Student Information

Hi. I love metaphors, poetic analogies, and cookies. Everything that we make and build reflects on something we take from natural phenomena. As a second-year MFADT student, I am fleshing out the aesthetic, social, and psychological discoveries that occur when we digitialize the non-digital world. More information on my thesis process can be found at gardenWalls.

HW 3.00: Circular Animations Beginning to Breathe.

Assignment Criteria: Find (1) John Whitney Knock-off, (b) sound + visual, (c) nature in code, (d) lissajous, (e) xeno / atan2, (f) amplitude modulation

Deliverables:

(1) John Whitney. (source files)

(2) Sound + Visual. (source files)

(2) Sound + Visual 2 (For Fun). (source files (video included...Vimeo didn't support it))

(3) Natural Phenomenon: Water. (source files)

(3) Natural Phenomenon: Blossom (Did for fun). (source files)

(4) Lissajous. (source files)

(5) Xeno/Atan2. (source files)

HW 2.00: Playing with Object Properties

Assignment Criteria: Find (a) fastest non-moving speed, (b) fastest still perceptible speed, (c) click to change pta and ptb, (d) shaper controls something else besides position, (e) multiple xenos, (f) multiple xenos trail (bonus ++)

Deliverable:

(a) slooow. (source files)

(b) faaast. (source files)

(c) pta and ptb. (source files)

(d) shaper controls. (source files)

(e) xenos. (source files)

Evaluation: (a) It was a bit hard to choose between what could be accepted as perceptible and non-perceptible. So I stuck my guns and decided that setting an increment of pct += 0.000002f was slow enough to make visible progress and that (b) pct += 0.048f was the fastest increment we could customize to make the animation look uber-quick (if my number isn't the right one..I'm still positive it exists between 0.04 and 0.05).

HW 1.20: FlipBook

Assignment Criteria: Please make and document the best flip book you can make.

Deliverable: * You will first see the planning of the flip book and then several trials of testing out the physical iteration.

Evaluation: I suppose I didn't have too much a beginning-to-end narrative going on here - the underlying message was a personal objective for the class - to produce magic from the palm of my hand.

HW 1.10: Discovering Linear vs. Nonlinear Motion

Assignment Criteria: Using a stationary video camera, record objects as they move in the world.
