For my conference project, I designed a game called “A Cup of Rain.” On the screen, there is a “measuring cup” on the bottom, collecting the falling “rain drops.” The rain drops are generated with different sizes and moving speeds,…

When we were on “Race to the End” earlier this semester, I’ve made a game called standoff. It was a pretty good game overall (I think it was the best thing I’ve accomplished so far) but I thought I could…

I decided to look into Beads for audio generation within Processing. From the early stages of prototyping my seeking particle system (shown below), I found that I craved some sort of sound-representation of the particle motion onscreen; rather than designing…

During our playtest we found that our game was for the most part a success. We had one downfall from the playtest and that was to some the game felt a bit stupid a novelty. Isaac and I got together…

After some hard programming we finally have a functioning game that we will go to playtest in the class. So we have that interface I posted in my last post, but now we have an official lose state and win…

Isaac and I are working on a conference game together. The entire semester we have been working on an idea called BridgeBuilder. I’ve mentioned it various times in earlier posts. However, we have finally decided to not do BridgeBuilder we…

I am sticking with my original idea of conference project, doing a series of sticker labels. My first sticker project of IKEA is to deliver the message of using forced labor in major companies. It was sort of serious and…

So! I have assembled my board. I’s wraught with cynicism… perhaps dripping with sarcasm… But I’m thoroughly enjoying myself, so there’s that. I’m using actual classes I’ve taken, and on the “property cards,” I’m explaining what a student would come…

Here are images of the materials I have added to my project. I chose these lights because they are cordless and create a calming atmosphere. I am in a bit of a waiting game now because my hula hoop has…

As the semester comes to a close and there is less than a week left to finalize my conference project, I feel confident in the work I have accomplished. I am at a really good spot with my work, and…

Bug Spotter has been going fairly well since I laid out the initial concept. I will likely have to simplify further as I get deeper into coding, but I have been focusing primarily on getting the visuals right (as that…

While sketching in my book, I stumbled upon an idea for a conference project that I immediately fell in love with: I would make a game about a lady bug that gets its spots. Aside from that, I had absolutely…

This is a sketch for my infographic – I chose the information that seemed most interesting from the data I’d gathered, and drafted a few rough layouts. Then I made sure that each segment, or chunk of information, had a…

So I’ve been working on my audio intervention project by pursuing a couple different parallel threads – – The Physical aspect -My project will need speakers to work, small, portable speakers that can be placed underneath tables and on walls…

I have always had a strong fascination with advertisements, and the power dynamics the symbolize. To give context briefly, some of my first small acts of unsanctioned public art was in high school, when I was tired of looking at…

According to Saskia Sassen, branding is the basic mediation between individuals and markets. In order to have a successful urban intervention, it is important to understand the relationship between the people and the society, the connection between men and objects….

For my conference i wanted to experiment with the way i could affect or cause interruptions in the naturally occurring flow of conversation and other daily life activities. I want to specifically work with music and audio, as a source…

I wanted to work with a space I have a lot of opinions about, so for a while I was thinking Bates. I wanted to bring to light the “come and go mess hall” nature of the place by creating…

Reclaiming Place/Reframing Space – Conference Project This class has encouraged me to rethink the way i think and work in Heimbold. I will always stand up for Heimbold, but lately I have been more critical. Going beyond the water issue,…
