For the final project I decided to integrate the song Come Wayward Souls from Cartoon Network’s Over the Garden Wall. The show relies on many themes relevant to the fall and Halloween. As a way to involve the theme of connection, a user, or multiple users can trigger multiple copies of the song to create…

Scary Reverb Connection
For my final project, the goal is to create an interface where the tone of the song changes depending on the amount of light within the area. Once a user touches one of the input’s copper leaves, a delayed version of the same song plays. The theme was elements relating to fall and Halloween, which…
Final Project Proposal: Scary Reverb
For the final project, and in the upcoming celebration of one of my favorite holidays, I would like to do a project where users can adjust how spooky a song is based on the number of participants and the lighting of the room. One person can change the lights of either the entire room, or…
Arduino Demo Sketch: Light Touch
For this demo sketch, I attempted to use the force, temperature, and light sensors. All of them could affect what would appear on the Max 8 (or Cycling 74) Cycle-delic patch. The video below demonstrates how all three sensors affect the Cycle-delic patch: The force sensor was able to change the patterns of what would…
Sneaky Snowden
For this project, since it focuses on capturing a users video and/or audio, I thought I could try to elaborate on the fact that anyone could be spied on at any moment, especially on their smart phone. The goal is to create an interface recording both audio and video, and each triggers either an audio,…
Meme Remix Sketch: QuarterAttack
For this sketch, I tried to distort the audio and video of a scene I found hilarious on RoosterTeeth’s Camp Camp. It’s a comedy show aimed for older audiences and focuses on the hijinks of a group of campers (sometimes other secondary and tertiary characters) often rebelling against the authority of the camp’s counselors. The…
Interactive Touch Project: Empathy
For the project, I decided to focus on three different types of empathy: cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and empathetic concern. Initially, I was planning to show the conflicting themes in fantasy genres where all creatures are the same, or they acknowledge each others differences. However, I later changed the goal of the project to reflect…
Interactive Touch Input Sketch – Empathy
For the interactive touch project, the goal is to have a series of animations activated upon the user’s discretion. The input sketch above shows a sewing needle attached to conductive thread. The user will hopefully use the needle and thread to touch three different copper strips which will activate their own animation. Each animation will…
Interactive Touch Project: Same/Different
For my interactive touch project, one of the first personal ‘truths’ which came to my mind was a contradicting idea where from different types of sci-fi/fantasy media there are often messages such as “everyone is the same” and “accepting differences.” I love both of these ideas, but they are contradictory from a definition standpoint. So,…
Jug – Cello: A Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch
For this assignment, I decided to have four sounds downloaded from freesound.com with each one being associated to an arrow key, and have two sounds from Max 8 audio files. The first four on the left are from freesound.com, and the first two on the right are from Max 8. The left-most one is a…
Data Final: Streaming Services
The animation is an improved version of the Data Sketch where each cube represents the number of subscribers on each streaming service. Each cube can now be clicked on and result in a reaction where it grows to a size in respect to the number of service’s subscribers. The cubes grow to their largest possible…
Data Art: Streaming Services
The animation is based on the sketch I did earlier on streaming services. I assumed that with the rise of more streaming services, and people in quarantine possibly using them as a distraction (based on personal and life-long experience), a comparative analysis of them would be an interesting way to determine which have the most…
Streaming Sketch
I have chosen to focus on streaming services for my data sketch since they were a comforting medium during quarantine and were often used by my family as a fun bonding activity. Television and movies are one of my greatest fascinations with the world and from streaming services I have seen many different programs tackling…
