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?
- don't combine a lot of things together during the conceptual phase
- stay sharp and ask the most critical questions
- Concept
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
