A Picture is Worth 1002 Words When There are Two Words in the Picture

Projects 25-27, for the record

just by the honor code, they worked for me, though the language on 26 was particularly nasty :/

Wave Shield How to - Dailey, Netalia, Natalie

This if what we need to make.
Perfecto: http://www.ladyada.net/make/waveshield/index.html
And have plenty of options how we want to have it work.

Just need the board, speakers, and an SD card with the audio.
Need to figure out where we draw the sound from (we record it, found audio).

Dailey, Natalie, Netalia -Midterm Brainstorm

Interactions

Dynamic between cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians. Perspective

People v. People

- Reflection of yourself

- Play

People v. Environment

- People are not always aware of their environment

People v. Machines

- People spend most of their time in front of the screen

Project Ideas

- Playful

- Useful, could be placed on campus. 13^th Street tunnel

- Crosswalk.

- Social experiments

- Something that create a positive result/ Deters unfavorable behavior

- Something using a projector

Sports, football, Team competition, camaraderie, pranks, diffusing a situation, traffic jams, stop people from looking at traffic accidents, alcohol and aggression, perverts, moderating drinking, stop watching tv, psychological color effect, expectations versus reality, roofies, walking places – pressure sensors, diversion of attention, Transform sounds, accents make people seem more interesting, Why are some accents more appealing than others, making laundry more fun – hanging up instead of using dryer, consumption, instant gratification, Fun waiting in line or at the bus stop, tactile, stealing the light from each other example

1.Something to use at RTS bus stop, mass produced, Fab Lab scholarship

People always sitting at the bus stop, not interacting, getting diverse people to interact, breaking the routine, personal space, using solar powered sensors, transient places, bus stop purpose is waiting, most stops have a bench, pressure sensors on bench, complimenter, speakers underneath the bench, automatic dialogue, musical bench, conversation starters,

2.Encourage people to use the crosswalk. Durable equipment, as people use the crosswalk, the person on walk/don’t walk sign dances. Dance/Don’t Dance. Have a person stand there with an LED sign. Research numerical data of who uses crosswalk.

Lights, Artists by Dailey, Daily

my circuit board, which put up an epic fight against seeing the light of day:

Ada 5, notably the potentiometer, which actually took me a while, had it oriented incorrectly : (

Chapter 2, Project 4, messy but functional:

ENESS

Australian installation "practice," not a single artist [sorry], who also, as described on their site, work with interactive software, do events, video, animation, phone apps and doubtless more. In the piece I found first, which involves projections responding to skiers jumping, to promote an energy drink, they set up an event that uses sensors to track movement and respond with eye-catching video to entertain audiences. Another piece, a museum display of Melbourne's growth over 200 years, is both artistic and functional, and audiences are interact with it and become more engaged. A sort of eyeball-thing is a portable artwork-for-hire, as ENESS will "welcome invitations to do more Sub-zero installations for adventurous ski resorts around the world." And they also do pieces at design shows and tech shows to exhibit their original software that aren't really art, but you could think of them that way.

YesYesNo

founded by Zachary Lieberman, Theo Watson, Emily Gobeille

An "interactive collective" interested in using experimental, emerging technology in interactive installations. The one piece I picked to look at, that they call a "collaboration," was a commission by Nike to celebrate the introduction of a new line of running shoes. Their custom software interpreted data artistically of participants' running, and the resulting compositions were printed and also engraved on shoe boxes. Other projects are less commercial, but still seem to not be pure art.

Daito Manabe and his youtube channel

His website isn't the easiest to figure out what he's on about [aside from it being in Japanese], frankly it's terrible if you genuinely want to know what the hell he does, but he seems to be a digital artist slash other things who works with making his own programs and uses physical computing to a great extent in different ways, on humans, custom installations, projections and so on, and collaborates with people for the hardware. This is fascinating, his 'Face Visualizer'- his face is wired, a program sends out electricity and his face responds to the music. One cryptic piece I gather is a sort of visualization ... of ... the potentials of digital art, maybe, and involves a physical device responding to audience preferences but maintaining its essential aesthetic. His art seems a bit hit-or-miss, really, not in general critical of society, he seems mostly to be playing with technology, getting attention that way, and it works.

Projects 8 and 9, without lampshade and burning cabin, respectively:

29 August

Static electricity was defined in the book as being caused by mechanical friction, such as the charge that builds between wool and amber as they are rubbed together. It happens less in places with high humidity because water absorbs charge, so it leaks away faster from the agitated material than it otherwise would.

I couldn't remember off the top of my head, but the illustrated electromagnet used a coil wrapped around a nail insulated with a straw; a magnet is rubbed over the coil to create an electromagnetic field.

I most wanted to try the experiment with the motor made with the lightweight nail, because I didn't understand how it would work at all, despite how I was supposed to, selon the book ....
