Tenth Week of Electronics Media

Throughout my Spring Break, aside from relaxing, I took the time to progress on my project. Here is a recollection of what I have done for my project:

On 3/14/25, I constructed the inner shell of the "Conspiracy Hat" and taped the Arduino Uno, the Breadboard, the Potentiometer, and the headphones onto it. This is what it looked like on completion:


I made sure to test it as well, and it is completely functional.

On 3/15/25, I created the outershell of the hat to hide the circuitry and as a protective cover of the circuits to the added tinfoil. Together when combined came out to this:


It's a little bulky but it works for what I am trying to go for. And to ensure it remains functional I tested it with my TouchDesigner code and it still works from what I can gather. I also added some sound files from Antivaxxer footage from YouTube.

This spring break proved to be a very productive week, and I look forward to conducting the critique!

Fourth Week in Interactive Art

Image
We have now finished our 4th Week of Interactive Art. Here is a list of what happened. On 1/27/25, I was able to spend some time and completed Lab 5. Here is some of the notes and footage I recorded while I was performing Lab 5: Notes: What is an Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor (SR04 in kit)? Provides a way of detecting objects at a distance between 2-400 cm Arduino sends a pulse to the sensor's trigger, causing the sensor to send out a burst of ultrasonic sound When the sensor receives the echo, it raises its echo output to a HIGH level Distance it senses is encoded in the length of time that the Echo pin is HIGH What is the DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor? Can provide temperature and humidity information to the Arduino with just one wire What are the LCD Hardware Pins? VSS: Ground (GND) VDD: 5V power for display V0: Contrast adjustment, connected to potentiometer wipers RS: Register select RW: Read/Write pin to select how the Arduino should communicate E: Enable pin (LCD works ...

Second Week in Interactive Art

Image
The second week has officially closed. Here is a collection of all that happened this week in class: On 1/14/25, we went through all 25 sketches for every student. And out of all my sketches, I was able to filter down to these two sketch ideas: For number 24, the idea was loosely based off of brain surgery. It involves the viewer grabbing a needle and poking different parts of the mannequin's brain. And depending on where they poke in the brain, the eyes on the mannequin will show a projection of a video of some sort. For number 25, the piece involves placing a "paper-looking" dunce hat on a pedestal and everytime the audience wears it, it will play audio files of a voice saying terrible stuff about them. Once the discussion concerning our sketches ended, Robert assigned our first lab to do. It involved utilizing a bread board, leds, resistors, and connectors to make the led light up. I was able to finish the lab on the same day, here is a video of that experience: There ...

First Week in Electronic Media

Image
My first week of Interactive Art II: Electronic Objects has ended. Here is a recap of all the things that happened during the week. On the first day, we covered the syllabus which had most of the things that would normally be outlined for every class including University Honor Policy, Attendance, etc. One of the only things that were new for this class would be how its course grading was divided which involved the following: 49 total possible points 1.4 for every Weekly Blog Posts (16 total) 4.7 for every Major Project Critiques (2 total) 9.7 for participation 2.7 for Presentation/Demonstration 4.8 for Contributions to Reading Discussions The other stand out thing also included some of the programs that we were going to be involved with: Arduino - coding program that we will be using to code devices for some of our artworks. Ossia Score - interactive sequencer for audio-visual artists  Discord - the application that will be used for online discussions Blogger - a website used to cr...
