Basic techniques of Interactive Media module.

Let’s vibrate that loudspeaker with money.

I couldn’t have enough power to allow the vibration of the diaphragm of the speaker as I liked, so the original idea to use the Tone library for Arduino (as Joe Pochciol did instead) didn’t work (in the beginning I was more interested in work with a range of very low (1-20hz) and ultra-high (13000-20000 [...]

On the vibration of salt, the weight of the money and unpleasant square waves.

As I wrote in the previous post, I am interested in experimenting the use of sound for its pure mechanical characteristics. I am totally fascinated in this sense by the works made by (sound) artists as Brandon LaBelle, Stephen Vitiello, and Rolf Julius, and in particular by the use of the speaker as a visual [...]

Coins as interface.

As I couldn’t realize the previous idea that I wrote in the last post, due the fact I was working in France for the realization of the short movie called “L’Archipel” by Giacomo Abbruzzese, I decided to develop that idea in a more complex and experimental way (as investigation, not as an “attribute”). As I [...]

Flour waste (or a simple game for a fan, a force sensor and a nervous cook)

As an assignment for the Physical Computing section as part of the Doing module we should develop a small interactive system based on Arduino which for a physical input gives you back a physical output. After looking on a couple of sensors available in Space 8, I decided to build a small “game” based on [...]

DM8002: Mirrors. Processing as a tool for sketching ideas? (Part ONE)

They are been few days since Mirrors exhibition passed and I noticed that I did not write too much about it. Before writing about what I showed it could be interesting to report some impressions I had during seeing and helping for the Resonator workshop: all that way to talk, organize, collaborate and working actively [...]

Ec)h(oes: Transmission and reflections

The realization of the Echoes project has been done by designing a Max/MSP patch that allowed the users to write a text in a message box and observe a jitter visualization of the notes played by the musical performer located on a different space. The choice to divide the user interface in two parts has [...]

Ec)h(oes: Impulse

Tagging a selfish primordial broth Self-transmission, reflection through different languages. spaces, people, codes and media. Misunderstanding, stereotypes, lost in translation, data-loss and symbolic representations . A kind of forewords For this part of the module of DM8002 I really want to push myself out on things that I didn’t experienced before: sing performance, network-based performance [...]
