Random data can, at first, seem meaningful- and meaningful data can, at first, seem random. One gripe that I had with the Spam Architecture series was that I felt the data was not meaningful enough. It came out as a random junky mess, which made me feel uneasy. It was as if the unwanted garbage…

For my final project, I wanted to create turning signals for when I bicycle. I decided to make this because while commuting on bike it sometimes is unsafe to fully extend out your arm. Times that are unsafe to do this is when I am waiting to turn left and there is a lot of…

For my final project, I wanted to replicate the Mimosa Pudica.  This plant is very sensitive to touch.  When brushed against, its leaves fold up onto each other.  I realized while making my prototype that this motion would be a lot hard to achieve.  So for my final, I want the leaves to curl up…

For my final project, I will continue with my EL wire gloves. The suggestions during the critique really helped me think about how to continue this project. As suggested, I will be changing the color of the thread that I used to sew the wire to the gloves. I will use a darker color, such…

The quote by Foucault at the beginning of the essay really does a great job at capturing what is so striking about all of the sub-genres that fall under “living as form”; why haven’t people done it before? Seeing oneself and one’s surroundings as a point through which art can be created and translated into…

For my interactive project, I propose to create turning signals for when I’m commuting on bike. It already is very dangerous to bicycle on the road due to the conditions of the road and heavy traffic. I do not want to also worry about a car running into my arm while I’m signaling for a…

This is the code that I will be using for my project: //#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> //#define PIN 13 #include <Adafruit_GFX.h> #include <Adafruit_NeoMatrix.h> #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> #ifndef PSTR  #define PSTR // Make Arduino Due happy #endif #define PIN 6 // People seem to make their matrixes in two modes… // Seeedstudio – flip each row (uncomment) // Adafruit…

Here is the glove from the beginning. I bought two pairs of the long and stretchy white bridal gloves from Davids Bridal because I wanted them to be extra long to be able to make a pocket for the device at the end. For each glove, I sewed a number onto the glove where the…
