My final interactive art piece is a metaphor for procrastination. Truthfully, I procrastinate more than I should on many tasks in life, but I feel that this is a situation that many others can relate to, so I felt that it would be interesting to create a game out of it. In this game, the…

Final Project Concept – Aidan Sensiba
My project is a metaphor for procrastination, in that it is a game where one can postpone certain things that inevitably catch up to them in the end. In this, the player is centered in a webcam screen which is being encircled by various undone chores, such as exams, laundry, etc. The player can use a…
Interactive Animation – Aidan Sensiba
This animation takes place in my apartment’s kitchen, in which you can interact with the fridge, the window, the stove, the microwave, and the basketball hoop. Here is a video and a screenshot of the Max patcher:
Animated Abstraction – Aidan Sensiba
This piece is based off of my Geometric Abstraction with the sine waves. Now, one can press buttons 1-8 to play the notes of a musical major scale. The colors and node shapes of the wave change randomly with each button press, while its frequency increases or decreases corresponding to the pitch of the current…
Geometric Abstraction – Aidan Sensiba
My inspiration for this project was Bridget Riley, whose work positions simple geometry such as lines and circles in rows or sine waves to create interesting visual fields. I did something similar, creating a dampened sine wave out of circles, open spheres and open cubes. The three states randomly choose the frequency and phase of…
Aidan Sensiba – Bio/Artworks
Hi! I’m Aidan Sensiba, a sophomore IMGD student from the small town of Long Eddy in upstate New York. I have been creating games in Game Maker since middle school, and I enjoy both the technical and creative work involved. Last year, I created a game in IMGD 1001 called The Legend of Gompei with…
Paper Nature Revision – Aidan Sensiba
For my revision, I fixed the wiring so that the inputs were more reliable and responsive. I also remade the platonic solids with sturdier construction paper, and removed the unstable supports under the platform so that it lays flat on the floor. In addition, I reduced the file size of the videos that played with…
Aidan Sensiba – Computer Vision Gestures
This project is somewhat of a mix between a basic piano and a theremin. I enjoy playing the piano as a hobby, and I wanted to incorporate that into my work through physical movement and audio. In this, there are five tones ascending a musical scale that can be played by moving the orange paper…
Aidan Sensiba – Meme Remix
In this project, I remixed the “Krab Borg” meme, a clip from the show Spongebob Squarepants in which Mr. Krabs is trying to describe a song to a radio DJ, and his voice has been manipulated to sing various songs. These songs include Africa by Toto, Gourmet Race from the video game Kirby, and several…
Paper Nature – Elements
My project is inspired by the four classical elements, which are represented by four platonic solids. The orange tetrahedron is fire; blue/purple cube is water, white octahedron is air, and green icosahedron is earth. The pentagon with the eye in the middle stands in for the final platonic solid, the dodecahedron, which does not usually…
