Interactive Assignment : Shopping List

Shopping List (Tentative) Here is a tentative shopping list for my drawing machine. Tentative because I’m sure as I work on it I will need more parts than this. Moreover, I am currently looking into using Processing to connect my Nexus4 Smart Phone, and it may replace some parts on this list. Please note, I…

Reactions to Living As Form (Marcin Wieczorek)

      Reactions to Living As Form           Having learned that Living As Form exposed numerous lines of tension created by recent art projects, the first two projects perfectly fit that description. The Women on Waves project was designed to legally give abortions to women from countries where abortion was illegal….

Project Proposal

Project Proposal : Drawing Machine. The proposal is for a small movable robot that will create “Spirograph” type designs on a flat sheet of paper. A small robot that moves via servos would hold a pencil/marker in order to draw a pattern on a large piece of construction paper. The main control for the robot…

Interactive Project

My interactive project is going to be a prototype of my final project. This piece is part of my exploration of the relationships I have with people and how both people can benefit. I have always seen myself as an individual who never needed company of another being to make me feel fulfilled. This being…

Project Proposal

For this project I decided to create a machine that is responsive to the environment around it. This machine will draw based on two things. One is on the sounds level in the room, it will also draw based on the distance of a person to the machine. The machine will draw on a continuous piece of paper that will move…

Drawbot For my Interactive Project I decided to creating a drawing machine. Using Arduino and three servo motors as my primary sources of power, I will have a mechanism that draws on the paper. The planks connecting the servo motors will serve as shoulders to manipulate the the movement. As it shows in this picture, the…

Prototype of the Mail Checker (Marcin Wieczorek)

Jesse Schnell

– What is plausible, what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schnell describes? Although at first it may seem far fetched the idea of everything becoming a game or a Coca-Cola can connecting to the internet, this future may be coming, and faster than we anticipate. One thing that is for certain about the future…

Jesse Schell Response

I think this world Jesse Schell proposes is very plausible. It sounded like a weird foreign land that could never happen at first but with the way social media is moving I think it could really happen. It seems like apps and websites are becoming much more integrated with every day life. We check in…

Jesse Schnell & Living Skins

1) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schell describes and, most importantly, make a clear case for why? A lot of what Jesse Schnell brought up is definitely plausible, and has begun to happen even more in the four years (!!! we’re getting old, guys!) since this talk. I…

Jesse Schell 1) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schell describes and, most importantly, make a clear case for why? I think that main plausible idea Jesse Schell describes is that we will want to learn more and do more on daily basis because we will want to gain…
