New Genres

What I wanted to achieve with this system was initially, a better understanding of patterns – specifically the creation of a pattern. It was hard for me to understand the points of a pattern and having to figure out where…

This studio exercise was an instance where the revision process helped me understand the concept much more deeply. Initially, I built upon check_in 12, where I used curved fractal shapes to randomly place onto the canvas, in order to create…

I am going to construct a hanging, nest-like installation made of found branches, sticks, ivy, and dried flowers. I will hang vine charcoal from the branches, using a pendulum-like motion to create a drawing on a piece of newsprint that…

My zoetrope, a Cherry Tree, is composed of two pieces of digital drawing on each side of a round cardboard, two bands, two clips, two sticks, and a cardboard base. Viewer can see two images combining together by spinning the…

For this vision machine project, I made a floral zoetrope. I drew the process of a flower growing and blooming. I put mirrors on the inner part of the zoetrope so you would see the process of the flower blooming….

I have changed my ideas for several times, at first, I want to do something with a magnet because the magnet is like a magic to me and if I do the install then the magnet would make my work…

My inspiration for this system comes from the idea of interrupting and intervening in the ways we typically engage with the space around us. From class, I am very interested in Samuel Beckett’s work, Quad, which creates an exciting pattern…

My vision machine is a zoetrope that creates an illusion of motion through an interruption of the image that prevents it from simply blurring together. This interruption of the image had me thinking of a section from Machine Art in…

Using the most basic possible description, what I will be making is an easel and drawing device that will be controlled by the manipulation of strings. The easel that I’ve constructed is roughly 3 feet tall and 20 inches wide,…

My vision machine is modeled after Marcel Duchamp’s rotoreliefs or decorated discs made to spin on a turntable as optical entertainment. These spinning discs observe the process through which the human visual apparatus creates the impression of movement and spatial…

For my vision machine I constructed a zoetrope. A zoetrope is an early animation machine used in the 19th century. This pre cinematic machine was replicated in processing. It was easy to see the similarities between the flickering animation of…

At first, I wanted to use a magnet to do some “magic” effects. Then I just played a pinball game some time ago. I think the ball’s action path can match my “magic”. For example, I can let the magnet…

For my conference project I will be making a spinning wheel. I was attracted to this idea after doing a bit of research and coming upon this machine that someone created, which then prompted me to want to recreate it….

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…

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…

My conference work for this semester is a coded drawing machine. The mouse works as an eraser, which makes the black cover transparent and expose the colorful bottom plate. The uncovered parts is what viewers draw. The bottom plate is…

I am going to construct a hanging, nest-like installation made of found branches, sticks, ivy, and dried flowers. I will hang vine charcoal from the branches, using a pendulum-like motion to create a drawing on a piece of newsprint that…

My initial goals for this piece were to use the framework and structure that I developed earlier in the year and take it to a more expanded level. Previously I thought that by increasing the scale of the piece I…

For my last project in Interactive Art, I ended up creating a house of nostalgia. The installation consisted of a cardboard box house, spray painted with a multitude of colors, filled with miscellanious toys and items from my childhood. Behind…

When I started in New Genres, I was determined to make a game. My original idea was to create a visually simplistic, text-based narrative that the user would progress through by answering questions. After reading “Strategies of Interactive Art” by…
