I decided on creating a terrarium for my final project that can be sustained with grow lights and temperature and humidity sensors. The idea behind it is to make a sustainable system and urban garden environment that is both pleasant to look at and useful.  Shopping List: Glass Dome Arduino Temperature and Humidity Sensor Some…

My project is to make shoulder pads with sharp attachments that stick upwards when the wearer’s heart rate goes up. This will be a way of creating a visible defense mechanism like a porcupine bristling when threatened. For the heart rate moniter, I plan to follow the idea laid out in this video: (source)  For…

Shopping List (Tentative) Here is a tentative shopping list for my drawing machine. Tentative because I’m sure as I work on it I will need more parts than this. Moreover, I am currently looking into using Processing to connect my Nexus4 Smart Phone, and it may replace some parts on this list. Please note, I…

      Reactions to Living As Form           Having learned that Living As Form exposed numerous lines of tension created by recent art projects, the first two projects perfectly fit that description. The Women on Waves project was designed to legally give abortions to women from countries where abortion was illegal….

Project Proposal : Drawing Machine. The proposal is for a small movable robot that will create “Spirograph” type designs on a flat sheet of paper. A small robot that moves via servos would hold a pencil/marker in order to draw a pattern on a large piece of construction paper. The main control for the robot…

My interactive project is going to be a prototype of my final project. This piece is part of my exploration of the relationships I have with people and how both people can benefit. I have always seen myself as an individual who never needed company of another being to make me feel fulfilled. This being…
