Final Project "Dancing Bipedal Robot"

FINAL PROJECT

For my Final Project, I decided to build a Dancing Robot Connected to Twitter. The mission was to set it up to where every time someone tweeted a "Dance" that the Robot would start Shaking a Tail Feather. Due to some technical difficulties, I didnt get that far. I most definitely got it to dancing though. This project I really want to explore something different than what I was used to, and am not yet good with Arduino, just yet.

Reading Wk9 "Coding The Infome: Writing Abstract Reality"

To be honest writing code is just foreign to me, and in a way it is like trying to learn  another laguage. Especially the time it take and it feels as if you would never perfect it in a way, always learning new ways to do things no matter if its more simple than the way you know or more complex. Jevbratt states that code creates the Internet and claims that the Internet's complexity can even be like an organism.  I enjoyed reading this article because in a way it is an organism not because of the coding but the visualizations it creates . It was interestig reading about the many thing Jevbratt created because it help me understand more of how different artist use their techniques to make work.

Reading wk6 "Protocol"

After Readinf this it kind of reminded of the Systems Art class. It really reminded me because of the focus on the technology base but at the same time could be a piece of art at the same time. Also about the system and that is follows different codes and commands. The project being able to think on its own and follow the certain code and protocol created and given and also be in an interactive environment. When it gave the history of coding and to find out that the creation of it is so recent is crazy because it has gotten so advanced. 

Project 3

First try on Processing

Project 2: Social Hacking

For my second Project I decided to do it over one of the biggest apps out right now which is Instagram. My social hacking was over its filters and people liking pictures and once they are liked the filter goes away and shows the original picture.

This is screenshots of the website

 Once you click the link it leads to this page. I know the difference of the pictures are exaggerated but its more of trying to get the point across between the difference in filter and not having one.

You's a Java Turkey

 "Click ok if your can tell jokes, cancel if not" CHOOSE OK

 This is what comes up

 "Click Ok if you can tell jokes" CLICK CANCEL

Week 5 Reading response

"What Relational Aesthetics Can Learn 4Chan"

I found this article very interesting because it said social interaction between people is some type of art. I find it interesting because people do this everyday rather its in person or on a social website. I can see how its looked at some type of art form because everyone has their own way going about things, basically their own personalities and the spontaneity of it happening.

"Sociable Media"

Somthing about social media is that it is always something new and people cant help trying it out. This is interesting to me because no matter what app or technology they come up with the most interesting part is that people always will adapt quickly especially if its for communication.   People are more interested in being able to communicate.

Project 1

For this project i just did a simple fairytale narrative. Jack and Jill Fairy tale which is a well known short story know by im sure everyone as we all probably heard it

1.Jack and Jill went up the Hill

2. To fetch a pail of water

3. Jack Fell Down 

4. Broke his crown

5. And Jill came tumbling after

Week 3 Reading

Database and Symbolic Form

What I think this essay is saying is that everything we use is basically a database or data structures with specific set of rules or algorithms that have a connection with unlimited information and knowledge. Everything is connected and it is up to the user to where it navigates although that it is already a set of rules but no set of navifation. Comparing it to a narrative is a bit crazy though because its already a set of things planned out initially but just isn't in a particular order.


Death of an Arthur

How I took this reading is that everytime you read or interpret someone writings, artworks, or anything that someone has created you look at it in their perspective, the view and you take in consideration of their meaning but when an arthur dies it opens up many ways to view it and you could look at it in your own way. Its like going to a museum and seeing a piece that you are really interested in and trying to figure out its meaning or trying to interpret the work in your own way of doing things without reading the artist/ art description but the artist isnt necessarily dead.

Reading Response one

"The Definition of Hypertext and Its History as a Concept"
I didn't know how much we used Hypertext and hypermedia as much as we do until actually reading the article and how they work reciprocally between links of information and networks. It connects to everything we use on the web like images, text and web pages to another. Its also crazy that its been around since the 60's and didn't know that it was that advanced back then. Knowing it was the best but knowing that everything was connected is kind of surprising.   

"How the internet works"
These were good examples to show how the internet works with the house diagram and its connectivity to the factory. It was also interesting how everything is linked on one channel and what not

"Hyper textual Consciousness"
Also figured that this was pretty cool on how you could change through pages by clicking on links and how it tells you about whatever the category is.
