MUSIC INCORPORATION One aspect of the project that we had not looked into much was the musical portion. We came into the project knowing that we wanted to leverage music to make an engaging interactive light art piece, but we were not entirely sure how. We looked into various way’s of incorporating it and ended…
Nathan Dennler: Failure, Recalibration, and Iteration
So last week said I’d try to document more about the actual process of making the clothes, but a few pictures in, I realized that it actually just looks like a big ball o’ fabric up until the very end. It’s really one of those things you have to see in person and interact with…
Failure, Re-calibration, and Iteration – Noah Hillman
This week I didn’t run into any enormous problems but rather some smaller hurdles that I was able to solve relatively quickly. I cut and engraved all the acrylic sheets for the addressable LEDs to Illuminate. There was no easy way to tell what power/speed settings would make the designs come out as expected in…
Alyssa Konsko – Failure, Recalibration & Iteration
This past week, I had a couple smaller failures related to my execution of the project, rather than a material or concept failure. I had two photo shoots scheduled for last week. The first was rock climbing at Lincoln Woods State Park in Rhode Island. Lincoln Woods was a cool spot, and we were really…
Failure, Re-calibration, and Iteration
From my progress last week, I decided that I needed to take a different route for my project. The tulle was difficult to weave complex designs into due to its instability. It would be perfect for weaving straight down the fabric, but not in the way that I would like my designs to go. So…
Failure, Re-calibration, and Iteration – Sydney Fisher
So this week I attempted to actually take a few photos and try to form them into composite photos. I took the first photo and the second photo and combined them in Photoshop. I’m not sure which one looks better though. Personally, I might just like the first untouched version better. I also couldn’t find…
Failure, Re-calibration, and Iteration – Yllara Maia
This week, I attempted to tackle the obstacle that I have been struggling most with, which is casting a crisp shadow of my shapes on the wall. When I first experimented with my maquette, I saw that the shadow which was being cast was very blurred and not intricate enough. I had decided that the…
Sound Cloud: Updates, Maquette, Shopping, and Schedule
Updates: Modified Design After presenting, I decided to change some of the structural design and the LEDs used. Firstly, the structure will consist of a core ABS plastic box, a surrounding cage of wire mesh (separated into 2 halves with hinges and latches) covered in thermoplastic for some level of rigidity. For the LEDs, I…
Maquette
After proposing my three concepts to the class, I found that the majority of my peers were interested in the wall of vines proposal, in which I model a miniature wall covered in snaking vines using fiber optics. The first thing I began working with was gathering some sample fiber optics and creating simple Arduino…
