I’ve decided to use a force sensor with an LED strip after discussing ultrasonic sensors with Jaymes Dec. I changed the concept of the piece to better represent where I am, as I am approaching a place of transition in my personal life. I do not know what the next stage of growth from ashes looks like in my own body casts because I feel like I am not at that stage yet. I am currently in the stage compiling ashes for a new “bird” to emerge. With that rephrasing of information, I have changed my variables of input (proximity) and output (brightness) to pressure to brightness.
I have been looking at the following videos to learn more about the force sensitive sensor and LED strip lights.

Side Note:
I search for more information about the force sensitive, I found a tutorial on how someone can make a pressure pad, which I know one of the classmates has been looking into that.

Phase 1

I started to begin working with my sculpture  again. I added on to the color palette that translates into the different stages that I have focused on. And I also worked with heat and the fabric I had choose to make sure that I am showing a transition with the fabric.   Short Term Action Plan : I plan to finish heating the fabric and the begin adding paint to the groves of the fabric   Long-term Action Plan : Repeat these processes for the other three stages and begin building my Arduino board using the ultrasonic sensor and lighting again.

Brainstorming

Image
The past week I have brainstormed different ideas based on concepts that I wanted to further extend from other work that I am doing. I want to work more with coding and want to learn a bit more about certain sensors. Below I made a digital mind map to show what I was thinking about.

Brainstorming Materials and Wants

Image
Last spring, I began building my physical computing skills, which I would like to continue to fortify, and have been over that past semesters. I also want to build my coding and code remixing skills through processing. The two projects I have are already linked to how I can build these skills are rich in concepts....  1. Thesis Topic:  Creative Technology and the Ability to Bounce Back from Failure: The Journey of an After-School Program Focusing on Art and Technology Main Concepts: Color coding qualitative and quantitative data to think about it in complex ways using data from the Daily Questionnaire I give my students after each Creative Tech Club Session ( see below) Daily Questionnaire Filled Out by Student Materials   Laptop Lynda.com Downloading Processing 2 .
