Continuing on our research of sound and the Arduino chip, we have created a musical instrument after a lot of hours spent on the comp version. We have called this instrument “The Light Wave DJ” and are in the process of developing a web site for it. What you will see below is a video […]

Marius Watz gave a talk about digital media and digital fabrication of art. He is a Programmer that began his career in the “Media Revolution” of the 1990’s He talked about the difference between “Strong” and “Weak” Artificial Intelligence. He talked about non-human art theories and his view of the direction of computer generated art. […]

For the Class Physical to Virtual and Back (P2V) we are designing 3D models in Maya and then exporting to Virtools for programming and interface building. This is a fictional fighter jet I made. Soon I will be exporting this to Virtools so I can program it to respond to sound sensors and video feeds. […]

I decided to elaborate on my “Matrix” text rain and hook up some Arduino control to it. I programmed the Arduino to communicate with my Powerbook using a 9600bps signal. The Arduino was hooked up to a breadboard with 3 sensors; 2 potentiometers and a photocell. I then programmed my text rain to read the […]

For ICM we had to code a Processing file to display a text of some sort. I decided to go a little towards the POP end and create raining letters like in the movie “THE MATRIX” Here is what the file looks like and the code! =) Click on image to see animation.

Moving on with the concept for out midterm project I rigged a Piezo buzzer to a potientometer to see how a change in voltage frequency will effect the buzzer. After working on the Buzzer I included 2 photocell sensors to the circuit of LEDs that I created previously. The goal is to try and change […]

For a midterm project Borna, Jay and I are creating a circuit of lights and sound that turn on and off in a looping sequence. This is an attempt number one to illustrate the general concept. We are rigging a circuit of 8 lights and thinking about using Piezo Buzzers in the mean time to […]

You may be wondering; gee why would anyone use Processing over Macromedia Flash? The answe of course is; Bunnies!!!! Check them out! They bounce they are adorable and they never stop moving! Bunnies.

This week I wired my Arduino and my Breadboard to take the reading from a potentiometer or a photocell and use it to turn a Servo motor at a specific angle. Here is the video I managed to capture. This is a video clip showing the potentiometer controlling the Servo motor: This is a Photocell […]
