistics. For this project, I wanted to visualize the disparity of vaccine distribution between high income “first world” countries and low income “third/second world countries.” I first visualized the first and second/third world as rotating globes. About…
Data Sketch – Neha Kuchipudi
For my data sketch, I chose to focus on global COVID-19 vaccine disparity. Living in a Western country, having the privilege to be vaccinated I feel that often I, and so many of my peers living in the US, often forget that poorer countries are greatly suffering with vaccine rollout and COVID-19 overall. Being an…
