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
How does the concept relates to the original Phantasmagorias?
How does it relates to publishing?
Why is it worth to make it public?
How can I create a public around it?
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
