Systems Aesthetics: An Early System Color Slit Scan

My system that I have created is a slit scan that takes in a video from the computer web camera and moves the position of the video as it goes along and has a delay input so that the video…

Systems Aesthetics: An Early System – Magic Star Path Tracker

For my system I wanted to challenge myself and use both code and studio to achieve this prompt.  Initially I wanted to focus on origami that had multiple states or forms of being, movable flexible origami. In the Edo period…

Systems Aesthetics: An Early System – Ellipses and You

Since the beginning of this semester, we have studied several artists’ different approaches to creating systems. Ron Resch points out that a system is about a process. He creates a system by choosing a material, observing it, imposing rules on…

Conference Project & Post-Mortem: SONOSPECTRUM

Proposal: After hearing Steve Reich’s experiments in sound through 12 Instruments and reinterpretations by Philip Glass in the hours and O Superman by Laurre Anderson, I was fascinated by generative music, and looked towards the Beads library in processing. Intended…

Blackspace: A Lot of Noise in a Crowded Space

For my Blackspace I created a room full of water bottles, which I thought would be interesting to navigate in the dark but never expected would be a musical and noise generation experience. The original aim was to place water…

Systems Aesthetics: System 2 Branch Unfolding

Moving on system 1, which attempted to recreate the systematic approach that Ron Resch used on paper crumpling, I changed the trajectory of my attempts at manual systems with a digital tool I was very familiar with: Adobe Illustrator. My…

Systems Aesthetics: System 1

After Ron Resch’s Paper and Stick experiments and systems, I attempted to investigate his method and define his system in simple steps that could be recreated: My notes of all his processes were: He aims to solely crumple the paper…

Systems Aesthetics: Kinect + Processing

For my conference I always knew I wanted to do something interactive. Interactivity is probably the most fun I can have with programming, I love the gratification of being so involved in a system. I came into this class with…

Systems Aesthetics: A Later System: Varied Connections

My system 3 consists of various shapes created at random, with the center of each shape connected to one “main” shape via a line. As the shapes move around and collide with each other, they are then sent in other…

Systems Aesthetics: A Later System, princess_me.png

princess_me.png is my attempt to make an infinite glitch system with a picture of a princess. Infinite in this case meant that the system doesn’t end. When trying to program the system, i kept getting this screen. I realize after…

Systems Aesthetics: A Later System Video Glitch

My system glitches live stream video from the computer’s web cam. The project was a direct response to a glitch code developed in class that altered pixels of a given image. Since then I was determined to create a similar…
