The Ohio State University Art and Technology department received a special guest last week, Digital and sculptural artist, Chris Coleman. Chris is a very inspirational artist, not only to myself but to many of my colleagues and anyone else who is fortunate enough to see his works. What I noticed quickly when listening to his … Continue reading Artist Talk: Chris Coleman
Arduino Array Practice
New Media Arduino Array Practice from SlyPork on Vimeo. Below is my code for the array formation shown in the video above. This setup utilizes ten light emitting diodes, five green and five red. Pins 4 through 13 are used and for color coordination, five green jumpers are linked to the green LEDs and five … Continue reading Arduino Array Practice
Sensitive Skin
A wearable device, Sensitive Skin is a device that feels similar to flesh and is full of various sensors. It wraps around one's wrist and has a tumor-like appearance due to it's fleshy outer coating. It can provide the user with heightened senses of temperature, UV, wind, and moisture. As the device starts to sense … Continue reading Sensitive Skin
Automated Unfolding Architectural Cube
An idea I have been considering for awhile. This piece is a wooden cube that, when triggered, will automatically unfold itself into an architectural piece. This project is purely sculptural for now, but the research and applied mechanics may be used in other sculptural objects or for larger sculptures that can be interacted with by … Continue reading Automated Unfolding Architectural Cube
3D Planted Flower Friend (Sensitive Mimosa Pudica)
This project proposal is going in two possible directions. The project and its initial sketches was for a 3D printed plant that grew when light was shined upon it, wilted when it is hot out, grew faster or slower, depending on water levels, and reacted to wind, touch, and sound. When it is no longer … Continue reading 3D Planted Flower Friend (Sensitive Mimosa Pudica)
Sensitive Hexagonal Array Proposal
The concept for this piece is one that encourages viewers to interact with the grid of hexagonal columns. These interactions include clapping, covering the piece, shining light on the piece, blowing on the piece, and waving. Sets of light sensors, wind sensors, motion sensors, and sound sensors provide the viewer with many possible combinations of … Continue reading Sensitive Hexagonal Array Proposal
Video of Telepistomological Themie
First Test: Most Notable Moment First Test: Full Video During the first test of the Telepistomological Themie project, an abundant amount of data was collected. I began my initial test at 5:30am and the video recorded for about 20 minutes. Throughout the 20 minutes, I recorded multiple moments of interaction, primarily sound While observing and … Continue reading Video of Telepistomological Themie
