For the final project, I attempted to make a device that captures the “shakes” of the internet. The work samples live twitter data and looks for tweets that match a set of keywords; any words that fit this register as “tremors” and are outputted as oscillations of a servo, captured on a turning spool of…

Questions
How to correctly code on Mu-editor using a longer/ more complex code? What songs would people like to listen to using the midi controller? what design should I create using the LED lights on the circuit playground express?
Questions for final project
Q1. Should I include humidity sensor as well with sound sensor? Q2. Is it better to use neopixel strip with neopixel ring? Q2. Should I include butterflies in the interface as well by using LEDs?
Questions for final project
How many LEDs can be connected to one I/O pin? How can you make a for loop keep iterating for a specific amount of time?
Questions for Final Project
Is it better to have multiple lights representing dots and dashes or to have single light? What material would work best for diffusing light in the jar? To display “stillness”/”waiting” should all lights be off or on ?
Questions to be answered about final projects
in make code do you need to put in a specific input to have the program run to led lights attached by the conductive holes? once an animation is turned off is there a way to have it automatically come back on without using the onboard switch?
Slow design principles – Daniel Barrera
When I read over the 6 design principles I kept thinking back to the artist, Gabriel Orozco and his take on everyday objects. Orozco’s work focus on that fragile relationship with those everyday objects. one of those pieces is “Ping Pond Table”. It follows principle 2 which is “evolve” and principle 5 which is “participate”….
Slow Design Principles
After reading through the Slow Design Principles the first design project that came to mind was EarthShip Homes. The Earthships homes in New Mexico are homes that are self-sustaining in nature, making them eco-friendly options for people to own or rent. These homes use design principle 4, because the homes are created on shared blueprints….
Slow Design Principles
The Augmented Reality Sandbox, created by researchers at UC Davis W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences, is an interactive art installation that allows the user to change the topography of the sandbox. By moving the sand around, the user can create moutains, valleys, and riverbeds. This work fits the slow design principles…
Slow Design Principals:
An example is the Sasa Clock by Icelandic artist Thorunn Arnadottir. The ceaseless march of time, measurable in endlessly smaller increments, is a western concept. In many parts of the world, time is not parsed into seconds or even minutes. In some places, people perceive time as speeding up when activities speed up and slowing…
