intro to new media arts
——– Interactive Project ——– For my project I wanted to prototype a game on the Arduino and make something interactive for people to enjoy. At first, I was going to do an installation where two people would play a game, but I wanted to do something a little different than a game on display. After…
My final project was inspired by Camille A. Brown who is a performative artists and centers her work mainly around African-American experiences. For my project I wanted to do a call and response theme which is a performative act that is well-known in African-American music and rituals. The project is very simple; individuals who have…
Call and Response Attached below is my proposal: Interactive Project Proposal, Douglas, Tamae Questions: How can i conceptually express my work better so that you(the audience) have a better understanding of what I am trying to portray? Is there any advice on how to utilize circuit playground/adafruit to mimic sounds? Since my project is…
Our proposal is as follows: a miniature monophonic synthesizer. The onboard oscillator will be used, and programmed to a diatonic scale, 12 notes, based off of the note A4 @ 440Hz. The enclosure will be made out of plastic or wood, done by a 3D Printer or Laser Cutting Machine. The enclosure will have various…
To start off I would like to say that the paper NeMe: Trouble at the Interface 2.0 by Erkki Huhtamo is highly technical and dry, with a lot of good references and their explanations, but not a lot of iteration on the actual substance of interactive art. I would agree more with the paper if it presented…
Question 1: What Place is there for Games in Contemporary Art? Contemporary art is so vast today and is both fluid and static. With the use of digital tools such as computers, the internet and software along with the ever evolving mobility of of the use of these tools in any arena of life, almost…
This interactive creation is a sight to see! I’m not that funny…. but this interactive display is called Eyecode and it was made by Golan Levin in 2007. That rhymed. With a hidden camera, the display responds to the blinking movement of your eyes. When you blink the eyes on the screen light up. When…
Stefan Sagmeister and Ralph Ammer transformed into a dynamic duo of technology and typography when they teamed up to create the interactive installation featuring the phrase “Being not truthful works against me” woven into spiderwebs, projected onto a screen. The phrase originates from Sagmeister’s book “Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far,” and…
You know those wonderful moments when the technology gods decide they have it out for you, and all you want to do is throw your computer across the room, smash your cell phone, or smack your television? Well, Mark Hauenstein is here for us all with a product that lets you express those frustrations. He…
Link to New York Times video of the installationArtist/musician David Byrne has this summer presented “Playing the Building”, a work in which the entirety of an empty ferry terminal building is converted into a musical instrument. An antique pump-style organ is used as the interface to “play” the structure- the workings of the organ have…
Based on the story of Peter Pan, Neverneverland recreates the mood of the imaginary world. Using only one light source and colored surfaces an abstract shape is created. The piece also makes use of a webcam along with PD to track users as the walk towards the installation allowing the piece to respond to motion…
