Module 3

Final module and project involving objects, relation to the self, &c.

Activity 1

Using the article/activity given in this week to make my own abstract data portrait. Data portrait stuff now put in the 2D p5.js code. Didn't figure out how to make stuff not centered at this time, so they all just rotate when your head is tilted. More playing around, showing some stuff revealing/hiding based on your head tilt. More playing around. 12 pure silver coins, representing the ~$120 I generally always have at least at the time of making this. 5 80% silver coins, representing the ~$50 I generally spend on non-groceries stuff per week. I put the two images in the 2D p5.js activity as an interactive selfie-data portrait. Had the ring of coins turn more drastically when my head was tilted. Another angle. My battery useage on my phone. The next few pics are numbers, line graphs, etc., from the data my phone collected about me. Bar graph of my sleep, not totally accurate but its the best dataset that already existed that I had. Bar graph of my steps. More of my steps. The line from the line graph of my investments. A seperate account I had for some savings. My recent transactions. Some of my investments. My McDonalds points. My screentime generally. Close up of my screentime and what categories of apps were used. The actual coin(s) I was thinking of using for this. Close up of one coin. The raw full silver coin asset. The raw 80% silver coin asset.

Activity 2

Taking my brush pen scan into Meshmixer. Flipping it around. Close up, showing that it wasn't really the best scan in terms of how accurate it is (regarding the form of the pen). Trying to fix an alternate scan of my brushpen. Meshmixer isn't 100% the best at fixing models to be honest... My headphones scan, not the best but at the time I thought Meshmixer could probably fix it up. The underside of it. Meshmixer kept on freezing when I tried to fix my headphones scan, with this being all I would see. A barely fixed headphones scan. The scan of my computer mouse, didn't really work. At some point I just gave up and decided to bring everything into C4D to try to fix it manually. Whenever I brought any model from Meshmixer to C4D it would render it as something super small. Tried to make it more visible to me by putting in a 'floor'. Ended up just scaling everything up in order to make fixing it actually somewhat do-able. Still a lot of polygons, even after I did a polygon reduction. Rendering, after a while I just decided to move on to my mouse. Polygonal hell. Polygonal reduction that... honestly didn't really do much in terms of helping me. Doing the fixes manually was AGONY. Even worse since there was a gaping hole in the mouse. The last time the renderer worked for me this night. You'd think a gaming laptop would be able to handle something like this, wouldn't you? Fun! For some reason any time I zoomed in on any scanned model, it would 'hide' the closest parts to the camera. This 'hiding' thing is REALLY not helpful. Perfect encapsulation of how this activity went for me, lol.

Reflexive Workshop 1 & 2

Notes made by me and my group regarding Reflexive Research - originally we had a different article but it was really hard to understand. My part of the slides we made, with my take on Reflexive Research. The 'selfie' made for this workshop.

Project 3

Final Project 3 Design

I went with the p5.js selfie option, a demo would happen in-class and a video OR zipped file should be provided with the submission.
