For my final project, I really wanted to work with text and explore alternate ways of moving through a poem. I chose to focus on one of my favorite poets, pablo neruda, and chose his poem, Ode to Things, as it has a lot of beauty to it.

I created an interactive star generator as a simulation for the design project, “Tesla’s Sunlit Night”. The concept is that people entering this brand pop-up shop will be able to interactive the inner walls the way this visualization allows the audience to. The only major difference in the interaction would be the clicks translated as touches.

It is meant to emphasize through experience what Tesla’s solar energy products can do. The reason this pop up is called, “Sunlit Night” is because the experience of creating stars in the dark ceiling , representing the night sky will be powered by the solar energy.

To interact, just click anywhere on the screen. The longer you hold, it will increase in size. I wanted to push further in the growth of star and how each differ in their appearance, but it was computationally too expensive, and could not be realized.

Kristine and I created 2 interactive stories from the Bible since Christianity is something that we really value. We decided to create this as a method to teach children about the Bible while also letting them have fun.

Kristine worked on the “Feeding the 5000” story while I worked on the “Noah’s Ark” story. We met together throughout the week to make sure our two programs connected and worked smoothly which took the most time. I also took charge of securing of online images and creating the image arrays since I was working on the more image heavy portion and Kristine in turn worked on the menu screen and the character movement as well. We divided the work very evenly and made sure to consult with each other if we had problems or didn’t know how to do something.

The only thing you might need to know to play our game is to make sure to  completely go to the end of the path to the end of canvas width, since it goes to the next screen automatically once the character gets to the end.

We had so much fun creating this project!

For this project, I recreated Howl’s door in the animation film, Howl’s Moving Castle. In this movie, the door leads to different countries/places based on the color the pointer is at (wheel). In order to see where this door can lead you to, you click anywhere inside the wheel. As the color the pointer is pointing at in the wheel changes, the background changes. 

Blue – flower field 

Green – palace 

Red – Sophie’s hometown (train)

Black – a war scene 

 

A scene from Howl’s Moving Castle. This was my inspiration.

In this project, we aim to establish an interactive universe made possible by using the P5 3D geometry and 3D lighting. When you are hovering around in this universe, the stars and planets will move according to your mouse position. When you lower the mouse position, the screen will be zoomed out and when you higher the mouse, the screen will zoom in more.  When the mouse is pressed, new “stars” which look like the colorful spheres composed of smaller spheres with galaxy-like explosion will happen randomly on the screen and would expand further until they can be seen no more. However, once you click on the screen, you will be able to see them again. The small spheres are glowing on the background to have an interstellar appearance. The center spindle-like sphere and an “Earth” like sphere are created to give us a general understanding of what perspective we are looking at the canvas.

I looked at two people’s projects, Hannah Cai (2018 Fall) and Supawat Vitoorapakorn (2017 Fall). Hannah created an experience where you can select stars and connect them with different shapes, while Supawat created an environment to test out the process of evolution.

Above is Supawat’s evolution simulation

Above is Hannah’s interactive constellation

What I find very interesting in these two people’s projects is that they took completely different routes about what they want to convey. Hannah created a visually pleasing interaction while Supawat created a highly data-based visualization of constantly morphing information.

I wonder if I can take the middle ground of balance between these two.

I am currently making a space for an experience for people to feel wonder and playfulness by creating stars shooting them into the night sky. Below is the sketch. The touch screen part will be substituted with the clicking motion and I want to create additive features that are activated in various conditions in relation to distance between different stars and their locations.

sketch of the text changing placement over time / pages
Drawing of website in which the generative text is contained

For this final project, I would really like to work with generative text. I am interested in working with books that are already in the public domain, and instead of using my program to generate new text or rearrange old text, I want to use my program to specify where the letters should exist on the page. I would like the letter placement to reflect ecological data on the rising temperatures due to the climate crisis. I would like to create a reconstruction of a cultural artifact / book where ever page signifies another year into the future, and the letters y placement slowly increases according to the amount of degrees the temperature in the place that book was written will rise. I am interested in the fragility of human existence and human culture, and how all of human memory and collective history is threatened by the climate crisis.. I want to display this vulnerability with this modified version of a book.

For my final project, I want to create generative placement of text letters based on data received from the projected temperature rise from different areas around the world. The data from the specific place which the classic book is from its fed into a program which determines its placement for each page of the book. Each page represents moving forward one year.

I was having trouble finding other artists who have worked with APIs to generate the placement of text, but I did find two artists whose work is of interest to me and relevant to my final project. The first is Georg Nees, who was an early pioneer of generative art. His piece, Gravel, provides a sort of visualization of the progressive instability I am envisioning for this work.

Gravel, by Georg Nees

Bleed, a design consulting firm also has some projects that involve generative text and processes based within nature that are interesting to me and relevant to my work. For example, as quoted in the Its Nice That article, “Bleed took the Albert Einstein quote “look deeper into nature, and you will understand everything better,” as a concept but also a tool so that every time a character from the sentence is typed, a sphere is formed using a certain amount of triangles.”

I am interested in how the movement and placement of typography could be conceptually linked to broader ideas of nature.
