music visualization
December, 2011 For my algorithmic animation final, I wanted to capture the beat of the music to visualize its video in a different way. I mapped sections of the video to individual particles that then reacted with each other and fft data to provide an interesting effect. I have three different ‘modes’ within this exploration that get [...]
surface
June, 2011 A collaboration between Caitlin Morris, Lee Williams, Yu Tong, and myself. Shown during ALT Beijing in June, 2011, and Beijing Design Week in September, 2011. SURFACE is an interactive installation that reduces the immense scale of Beijing into an intimate and individual experience. Each person has an influence on their urban [...]

April, 2011 Windmill is a musical sequencer. A user clicks to create a hotspot anywhere on the canvas. As the windmill arms of the playheads cross the hotspot, a corresponding sound plays. Patterns are created based on the number arms on [...]

butterfly
October, 2011 Created in collaboration with Tami Evnin and inspired by Arthur Ganson‘s work, we decided to create a butterfly whose wings would flap gracefully. We started by coding our motors to rotate gracefully. We used an easing technique with the following equation: (target position – current position [distance left to go] / increment) + current position This increments the [...]
