My self directed research for this trimester has started out sporadic and experimental oriented. Hand in hand with the prototyping lessons/tutorials I've conducted multiple experiments exploring basic JavaScripting.
In following link you'll find the entire collection of this Free-as-in-beer-time.
Since there's a strong overlap between the prototyping-lessions and my self-directed research i'll present same projects here. Examples of experiments:
1) The canvas-crawler
A canvas-script which allows a rectangle to change position on the canvas trough a fixed time-interval. The rectangle moves in one of four directions (up,left,down,right), while leaving behind a 'trace' of rectangles. Also I applied a function which changes the color of the rectangles (from blue to pink) over time.

2) Frame-drawing
A script placing an image in the cursor-position of a HTML-window when the user click-and-drags the mouse. While not being fixed, the image changes trough an array of images on the click-and-drag-function, thereby letting the user draw frames of a, once, video-clip.

3) Infinite Translation.
A digitalization of a former physical and manually done project. A sentence, here english, is translated trough all available languages of Microsoft Bing translate-service. The sentence is therefore translated from english to español to estonian and so fourth, eventually 'looping' back to english. During each translation the original sentence is slowly morphed and often changes totally meaning.

The Crowd
Besides the visual and experimental approach I've applied to my self directed research, I've also started to explore a specific topic in a more specific sense.
