Lines at play…

I have finally manage to take some time off to pick up processing again.  Its been ages since I’ve wanted to do this and finally I did.  Bravo Jonning!

Essentially, I had been introduced to processing just about a year ago and I am really still a noob with it.  With no programming knowledge, it was quite a struggle for me to understand the bits and pieces of codes, and how everything fit together.  I have always been intrigued by generative art and since I needed a little motivation to pull myself through this self learning phase, I decided to try creating some myself.  Simple stuff.  Enjoy!

(oh… i actually made them as desktop wallpapers… feel free to drop me msg if you want some)

DREAMfreq! // final prototype

This is my final prototype, which will be showing part of the interactions in my concept.  I prototyped using processing with arduino to simulate the tuning of colours through the sliding action.  I hacked an optical mouse and used it to track movements along the X-axis.  Using processing, I was able to translate the the position of the mouse cursor, into values that were able to change the RGB LEDs accordingly.

I’ve also fitted a mini speaker within the lamp to have sounds playing from within the lamp, and the sliding movements of the lamp will also trigger a fast-forward in the audio clip.  This is to simulate the tuning of the sound recordings when you tune the colours.

This is a video of my prototype at the graduation exhibition.  It is showing the tuning of colours thru the sliding movement of the lamp.
