A Story is Not a Tree

I’ve made many collages in my life. I’ve always enjoyed cutting out images from magazines or flyers, taping them to the lid of a shoebox and finding satisfaction in the collection of visuals. Making collages always felt very personal, I…

This collage piece was mostly focused on me trying to get a lot of elements from different sources and try to get them to look as natural as possible together. Except for the phone which was intentionally made to be…

Once upon a time, there was a Hedgehog who wanted to go on a walk. Why did the Hedgehog want to go on a walk? He didn’t really have a reason. It’s just what the Hedgehog wanted to do for as…

Already having been behind in Art from Code, I realized that my outlook towards this assignment stipulated an effective strategy. After talking with some people, I decided to try to capture a poem that I had already written in the…

My first instinct with this assignment was to write “this is a collage” and turn that in, in true Rauschenberg style. But then I decided to give it a shot and see what I could come up with. The assignment…

I started with the idea of commenting on the role of wealth and attention in society. But after a while I realized my concept kept coming back to social media.  Obviously social media is a catch grab for attention but…

When I began working on this assignment, I wanted to create a dynamic and interactive image that reflected a part of my personality while taking inspiration from Paul Klee. I noticed that in Klee’s self-portrait, his face is divided into…

I started this project by trying to build a semi-realistic representation of my facial structure. But, after some experimentation I decided that a simple representation would serve the same purpose without the mess of ellipses and triangles. The square with…

When I began this project I was unclear about how I wanted to represent myself. As I started the coding I realized I wanted to use unrealistic colors rather than conventional skin tones. Initially the hair was a basic arc…

Does my self-portrait capture me? Who knows. I feel like a portrait drawn by another person and a self-portrait are entirely different things. While a portrait by a third party captures your physical appearance, it may not necessarily capture your…

I should start by saying when we were assigned this project I wanted to throw up a little bit. I was still trying to figure out how to open Atom correctly, and now I had to code a self portrait?…

For this project, I set out to make basically a face with a random assortment of facial features all around the screed (inside and outside the face). However I became a more interested in just using tons and tons of…

Before creating my self-portrait I never considered myself an artist in any dimension or medium. However, as the end of my first month in Art From Code quickly approaches, I’ve found a budding appreciation for abstract artists and art not…

       When we first got this assignment, all I could think of is how difficult it is to sum up a person in one image. I knew that I wanted to go for both a literal and an…

I came up with the idea for this piece based off the concept of being two things at once: blank and thinking a lot. But I also wanted it to capture the opposite: very expressive with a blank mind. This…

Before I put anything down on the page or in Atom, I knew that I wanted to have a basic face for my self portrait, and (since color is very intriguing and important to me) I wanted to have three…

Gabriel Eng To generate an idea of how I wanted to approach this assignment, I first glanced through the examples posted on the shared google drive.  At first, it was just to figure out a template for my code but…

My timeline this semester was as follows: March 10 – Discovery meetings March 29 – I received final approval for installation from the Committee on Student Life April 12 – I picked up my paint from Mo Gallagher @ Facilities…

For my conference project, I decided to do a sculpture based on the artist Hans Haacke and my understanding of systems. Hans Haake was the main inspiration for my conference project however I also took from the ideas of sculpture…
