Check it.

These are the two Max patches used for the Here and There video installation that was in the ITP Winter Show (2008)

For the Mechanisms midterm, I created a zoetrope that used a motor to rotate it. I wanted to make a working model of an idea I have for the final. One idea I had was to use a servo motor to make the zoetrope just go back and forth instead of all the way around. I was thinking to integrate a sensor, but decided against it after coming into some problems.

I finally decided on using an AC driven motor from a small single speed fan. The fan was already wired and had a switch. Unfortunately, as I was soldering extensions for both the switch and plug – I melted TWO switches. I know non-lead solder is safer, but man is it harder to work with.

I was also able to find a wooden bowl and lazy Susan that fit perfectly together.

This time, when you enter your zip code – you get the temperature, weather description, city, corresponding poem, and a corresponding image that I randomly plucked from the web.

It really only works within Processing (for now), but you can get the source code.

When you enter your zip code, you’re supposed to get the temperature, a weather word description, and a corresponding poem depending on the weather.

This is my take on Shiffman’s King Lear example. I use my own poem for the text. Click on the image to link to the working applet & source code.

We had to bring in some electronic device that we could take apart. I have an old Hi-8 camera I found on the junk shelf, so I figured it would be good to hack. A camcoder is crazy complex inside. It wasn’t that simple to take apart and the tape mechanism stayed completely shut through all the dismantling. I can’t imagine losing the power and having an important tape stuck in there. There’s definitely no putting this thing back together.
