https://youtu.be/WqZPJIs-Xzw The project “Cognition of a Fledgling” is a diffused array of LEDs which show the topology of a bowl that is rhythmically deforming. This rhythm is determined randomly, following a periodic cycle. Every minute it slows down then speeds up the generation of waves. There is a simulated marble, which follows the gradient of…

…but only because the things that didn’t work were discarded. There is no more wirebot! This sucks, it wasn’t my original vision, I would have liked to show a physical object, moving smoothly, but maybe that’s a V2 thing. In it’s current configuration, that would have been a bit too jarring. The project itself, however,…

Well first, I forgot to create this post until late. But that doesn’t count. I tried a lot of things that didn’t work. The original idea for the project was to have it on a large and sparse array of LEDs, and diffuse the light with smoke. Right off the bat, a large and sparse…

A marble dropped in a bowl will maintain it’s energy and float around. I want to simulate a marble flowing through an ebbing bowl, where the “temperature” of the system is slowly raised by accelerating the marble in random directions. The marble can start calm, and stay around it’s “nest” but end chaotic, moving in…

Jim Campbell’s work seems to deal a lot with exploiting similarity and contrast. Averages From the Home Movies Series The point of Pixels is to use averages. Pixels are discrete points, and only by averaging multiple pixels in a given area does our brain make sense of an image. Projectors work the same way, by…

Hi! I’m Akshay, and I’ve always been unsure how to introduce myself. Maybe it’s just because I’m bad at articulating myself — especially through writing. I’ve always been envious of artists, and people that knew how to express themselves. In high school I found myself constantly reading up on the history and works of architects,…
