Final results: Kitty Luv from Emily L on Vimeo. — For our after effects project, our group (Shivani, Shiyu, and I) cycled through many different ideas before landing on what story we wanted to tell. We had a lot of inspiration that we shared amongst each other, but below are the two main influences that […]

PCM Wk 5: Readings
Happy Feedback Machine by Ahn Nguyen What a fun idea! It’s immediately attractive with it’s overload of buttons, switches, cool interfaces, but I couldn’t help but want it to do something. I do realize that doing something would defeat it’s purpose of acting as an artist statement/ sculpture rather than a functional design object. However, with […]
PCM Wk 4: Dice Wheel
Final Result: — Process: For this week’s more open ended assignment, I was excited to do something fun and interactive! I thought about a couple of ideas, but eventually landed on doing a wheel of fortune spinner. Except that instead of spinning for money, the pointer would land on a random activity that the user […]
PCM Wk 4: Labs
Labs: Analog Output Motor Below is a video of my results after following along the “Analog Ouput: Motor Control“. Instead of using the wind motor, I used a motor I already had (unfortunately it doesn’t have any cool tissue or fan on it so the motion of the result is not too clear). However, I […]
ICM Wk 4: Functions
Final result: sketch — This week’s more open-ended assignment is to use functions for either a.) re-organize my code from a previous assignment or b.) start anew. I debated between the two options and decided I’d attempt to do 2 ideas, one of which is based on the previous week 2 assignment, but it will not […]
PCM Wk 3: Vending Machine Observation
One of my most treasured place in Manhattan is the Bobst Library, especially it’s dead-quiet graduate student working area. It is the best place for writing and blogging, as I am doing now. This means that I need to pass by the common eating and drinking area of the basement floor in order to get […]
PCM Wk 3: Labs
Lab 2: Digital Input and Output with an Arduino I first followed along with the “Digital Output” video. Next, I wired up the Arduino with a pushbutton, making sure that the red jumper goes to the 5V and the black goes to the Ground. On the right, is the version with 2 LEDs and […]
ICM Wk3: Moon Phases
Final result: sketch — Process: For this week’s project to work with more rule-base animation, motion and interaction, and to try making a rollover, button or slider from scratch; I teamed up with Eva! We started out by first discussing potential concepts; we both liked the idea of trying to show the phases of the moon […]
PCM Wk 2: Creative Switch Lab (Foil Fingers!)
For this project to make our own switches, I initially thought about using the RGB LED (the one with 3 legs and one leg for ground). I remember seeing/ using this LED in the Arduino Uno kit, and I was tempted to use it again for this. At first I wired it with […]
PCM Wk2: Labs
Lab: Setting up a Breadboard I followed along the three examples to find out if the LED would light up. I tried to guess first, but before checking the answer I tried to set the circuit it up myself. Below are 3 examples. Answer 1: Answer 2 (the one that doesn’t light up): Answer 3 […]
