I fixed, added, and alternated some items from my previous interactive project. Some of these include the materials and code being used in the project. Materials used: Clipboard  Bristol paper Hot glue Wooden coffee sticks mailing tube pir sensor arduino 9 volts battery jumpers Transparent plastic Copper wire   I alternated the previous surface for a…

For my original plan, I was hoping to make a lotus flower from the laser cut iris wheel. However, the product did not turn out anywhere close to it, but the results were nice to be concluded to the final project. Materials used: Clipboard Mailing tube  Bristol paper Servo motor  Arduino Wax paper Paperclips Wire…

To continue with the Interactive Project.. In the interactive project, there are several things I could improve on especially the materials used on the leaves for “plant”. The wax paper used for the previous project were loose that comes out from place since it was slide under the iris “leaves”. The lollipop sticks and paperclips…

Miyajima is a Japanese-born sculptor and installation artist. He was originally a painter, but later took on sculpture and installation works. His artistic concepts are to “keep changing, connect with everything, and continue forever”. In his first LED counter in 1988, he had a block displayed the digits from 1 to 99 in red and/or…

I think Ipolito at first tackled the idea of sharing information as cheating. He says that school systems, specifically major universities, have become increasingly negative towards the idea of sharing information, to the point where students can’t even discuss what they learned out of class, almost as if they are being presented classified CIA documents….

For my final project, I’d like to continue with my interactive assignment project, which was the headband that lit up with different colors when you pushed it. Last time, I made the prototype work at least technically, but I noticed, as I think everyone did, that it was falling apart. I also think the wires…

Hi guys, I’ve updated my final project in a post below, so feel free to read that if you want to. My questions for you are: 1.) What kinds of virtual spaces would you like to see? I’m thinking a room based off of my apartment living room, a backyard with grass and a pond,…

Living as Form takes a special look into society and its issues, and urges us to view them in a curious, critical way. Gatherings, protest, and social issues all exemplify the human condition- emotions flow freely. People join together to work on a greater cause. Opinions grind against each other like sand and stone. But…

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…
