WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Thesis Research
- Diving deep into Media Archaeology of Hearing and Seeing
- Trying to understand the mysterious world of Phantasmagorias
Thesis
Graduation Project
Prototyping
- Learned about circuits
- Setting up an Arduino + Adafruit Neopixel RGB LED strip
- Experiments with lenses and light beams
- Building a circuit for 4 Adafruit Neopixel LED strips
- Building a software setup to connect live MadMapper input to 4 Adafruit Neopixel LED strips
- Experimenting with Jem Compact Hazer Pro (haze machine) + plano convex lenses + 4 Adafruit Neopixel LED strips
- Experimenting with Jem Compact Hazer Pro (haze machine) + opaque acrylic sheets + 4 Adafruit Neopixel LED strips
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?
- Prototyping
- Basics into Arduino / Processing / MadMapper
- The importance of the right hardware
- Finding a good prototyping working method → Dark Lab in the basement
- Reflects always on the experiments and try to find new solutions
- Trust in failures → gives new ways of critical thinking
- Take time to experience the experiments → look from different angles
- One experiment leads to the next experiment → you can't jump a few steps ahead
- Having discipline for learning new programming languages and hardware
- Concept
- Don't make overambitious plans, that you're not capable to realise due technical, practical and financial issues
- Don't combine too many references together
- Stay sharp to yourself and ask the critical questions
- Finding a good link of combining the research + concept with the prototyping to crystallise the story
- Trust your first intuition during the conceptualisation phase of the project
- Better time planning (calendar) of the project - to do lists
WHAT DID I ACHIEVED FROM MY 1ST + 2ND + 3RD TRIMESTER WISHLIST?
WHERE DO I WANT TO GO?
- learning more how to think in code and realise my ideas
- Developing a deeper understanding of sound visualisation
- learning pure data + GEM (Graphics Environment for Multimedia (external plugin))
- creating audiovisual light installations
WHY?
- graduation project next year → live generated 3D environments ↔ audio visualisation (sound = data → data visualisation)
- creative coding, light - space installations, audiovisual performances delivered from a strong conceptual and technical (software - creative coding) foundation
