I have a pretty good idea of what I could end up doing for my thesis project. I want to amplify the bodily expression of the viewers by capturing their movement and projecting an enhanced audiovisual version of it. For this, I will use Machine Learning to recognize expressive movements (not only about emotion of…
arc
arc a simple & small interaction for an expressive instrument Concept I want to create instruments that have a simple easy to use/difficult to master interface. My initial idea involved using subtractive synthesis in a MIDI aspect (more like subtractive composition), but I was struggling with the interaction itself. Amongst my iterations, there was one…
Sequencing all around: space sequencer
An immersive multi-sequencer composition tool (designed for VR!)
me as myself
an exhibition that explores different representations of my persona, trying to uncover who’s the person behind how have I built my identity? how can those parts and events be represented? is there a “final form”?
Accessibility for 3d web graphics
For this assignment I chose to evaluate three.js’ website in terms of accessibility for blind people. Screen reading It was very hard to navigate this website with the screen reader. The structure of iframe is not very friendly with this technology. I found myself very frustrated when trying to move from the sidebar to the…
What is “real” anyway?
When discussing about videogames, avatars and the internet the discussion often declares these spaces as “fake”. By talking about the “real” effects of virtual spaces or trying to establish links between personalities and actions online, some people try to create a division on its value. This rhetoric undermines the worth of virtual spaces, pushing them…
Harmonic Spiral
For this assignment I worked with Max Horwich to combine his knowledge of Tone.js, my knowledge of three.js and both out musical ideas. Following the traditional spiral representation of pitch, we created a 7-note spiral (in C major) that spans across 4 octaves. Users can create patterns by selecting the notes, which are played by…
Neon Dragon
Experiments come together In order to bring together all the content created over the last month, I created a short story teaser. It is a a “teaser”, because the motions I have from the labs are very diverse and not ideal for a continuous play. At the same time, as part of the explorations I…
Particles lost in textures
This week’s assignment was provided a lot of learning and frustrations, but I got around those problems and created a nice synth-based soundscape. While all this experimentation did not let me complete the visuals as I wanted, I’m sure I”ll get around that part later. You can see the code here or play with the…
Physical ghosts and magic
For motion capture, the biggest barrier is the cost. We need expensive or mind-bogglingly expensive equipment in order to get detailed movement data. But this provides amazing opportunities! For the mocap software, un-suited people people are invisible, but can very much still affect the performers: we are ghosts. The magic of post-production I haven’t been…
