Project – 02: Variable Faces – [OLD FALL 2020] 15-104 • Introduction to Computing for Creative Practice

My week could be described with this emoji: 🤡, so I decided to lock myself in my apartment to code this as a coping mechanism.
I thought it was interesting that clowns are interpreted very differently depending on their context and appearance. I decided to take advantage of this project to demonstrate the unsettling feeling they give me. I was surprised to see that the incremental changes in color and size of the clown’s features actually increased the cursed factor significantly.
