A comparison of the Top 15 Most Hashtagged Food on Instagram versus its availability on restaurants in New York based on its Yelp search results. This chart is basically comparing the popularity versus its availability aspect.
Read More…A visualization based on delicious.com (formerly del.icio.us) tags that shows the trends and interests of students looking for the word “innovation” over specific time period (2007 - early 2015).
Read More…I found animation by code as something really fascinating. How we can manipulate particles and give them 'life' by playing around with parameters such as emitter radius, velocity, lifetime, rotating angle, and many kinds of forces, spinning and damping (friction).
Read More…I've always enjoyed creating projects based on my interest, especially when it comes to food. I remember there was this one time I had a deadline to present a new 2-week project for Major Studio, and I had sudden cravings of NYC pizza. You know, just that plain classic cheese slice that just got out of the brick oven, its size so big you have to eat it like the locals: by folding it half-way so it's easier to eat and also to prevent all the yummy oily drips from getting out of place. Guys, the pizzas in NYC are serious business. If you live in NYC without ever exploring its pizza scheme, someday it will probably be your biggest regret when you're leaving this city.
Read More…I never thought that less than 30 lines of code could result in something so beautiful like this. One of the reasons I love openFrameworks for generative art and animation like this. In this exercise I was just playing around with sine wave modulation with multiple elements. Code available on my Github page!
Read More…In Your Face is a physical installation that explores the relationship between human — our body, mind, and soul — and reflective surfaces such as glass, screens and mirrors. It is a two-way mirror projection in form of a 12’’ x 12’’ transparent box that enables people to see themselves in different kinds of 3D virtual avatars.
Read More…My final project for the "Future Gadgets" class is what I called “FUTUNE”, and the storyboard concept is as follows:
The year is 2084, we’ve discovered the wormhole (Einstein-Rosen bridge) that connects us to another world. This world is actually our world but in the future (see wormhome diagram below). We are trying to find ways to communicate with our future selves through this wormhole. We start looking for signs from the universe. ...
Read More…For my CCLAB OpenFrameworks Final, I wanted to make something with similar concept as my previous Arduino project. So I'm exploring how to make Sound Visualizer in OpenFrameworks using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) library and a couple of other addons. Here's what I've got so far:
Read More…For my CCLAB Arduino Final we have to make something that has both input, output, and also inject some personality into it. So I made this music visualizer that will show smiley face as long as the music is not too loud, and gives annoyed face whenever the surrounding music is too loud.
Read More…We wanted to create a way for people to be able to interact from beyond the grave. We have made a physical object that embodies an individual’s personality (through their cyberself) and is able to interact with the living after their death.
Read More…So we've had this two-week long “Extended 7x7 Project” for Major Studio 1 and I decided to continue working on my old red, landline phone. The main objective of this project was to do a physical exploration of an antiquated object and see how we could reuse the same components to create or invent something new. In other words, it is also known as the act of repurposing an object.
Read More…Last week I played around with Spotify Web API and made something really simple: Music Explorer. Just type any artist, album, or songs in the search box and it will display relevant results depending on the query. When you click on each tile it will play a 30-second preview of related song. You can also click the 'Play on Spotify' button and it will launch the Spotify web player on a new window.
