PROJECT ANIMATE - Drawing bug

My initial idea was to visualize cockroach’s movement by creating tiny robot that moves by itself to random places. I’m not sure I can call it robot, but basically it is like a tiny robot that runs by 3v battery and motor to generate random movement. Then it draws with mechanical pencil lead on the surface as it moves, and creates abstract drawing.

PROJECT ANIMATE - prototyping

It wasn’t easy to come up with an idea to put an battery on to it since motor is too small, and it only has small surface. first prototype.

PROJECT ANIMATE - Progress

I ordered these solar cells from Sparkfun.com. This little thing can generate up to 4V when it exposed to the sun, but unfortunately it has tooooooo! low current. Thus, I can’t not make this to power up anything, not even single LED. So, I have to go plan B, which I don’t have… lol, or try to connect series of them, and hope it to create enough current to run my tiny motor. ...

PROJECT ANIMATE - ideas

For this project, I like to create a robot! yeah! or booooooo…. It starts from cockroach that i found in my kitchen. (by the way, it’s not me who called these “fuckers” to come to visit my kitchen. it’s from the neighbor!) In the beginning, I hated to seeing and killing these cockroaches, especially at night, when i found them on the way to the washing room. I have...

Electrorheological fluid

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting particles (up to 50 micrometres diameter) in an electrically insulating fluid. The apparent viscosity of these fluids changes reversibly by an order of up to 100,000 in response to an electric field. For example, a typical ER fluid can go from the consistency of a liquid to that of a gel, and back, with response...

PROJECT SWITCH - Coffee cup for blind people

I was obsessed with using coffee as a my switch, and I planed to make one for blind people. Basic idea is that it’s really hard for blind people to know how much water, coffee, or juice they poured into a cup. Since, coffee is hot, it can be very dangerous for the blinds also. Thus, my switch detects the coffee level, since coffee is conductive, and makes alarm sound so blinds can hear!...

Netduino Plus!

The two new Arduinos should spell good things for the Arduino heads out there, but meanwhile, on the other side of the tracks… Secret Labs is launching its .NET-friendly Netduino Plus, which adds Ethernet and microSD to a regular Netduino board (which in itself is a sort of high powered, Visual Studio-compatible Arduino, with a 32-bit 48MHz ARM7 processor, instead of Arduino’s 8-bit...

Final Project Proposal

My first project was about interpreting sound into visual where visual becomes output or result of the sound. For final project, I like expand my first project by using advanced technology, and better interpretation. I named my project as “gesture music” where I can control or generate sound from the movement or gesture. For example, it can create different sound depends on the...

Ineractive Audio / Architecture

[Reading from Brandon Labelle] In this article Labelle explains how sounds, depends on the space its receiving or playing, can have different context and meaning. According to the Labelle he declares this as phenomena when it happens. “Sound as a phenomenon is thus part of space, since it can only exist in a space. We could think of sound as the inner movement of a space, its rising in the...

Project Proposal

Concept I like the sound of water. I like the sound of rainy day, the water running on river, and I love the sound of the ocean. It makes me calm, relax, and let me feel closer to the nature. So for this project I like to record various sound of water. However, I’m interested in how sound changes when space is in the water, and outside of the water. Also, I like to record other nature sound...

SOUND ART by Alan Licht

In this article Alan Licht explains where and how derives ‘sound art’ from originality of sound. It also tries to define what is sound art and what is not. “Sound art, like its godfather experimental music, is indeed between categories, perhaps because its effect on the listener is between categories. It’s not emotional nor is it necessarily intellectual. Music either...

Sound Art

[Readings: John Cage & Murray Schafer.] John Cage: This article is based on John Cage’s view toward sound and music, and how his perception on noise sound enabled him a new level of music. He is know as pioneer of experimental music including chance music, and music with instruments that he created. “New music: new listening. Not an attempt to understand something that is being...

Synesthesia

Synesthesia [Reading from Cretien van Campen] Synesthesia is a term that used to explain when one sense triggers other sense at the same time. For example, one can perceive music into colors, or an image and pattern. Depends on the person’s ability or practice, one can sense and imagine musical sound while looking at the color pattern or image. For example Marcia used her synesthesia in...

Progress for cart345[update]

Yes. Typography is really dead!, at least analogue one for sure. It took 12 straight hours to cut these letters from the paper, and I can feel the pain from my finger and shoulder. errrrrr I will never feel these kinds of pains with digital since I just need to type using my pretty keyboard.(oh, my fingers get fat though…) While I was cutting this, I had to keep ask myself a question for...

Progress for cart345

Finally, I got a chance to use a 3D printer! Thanks to Jhave :) It wasn’t easy for me to get a permission since 3D printer is only allowed for grad student and Hexagram member. Fortunately Jhave is a member of Hexagram, and I could be able to use it through him. (I should have asked earlier… my bad…) So, I brought my 3D file to the lab, and I had to fix a lot of things in order...

flickr tag visualization

http://smilehyun.com/flickr2/ image1 | image2 | image3 It is the next level of flickr visualization1. Since I could not manage to display all the tags, I needed to find the way to visualize all the tags. So, I created spiral and placed into 3D space which has Z index. Thus, I could be able to display all the tags even though they’re huge amount of data. Compare to the first one, it is not...

CART345 Final Project[DB4] Progress

Project proposal : I wanted to create tangible form of typography such as this. However, I need to use 3D printer, which our school has one in Hexagram Lab, in order to create something like this. But, it was complicated to get a permission from them since lab is only open for graduate student. On the other hand, I was having an experiment with augmented reality, and I thought it would...

flickr tag visualization

http://smilehyun.com/flickr It simply reads XML data from flickr API, and searchs all the tag elements in the XML. Since data is too broad, it only searches first day of each month from January to September of 2009. Then, it stores all the tags into array, and compares all the tags. As a result, it displays tags that are taged more than 20 times with bar graph. Bar graph’s height...

The Strengths of Nations_Data visualization

“A sad proportion of “art/science” illustrations are more show than tool, evoking but not helping to explain the phenomena that are supposed to be their subjects. This map and variations on it are a distinct counterpoint: they are used daily as a tool by Dick Klavans to determine such things as which areas of science are most closely connected to one another, are most and least...

Here it is. Like how sound has its energy, words in typography have their energy, and this energy can be expressed through the space while someone types it into computer screen or writes on a paper. This energy has its own property which can describe writer’s feelings, and emotions etc. Moreover, typography travels through time and space by the various mediums like how sounds travels through...
