This week I reworked my Light & Time project by changing the look and feel of the bracelet. I decided that the first iteration’s remote Arduino and battery pack would not be so convenient or stylish, so this time I am using a Lilypad Arduino and accessories. The Lilypad Arduino is small and powerful, and […]

PComp Final Ideas
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For this week’s Physical Computing homework, we were to come up with ideas for our final projects. The first part of the final is to create the finished version of our Light and Time project (view posts here, here, and here). Here is the proposal presentation I put together. The second part of the final […]

Saussure & Semiotics presentation
By Tami in Fall 2010, Major Studio: InterfaceBelow is a presentation I put together for Major Studio to explain the contributions of Swiss Linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and his idea of Semiotics. When I studied Linguistics as an undergrad, I learned about structuralism, which is just another signifier of the same signified that semiotics represents (confused yet?). It was interesting for me […]

iSfS #2 Preview
By Tami in Fall 2010, Major Studio: InterfaceJust because I’m really pumped about our second Instruction Sets for Strangers project, Changing Landscape, here are a few pictures to show what Thom, Will, and I have been working on. A full post along with our finished project will be up in a few days. Enjoy!

Visit to High Line Park
By Tami in Fall 2010, Major Studio: InterfaceAfter class on Monday, Thom, Will, and I visited High Line Park to see Richard Galpin’s Viewing Station. This public art piece is located on the High Line between 17th and 18th Streets. Here are some photos of the piece, as well as some of the other beautiful scenes from the park. A view of […]

Light/Time Iterations
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Look/Feel Iterations: Leather bracelet I wanted to see what a different material would look like for the bracelet. I decided a flatter, more normal looking bracelet would make this piece look like any other piece of jewelry one might decide to wear normally. The leather achieves this, and I am pleased that it has a […]

Gestural Movement Project
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1For our Physical Computing homework this week, we were tasked with creating a project that showed gesture using a Servo Motor. Lara and I teamed up and combined our servo-skills and hardware. Inspired by Arthur Ganson‘s work, we decided to create a butterfly whose wings would flap gracefully. We started by coding our motors to […]

PComp HW #6
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1This week’s assignment was to work with an Infrared (IR) sensor, read the data coming into it, and linearize that data. I worked collaboratively with Oylum Boran, Liz Kauff, and Adam Scher. We began by simply connecting the IR sensor to the Arduino and using simple analogRead and Serial.print commands to see how the sensor […]

What I made today in PComp
By Tami in Fall 2010, Physical Computing 1Today was transistor day in Physical Computing. Well, not exactly, but we did learn a lot about transistors. Below are the lessons/projects we worked on in class. 1. We each made a circuit with two LEDs & one button, powered by a 9 volt battery. When one LED is lit, the other is dark. When […]
