For this project I decided to create a machine that is responsive to the environment around it. This machine will draw based on two things. One is on the sounds level in the room, it will also draw based on the distance of a person to the machine. The machine will draw on a continuous piece of paper that will move…

Drawbot For my Interactive Project I decided to creating a drawing machine. Using Arduino and three servo motors as my primary sources of power, I will have a mechanism that draws on the paper. The planks connecting the servo motors will serve as shoulders to manipulate the the movement. As it shows in this picture, the…

         My prototype project is the Mail Checker. This device uses multiple components to detect and communicate with the user. Using an Arduino Board , a battery source, a GSM board, and force sensors, the device has the ability to detect mail. Once placed in the mailbox , the device waits for…

– What is plausible, what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schnell describes? Although at first it may seem far fetched the idea of everything becoming a game or a Coca-Cola can connecting to the internet, this future may be coming, and faster than we anticipate. One thing that is for certain about the future…

I think this world Jesse Schell proposes is very plausible. It sounded like a weird foreign land that could never happen at first but with the way social media is moving I think it could really happen. It seems like apps and websites are becoming much more integrated with every day life. We check in…

1) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schell describes and, most importantly, make a clear case for why? A lot of what Jesse Schnell brought up is definitely plausible, and has begun to happen even more in the four years (!!! we’re getting old, guys!) since this talk. I…

Jesse Schell 1) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schell describes and, most importantly, make a clear case for why? I think that main plausible idea Jesse Schell describes is that we will want to learn more and do more on daily basis because we will want to gain…

1.) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future Jesse Schell describes and most importantly, make a clear case why? After watching the video, I think it is plausible that technology will get so cheap that over time, sensors will be everywhere. These senors will be able to detect our movements and help…

Living Skins & Big Brother video 1) What is plausible and what is implausible about the future that Jesse Schell describes and, most importantly, make a clear case for why? The scary part is… that its all very Plausible. Extremely so. We DO have sensors for almost everything right now. Wireless sensors, movement, brain activity,…

Raphael Lozano-Hemmer is electronic artist who was born in Mexico. He makes large interactive instillations that have gained him attention and awards. His works range in medium but all embrace new technology. For example, his latest work, Sphere Packing, incorporates 3d printing into his technique. Most of his pieces allow the viewers to interact with…

 source: x  Zimoun is a self-taught Swiss artist who specializes in “architecturally-minded landscapes of sound.” Many of his works involve taking a sound and extrapolating it on an epic scale by installing many identical versions of the same simple machine. He often uses hundreds of simple DC motors to drive the machines, which repeatedly produce…

For my Artist Presentation I have chosen Amy Youngs for her work in Biological Arts and Interactive Sculptures. Recieving her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999 and an Associate Professor in art at the Ohio State University, she explores the relationship between technology and the changing concept of nature…
