Hi all! Great meeting everyone this term, hope everyone has a restful break! Here is our final project ‘working.’ It’s pretty glitchy, but when is Max not (?). We had a lot of fun making this project. It took a lot of planning behind the scenes. For example, here is how we planned out the…

Learning to Fly – Jarod Romankiw & Isaiah Fleischer
Let us introduce ourselves. Jarod and Isaiah are both juniors studying Aerospace Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. We are both very passionate about what we study, and figured we could try and relate some of the things we learned about the aerospace world, into the art world. We decided to create a ‘game’ which allows…
Jarod Romankiw – Computer Vision Gestures
For this project, I wanted to focus on a certain muscle in the body. I noticed that after spending a few hours on the computer, my neck would get sore. This is because I would stay in the same position and not stretch. I came up with a little game to try and help stretch my…
Jarod Romankiw – Meme Remix
I’m no connoisseur of the creation of memes so this would be my first. I decided to go for a classic song, ‘Take on Me.’ I focused my work on this because it’s a great song, and I figured most people recognized the song. I used 4 different clips to mix this. I had to…
Jarod Romankiw – Paper Nature (Revision)
For the update, I took the advice to add multiple images to my work of art. When multiple pictures are taken, a different image will appear on the screen. I struggled to figure out the randomizer, however. Sometimes, a number can repeat itself and the same image will stay on the screen. I will ask…
Paper Nature – Jarod Romankiw
For this project, I was inspired to create yet another seasonal item. This one allows you to choose a season based on an origami shape, and then the user can take a photograph of that season using the camera. The photo is loaded from a database of pre-selected photos. When the user choose a season, there…
Jarod Romankiw – Interactive Paper Nature
I’ll start this off by saying my favorite hobby is photography. I grew up taking pictures, and I continue to regularly photograph the world and the adventure that I endeavor. For this project, I wanted to combine my love for photography, in a paper nature form. I decided to create an interactive camera, where the user…
Jarod Romankiw – Interactive Animation
I was inspired to do this project when I saw the shelf of items in the in-class example JPR showed us. I decided to place my favorite childhood animated characters on a bookshelf and when the user clicks on the character, the theme song and theme video play on the television. Some issues I had…
Jarod Romankiw – Animated Abstraction
For this assignment, I decided to continue off my first project in this course. I began with my “Christmas Abstraction Project” Max file. I recoded the metro segment like we did in class and I connected that to the first of two audio panels. I recorded (with my iPhone) several segments of audio which I…
Jarod Romankiw – Seasonal Abstraction
I was inspired to make this piece when I was flipping through the LL Bean catalog for the seasonal clothing. I found the plaid style to be reminiscent of the abstract art we were studying in AR 3200. The simple square shapes with seasonal colors gave me inspiration for this piece. It was technically challenging…
