In the reading I found myself reflecting on the saying of how we live in the “Data Age” which is terrifyingly true. The abstraction of data, the way we use, and manipulate for design purposes is one way to think about the data. There is so much random and accumulating data out there that theres…

Final Project Proposal
The Octopus Touch Lamp aka “Octotouchy” A mini touch activated lamp in the shape of an Octopus that each arm will control a specific color led and act as the sensor and a switch(color changes rather than on/off). The model will be 3D printed in at least one color, the UV plastic for extra flare….
Final Project Proposal (Updated to Octotouchy)
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…
