intro to new media arts
Introduction My project is an interactive “Eavesdrop Bunny” that reacts to both movement and sound. An ultrasonic sensor senses as someone approaches and servo motors are triggered and they lift both of the bunny’s ears up. Additionally, a microphone tracks the loudness of the environment and the microphone output is used to determine the color…
This interactive project is a lantern that changes color when it is shaken. The inspiration came from a video game character that I really like, and my interest in making a functioning item that has a purpose. The change of color is created by the circuit registering being shaken, which records the motion. Through the…
This project is inspired by the game Bang Dream Girls Band Party, where a band is on stage while playing the game lights interact with the music. I created a stage that features original characters that has Bluetooth capabilities that sync with any device. It allows the lights to flash whenever music plays or reacts…
PROTOTYPE FOR FINAL PROJECT For my interactive project, I created a knit skirt inspired by bioluminescent deep-sea creatures. The idea is to program a Lilypad Arduino to control the colors of a series of eight Neopixels. These Neopixels are sewn evenly around the waist of the skirt. Through movement inputs measured with the built-in accelerometer…
Interactive Project This project is interactive and explores how physical gestures and breath can be translated into emotional states using light and sound. Different movements trigger different emotional responses, allowing the user to perform and observe different moods. Using the Circuit Playground’s built-in accelerometer, speaker, microphone, buttons, and NeoPixel LEDs, the device will be able…
I was inspired by a moth plushie I own that has magnets in its wings. The magnets allow it toopen and close its wings. For my recreation I used conductive thread tied to led’s and activated with battery’s. By pressing the wings together, the led’s on the LEDs on its antennas. Materials.

Materials used: Concept: I chose to base this creative switch on the action of putting a flower behind your ear during the summertime or when visiting a tropical place. I wanted the act of wearing the flower to be what activates the LEDs, so the motion of placing the flower behind your ear closes the…
How to’s I used the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGuT-Spamt4&list=PLbU-EWvkYMLNvmKz_DOnXw_FrZR9hZ5aR&index=3 I only used the first part in this project Materials cardboard Paper Glue battery led light When you are following the video, at step six, you will add your switch. All you have to do is make sure it’s dry, drill a hole so the LED light fits,…
Inspiration I really enjoy going to the gym to release my emotions, especially if I’m angry. I think it’s funny that on the outside I look like a person just working out, but on the inside I imagine myself making angry facial expressions. The physical act of working out feels like I get to channel…
Materials used: Aluminum foil Cotton thread Tape Paper Led lights 4 batteries Conductive thread First create the desired character on the paper. Concept: My character Luna hands lights up when you touch her hands, and it will glow. Once you touch both hands the hair accessory will also light up. Cut three holes for the…
My material philosophy more often has to do with conceptual meanings over the physical properties of the material. While I do prefer to use materials that are light and less difficult to work with, I don’t often consider factors such as their longevity or performance. If anything, most of the time the materials I use…
