At Red Burn’s class on Tuesday October 27, a hundred something students from class of 2010 made a collaborative horror movie called “28 Minutes Later”. It was organized by a group 13 & 14, who assigned each student to a certain group of 10-15 people, and asked each group to come up with either audio or video piece depending on the task allocated within 20 minutes.

For the weekly reading homework for Communications Lab at ITP, I read chapter one and two from “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man” by Marshall McLuhan. I should say that this was a delightful read. The book was published in 1964, but I thought McLuhan’s concepts of “medium is the message” and the differences between “hot and cool media” were very much so true in today’s media landscape.
It's "PIN-US", two distinct words with hyphen.
As the 2-week long midterm project for Intro to Physical Computing(pcomp) at ITP, I’ve teamed up with a pcomp genius Mike and creative wizkid Diana to develop a 3D visualization tool for multiple people communicating through online chatting or remote locations.
Making of HAIR CARE
I teamed up with Jorge to develop a stop motion sequence as the weekly homework for Communications Lab at ITP. We were brainstorming for the concept and idea, and we happened to find a bunch of wires, clothes, colored strings and several plastic sheets with words like “BODY CARE” and “HAIR CARE”. We liked what we found, and decided to use “hair salon” as our theme to create the narrative.
Concept: “HAIR CARE” – At this special ITP hair salon, customers will be offered special hair care treatment with new hair styles using various materials found at a junk shelf. You don’t know what happens to your hair…! Read more
"Onigiri" rice ball
Last week I came across this cute Onigiri (it’s a Japanese rice ball called Onigiri, but they somehow call this “triangle sushi wrap”) package at Whole Foods when I went to buy lunch. It has shrimp tempura in it, wrapped with vinegar-rice and Nori seaweed sheet. At my first sight I loved the design that I bought it with my salad, but the taste was aweful because it used vinegar-rice instead of regular white rice. So this was a case where design got better than the contents (taste), but I liked the look of it anyway.
Breadboard w/ 2 analog pins(potentiometers) and 1 digital pin (switch)
For Physical Computing class at ITP this week, I did and exercise for studying multiple serial output with Processing and Arduino based on ITP’s instruction page.
The objective of this exercise was to have analog pins and digital switch control the location and movement of something drawn in Processing screen. I
So my structure has two analog sensors (used potentiometers due to the material availability) to analog pins 0 and 1, and a digital switch to digital pin 2 as shown in the photo.
My concept sketch
For the midterm for Physical Computing class, I am making a remote 3D model visualizer together with Diana and Mike.
