PComp, Wk 8: Final Project Ideas
I can’t say that I have anything concrete in mind for a final project. No sketches or drawings to speak of and try as I might…I can’t picture what I want to do. Part of it comes from a frustration … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 7: Midterm
This post is essentially a reconstruction of the notes that I took throughout the development process of our midterm, with some documentation photos/videos thrown in. Our initial idea was to design an experience that used tactile materials, thinking about how … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 8: Vid/Sound
This week, I wanted to continue visualizing these “ethereal” elements of technology. I’ve been thinking a lot about how technology takes us out of the present, almost like it transports us into another realm. Using our phones, we’re in a … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 7: Data
So, I’ve been eager to play with data. But I’ll be honest, I didn’t imagine the magnitude to how difficult it is to find/work with certain sets of data. I guess this got me thinking about the nature of “Big … Continue reading
PComp, Wk 6: Application

One thing I really appreciated about doing these labs was how they illuminated small bits of code that we’ve been using since the beginning, but honestly I had no idea what exactly it all meant (re: 9600 bauds, especially). Now … Continue reading

DOM. Where once I was found, now I’m lost…again. Slightly? I mean, conceptually I get a DOM. I also got Marc to explain it a bit more in depth, which was super helpful…conceptually. I read the chapter in Getting Started … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 4.5: Synthesis Lab
Almost forgot! The Synthesis Lab! On the whole, I enjoyed the synthesis lab last Friday. I liked the fun-spirited nature of what had previously seemed a quite-daunting task: connecting our arduinos to communciate with p5.js. In PComp last Thursday, Benedetta … Continue reading
ICM, Wk 5: Got My Grid
I really wanted to get this Sol LeWitt grid down this week. It was killing me. I knew it involved nested loops and some form of multiplication…but I couldn’t figure out when I need nested for loops and exactly where … Continue reading
