This week, my biggest task was to transition from the mock up to the actual jacket I was going to use. Because I was not able to find a jacket that was as well fitting as my Adidas jacket that I used to produce my vision for this project, I decided to sacrifice my jacket…
Polish & Present Submit Assignment: William Schwartz
for this week I did not have a ton to do. I did all the assembly last week, so this week all I had to do was program the teensy, and do the audio analysis. using the teensy audio library made things pretty easy, I am still doing some minor adjustments, but for the most…

This week was a big week in regards to finalizing the construction of my piece. As talked about in class, the major issue I was facing was how I was going to actually attach the sets of four triangles together into square pyramids. We had discussed my concerns with soldering, mainly that the tips of…
Polish and Present: Photohromascope
Because I hadn’t figured out exactly how i was presenting what I have come to refer to as the “Photochromascope“, I focused on presentation first, and left figuring out what exactly my piece would look like until later. It also requires the apparatus I was designing to view my piece to really test what my…

This week I was able to finalize the assembly of my project, and really focus on the overall appeal of the piece. To start, I applied 3 coats of black semi gloss paint to the wood frame that holds my mirror and leds. I went with black because I believed it would be the best…
Polish and Present: Rachel Schiebel
At the beginning of the week I did the finishing touches on my piece. This included finishing and remolding the sides brushing over all surfaces and removing dust. After I finished the finishing touches I was able to fire it, Unfortunately it experienced some cracks but luckily these cracks will be filled during glazing. I…

This week was spent combining every piece and layer of my project into one cohesive form. I had already attached the LEDs to the back of my shadow box, but I decided to hot glue the connector pieces to the board to make sure that it was as sturdy as possible. I tested the idea…
Polish and Present: John Stegeman
Since I had the system working and all my images chosen at the Everything Working assignment, this week was about refinement. I spent part of this week repainting scuff marks on the box holding the electronics, and covered up the one exposed wire (which unfortunately must be there to enable reasonable transport) with black tape…

Finishing the Sphere After a busy final week, my project has very quickly taken form. I left off last week with the bottom half functionally complete, but aesthetically lacking due to a missing top half. This week, I had to get the top half printed, glue in all the LEDs, solder all the additional wiring…
“Everything Works”
My progress this week went into designing my final assembly. It is dependent on if i can get in a larger polarizing filter, however i think I’ve worked out the issues in fixturing the polarizing filters and tape. I also have been scouting locations to hang this up in. My biggest progress this week was…
