Really pumped about ofxGifEncoder. I’m experimenting with it for an upcoming project, which I’ll post more about soon. For now, enjoy this one!

IP assignment #2
By Tami in Interactive Prototyping, Spring 2012Brian Putz and I created the following two musical interface prototypes.
The first is a flat interface where placing six blocks on it triggers the playing of each track. For now, two potentiometers control the volume and pan of the tracks.

The second is a Thom Yorke voodoo doll. By squeezing various parts of the doll, each track is switched on/off. Squeezing the neck (or vocal chords) of Mr. Yorke helps him sing by controlling the volume. Turning his microphone from left to right adjusts the pan.

IP assignment #1
By Tami in Interactive Prototyping, Spring 2012Embed an analog object with any number of technical abilities and produce a 2 minute video illustrating and conveying your object and ecosystem.
escribo is a system of drawing and writing tools designed to extend the traditional pen to paper experience to tablet devices through seamless transition from paper to screen. escribo can also be networked to analyze writing and communicate with online tools for greater efficiency.

Fall 2011 Recap
By Tami in Algorithmic Animation, Databases, Fall 2011, ThesisI dropped the ball on keeping this blog updated last semester, so incase you haven’t checked out my portfolio website or thesis blog, here is a recap of some of my work.
Algorithmic Animation
algo is an advanced programming class taught by Zachary Lieberman at Parsons School of Design whose focus is the development of strategies for creating interesting, compelling and life-like animation using code. Documentation from the entire semester can be found on this page and the class website here.
Databases
Through the course of the semester we looked at a variety of different platforms designed to aid in helping computers remember things. Some projects (that made it to the interwebs):
- How do I walk there? – Google maps API + JSON data storing
- Flickr Photos Locator – Google maps API + Flickr API + jQuery
- battle of the 90’s boy bands (midterm project) – Javascript game + MongoDB (database not currently supported :-/)
Thesis
My thesis research, process, and project is well documented on my thesis blog and my final proposal documentations can be found here.

Algo Homework 3
By Tami in Algorithmic Animation, Fall 2011Tribute
Make a composition using the animation techniques that is a tribute to John Whitney.
I am including two different versions of the same code, where one keeps track of more points. I cannot decide which composition I like better, as they both create wild, organic patterns that are interesting to watch for a long time.

Algo homework 2
By Tami in Algorithmic Animation, Fall 2011Animation Experiment
Based on the work of Robin Rhode, make an animation with still images. If you can, cross fade between them. Can you tell a story with just a few frames? Think especially of using people and or mixing scales. Do not doctor the images, and keep the camera stationary.

Best Scene in Town
By Tami in Best Scene in TownThis summer I worked on a project concept for the Best Scene in Town challenge with Jonathan Baldwin, Alex Gekker, and Hirumi Nanayakkara. From the official contest site: ‘Best Scene in Town’ is a mobile design challenge that explores how we can interact with the city through our mobile phones. In ‘Best Scene in Town’ student teams enter a series of hands-on creative sessions to design, develop and ultimately pilot their mobile concepts for a live audience with the 7scenes platform.
We found out late last week that our team won the challenge and we will be heading to Amsterdam in a little over a week to present and pilot our concept. Below is a description of our proposed project, but make sure to take a look at the full proposal on the BSIT website.

First Day of hackNY
By Tami in hackNYalternate title: What I am doing with my summer vacation.
+ 
My first day of my summer internship was by far the most epic first day I have ever had. Ever.
Through my summer fellowship with hackNY, I was paired to work at BankSimple, a NYC tech startup redefining personal banking. My first day of work landed on a Friday, and I showed up to the Brooklyn office at 10am (the latest I have ever been able to show up for a job), ready to go. I spent the day getting to know everyone and learning about the project on which I would start working on Monday, but mostly chatting and scheming with my “mentor”, Allen.

MFA D+T Thesis on Engadget!
By Tami in Spring 2011A number of MFA D+T thesis projects have been getting great press from tech blogs. Matt Ruby‘s Alt Ctrl made it to CreativeApplications, as did my fellow first years’ project Hypertext Remix, and Dong Yoon Park‘s Typography Insight made it to Gizmodo. Most exciting is Burcum Turkmen and Katie Koepfinger’s Emoti-Bots‘s coverage on Engadget! That’s basically like winning a grammy in MFA D+T. I am so happy for the girls because the project is awesome, but I am also excited that I was part of it (well, as a model at least ;)).

Parsons Festival and Thesis Show
By Tami in Spring 2011While I don’t think anyone actually reads this blog (other than my father, what up dad?!), I think it is important to document my time at Parsons for myself and posterity.
For a little over a week now, Parsons has been hosting the first ever Parsons Festival to showcase all of the design programs and many of their students’ semester and year-long projects. The MFA D+T Thesis show is one of the main events of the Festival. If you are in NYC, it is definitely worth stopping by Kellen Gallery at 2 West 13th Street before May 23 to see all of the exhibited thesis projects. If you cannot make it in person, the show’s website is pretty stellar, too. This past weekend was the Thesis symposium, a series of presentations and discussions by graduating thesis students and prominent faculty and industry professionals. The talks were interesting and inspiring, and can even be viewed here.
