(There’s probably stuff about what happened in here people will not care for, but at least it’s honest) In short, nothing for this project went the way I was hoping. In long, I originally had this big idea of drawing paths that would simulate how well people know each other (this concept is better explained…

Pathway of a Person Concept Sketch – Sydney
For the project I wanted to play with this idea from an episode of a webcomic I read back in 2015 that’s sort of always stuck with me. The episode is “Pathway of a Person” from the series Color Drops, and it centers around the idea that when we talk to people and form relationships…
Sydney Gardner Interactive Touch Project
There are still a few technical problems to iron out, and I still want to see if I can spruce up the physical component’s aesthetic, but other than that it is relatively functional! I was never able to get that conductive clay, but I’ve found that using string still works very well and I think…
Sydney’s Interactive Touch Input Sketch

Makey Makey Audio Sketch: Nyeh!
For whatever reason, when I started playing with the Makey Makey buttons and sounds, I really wanted to recreate the “Bonetrousle” song from Toby Fox’s Undertale. Something about being able to quickly hop from one note to the other reminded me of the bouncy nature of the song, and I thought it would be fun….
Data Art Final: LGBTQ+ Rights Across The States
For my data project I found a ranking of the different US States and their policies regarding LGBTQ+ rights. Many states have adopted bills in favor of protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people, while others have been actively passing harmful ones or refusing to acknowledge that there are problems at all. I focused in on…

Many states have adopted bills in favor of protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people, while others have been actively passing harmful ones or refusing to acknowledge that there are problems at all. I focused in on…
