UPDATE: Erica Ruleau and I decided to work together, building an OctotouchY <—Click here to see post I plan on building upon the diatonic scale builder by adding MIDI functionality and possibly a touchscreen interface. By adding a MIDI jack I will be able to control an external hardware/software synthesizer and control the sound timbre by…

Interactive Art project
Overview of project When 3 characters created by layering laser cut material are placed on a stand, different combinations of pressed switches result in different effects. The two types of effects are lights and sound from a neopixel strip and a buzzer. For example, if A+B are present (A and B stand for a character…

Interactive Assignment Project Proposal for Erica Ruleau and Dustin Drenk
Our proposal is as follows: a miniature monophonic synthesizer. The onboard oscillator will be used, and programmed to a diatonic scale, 12 notes, based off of the note A4 @ 440Hz. The enclosure will be made out of plastic or wood, done by a 3D Printer or Laser Cutting Machine. The enclosure will have various…

NeMe: Trouble at the Interface 2.0 Response
In reading NeMe: Trouble at the Interface by Erkki Huhtamo, it resembled the article Digital Media and Contemporary Art in that both wrote about pieces they have seen and the connection they see between contemporary art and technology. NeMe: Trouble at the Interface, though, was a bit more difficult to understand because the authors points…
Trouble at the Interface 2.0
While reading Erkki Huhtamo’s paper “ Trouble at the Interface 2.0 “, I felt like I could not follow his paper properly. The author was going off about reasons why interactive art should have a specific definition rather than a broad one. However, he was making too many points at once and including many different…
Digital Media and Contemporary Art
Games have a place in contemporary art. Contemporary art is art developed after the 1960’s and is still emerging. It is seen as art that defies traditional boundaries. Therefore, games can very well be under contemporary art seeing as there is a growing population of them and they continue to emerge. Today, many people are…
