The ambiguity of aesthetics . . .
This concept piece was developed using a combination of Pure Data, OSC, Arduino, and a rotary encoder. All components were laser-cut and fabricated in-house.
The project explores the intersection of aesthetics and interaction, with an Arduino-controlled device programmed via Pure Data and OSC. An iPhone functions as a media switcher, enabling the user to toggle between music, video, and different media sources through Bluetooth. The integrated turntables provide a retro touch, allowing users to interact with media much like a vinyl record. The pressure applied and the degree of rotation on the rotary encoder influence how the media is manipulated and augmented in real time.

data for dada
The idea behind “data for dada “ was to show how humans are at the heart of creating data. So, I started my presentation by walking around the room with a piece of string, weaving it between my classmates. When I was done, I said, "We’re all data points," highlighting how connected we all are in the data we create.
What the glitcha
What the Glitcha was developed using Pure Data, where the program manipulates media by adjusting values within the code. These changes create glitches by altering colors and introducing various types of distortions to the media in real-time.
