“light” accessory

On your wrist, easy on – easy light. A bracelet that can illuminate a keyhole or show how cool your dance moves are. And also my first soft circuit assignment for this class.

New Storytelling Platforms

Starting the task of creating an open cinematic creation tool, where you can manipulate the elements on a scene and everything gets saved and loaded online, I decided to go ahead and use three.js. It is a package I’m very comfortable with, so step was not that much of a stretch.

Draconian anxiety poems

This week’s assignment is creating a poetic form using tracery. I wanted to use this assignment as an exploration of my anxieties, of my fears, of the eternal presence of them in my life.

(c)Sound rendering

Csound is extremely interesting. It is from 1984, where the constraints of computing power required a paradigm less demanding than real-time audio processing. Instead, a csound file has to be rendered before hearing the final result. (Though, modern computers can do it real-time just fine.) But this brings some clear advantages. You can build a…

Collaboration and Idea “m e e t _ ” is a collaboration between Roland Arnoldt and Nicolás Escarpentier. After a deep cross analysis of our past works, we…

Computer-aided poetry
