intro to new media arts
I wanted to create an interactive piece where it is shaped like a butterfly, and when you make its wings flap, the LEDs turn on. The switch aspect in this project is the loop made out of conductive fabric tape touching the copper tape to close the circuit and turn the LEDs on. Supplies: 4 red,…
PShape Shapes; void setup() { size(500,400); background(10, 80, 100); } void draw() { background(50); stroke(255); fill(150); rect(mouseX, 180, 100, 50); translate(mouseX, mouseY); ellipse(0, 0, 40, 40); // Note that this ellipse will move twice as fast as the previous, // because transformation accumulate fill(0, 255, 0, 100); translate(mouseX, mouseY); ellipse(0, 0, 40, 40); if (mousePressed)…
My initial idea for this project was to create something that would be helpful in some way for me. I began by thinking about making some sort of mechanism that would somehow remind about items or things that I usually forget to take like my wallet or keys. Through some brainstorming I ended up with…
For my creative switch I wanted to make a necklace that lit up. Specifically I really wanted the clasp to serve as the switch. So the motion of closing the necklace would light up the LEDs. The LEDs also take place of gems/charms that are usually on a necklace. Materials: Necklace 3 LEDs Wire (green…
For my creative switch I wanted to use something you typically wouldn’t want near electricity, water. Using water as a switch might seem strange at first, because you might think mixing water and electricity is a bad idea, but water can work just like any other conductor. I decided to make a bottle light up…
When I think about the concept of a switch, turning a light on and off, I think about my terrible grammar growing up. “Open the lights,” My mom would tell me. “Close the lights,” I’d imitate her. So I thought about an action that would mean “To open and close.” I also thought about light…
Drawing machine void setup() { size(600,300); background(); } void draw() { fill(random(255), random(255),random(255),random(255)); rect(random(600),random(600),random(255),random(255)); if (mousePressed == true){ line (pmouseX, pmouseY, mouseX,mouseY); } }
In my dorm room, I have a bunch of Christmas lights because Christmas holds a special place in my heart. It’s a time where all of my family members get together and celebrate without having to worry about reality. We all just enjoy each other’s presence in the moment. I created this because with the…
I was inspired to capture the joy that plants might feel when they are being watered. This is the sentiment I tried to emulate in my piece, “Happy Flower.” The empty watering can follows the user’s mouse, and when you press down, water should come out of the watering can. The sun in the corner…
I didn’t really know what kind of image I wanted to create so this image came about as I was learning different things on Processing. I didn’t get too elaborate as I came across a lot of errors when I did, sadly. But along the way I came up with the idea of drawing a…
Pretty simply titled “Frog”, this sketch was originally intended to be something very different. After messing around with the random function for a bit, I kind of liked the idea of making a background that changes but also incorporating user input. There are sixteen lily pads that are generated with a for loop at random coordinates,…
For this assignment I decided to experiment with simple complexity using processing. I had the idea to try out a 3D sketch, with features like camera control, color, randomness, and more. With some simple loops, I was able to create a random matrix of 3D shapes that form interesting patterns. The space can then be…
