Sound-Image Translation Assignment – Steve Reich "Octet"
For Visual Music Studio, the first assignment for the visual artists was to choose one piece of music from three options and create an original 2D image response/translation/interpretation to the chosen piece of music (no moving-image pieces). I chose Steve Reich’s “Octet”, which you can listen to here: Octet by Steve Reich While listening to [...]

LVMH – Pre-submission is in!
Fellow MFA DT student, Ashley Ahn, and I are working with 3 great Fashion students, Chelsea Mak, Irene Villar, and Roxy Fata, on the LVMH “Made in New York” competition. As part of our pre-submission, I set up a website for all of our materials, and you can check it out here. Be sure to [...]
Instruction Sets for Strangers – Conclusions and Next Steps
1. Strangers will interact in anonymous ways if the methods are recognizable and appealing to them. Strangers are more likely to reveal personal expressions if the methods are anonymous in fashion. This was very clear in our different styles of probes and instruction sets done in Bryant Park. Our first set, which were pre-addressed and [...]
Instruction Sets for Strangers – Third Prototype – Results and Feedback
On November 3rd (Tuesday), we handed out 100 copies of our new postcard prototype. At this point, we have received information in regards to one of our questions, which was “Will people investigate the website?”. Since handing out the postcards that provided the “OurBryantPark.org” web address, we have had 20 visits to the website, with [...]
ISD17240 IC Voice Record/Play
Manuel and I worked together to build out the ISD17240 IC Voice Record/Play Chip on our breadboard. We used Example #1 (page 78) from the data sheet which made use of a microphone and push-buttons. Here is a video demonstration of the finished project:

Arduino Serial Communication with Processing
Manuel and I worked together to attach the Arduino chip in the Breadboard to the Breakout board. We were working with a 3.3V chip (FT232R), so we had to break the soldered link between 3.3VCC and VCC on the top of the chip. We then put code on our Arduino chip to provide serial data [...]
Instruction Sets for Strangers – Third Prototype – Preparations
First we added Google Analytics and a additional plug-in to our website which tracks the visitors. We will know when they accessed the site, and we’re tracking where they are accessing it from (by IP address). We also added new posts to our website to illustrate the projects that have been done in the park [...]
Instruction Sets for Strangers – Third Prototype – Precedence and Plans
For this prototype, we wanted to explore a 2nd version of our Postcard object. In the previous version, we presented a questionnaire with text instructions. The stamp and address were affordances which indicated to people they could drop their responses in the mailbox. In this example, we wanted to explore more possibilities with instructions using [...]
