For the first assignment for Homemade Hardware I finished soldering my programming jig for an ATTiny85 microcontroller. With the finished jig I was able to burn the Arduino Bootloader to the IC, and subsequently upload custom Arduino sketches. Next the assignment was to breadboard out a circuit to control multiple LEDs using input from a […]
For Augmented Spaces this week I designed and developed an exhibit using ARKit on iOS. My initial concept was to use image anchors to make an imagined space visible that extends the world of a photograph. While doing image and 3D model research I came across an amazing resource of public domain artifacts through the […]
This week for Designing Club Culture I collected ten field recordings. I also listened through this Spotify playlist to select a track to distort the recordings into which will be due next week. Listening through the playlist I found myself drawn to tracks with less complexity, such as “Dance” by ESG and “Mystery of Love” […]
This week we were assigned to read Chapter One of Noise by Jacques Attali and also design an album release poster for one of our favorite music artists. Choosing a musician to design for was challenging. I ended up selecting LCD Soundsystem because their music has been appearing frequently in my Spotify playlists, and I […]
The distinction made by Bell Hooks in “Performance practice as a site of opposition” between performance by African-Americans for survival and performance as art reminded me of events described by Isabell Wilkerson in Caste. Historically enslaved people were made to perform for their survival to the benefit of their captors, such as needing to put […]
Over the last couple of days I made significant progress adding features and polishing up my final project. You can try it here and also in an embed at the bottom of this page. Sound During previous feedback Shawn pointed out that some unwanted noise from the P5 oscillator was likely due to needing to […]
This week I continued work on my final project for Live Web. My goal was to integrate Socket.io into an existing P5.js sketch I created in The Nature of Code to enable multiple users on the same canvas. After our earlier assignments in Live Web adding the basic Socket.io server code to the P5 sketch […]
I love games and during the pandemic found myself playing more online games as a way of staying in touch with friends and family. Purpose To create an online multiplayer game that is accessible and easy to play. Inspiration The ease of use for Jackbox Games is especially appealing to me. To play one user […]
Using getUserMedia and HTTPS Lauren Chong and I were able to make a simple video streaming site that ties a user’s mouse movement to their video camera feed. To make the video stream more manageable the video resolution and frame rate are reduced in the user’s browser before being sent to the sever. In the […]
In Live Web this week we learned about Web Sockets, which are TCP sockets in a thin HTML wrapper. To demonstrate Web Sockets we were tasked with implementing a demo chat application then developing it further on our own. First I setup a server on Digital Ocean, which was pretty similar to past experience setting […]
