Thesis: Quantum Carnival
[ ITP Thesis 2018 Archive Page ] How can I make a difficult subjectâ for example, science– fun and encourage people to explore it further? Step right up, and enter the …
UX Final: Feedback
I don’t know why submitting homework to this class is always so hard for me– because I swear I am not normally one who posts last minute and it feels like having to pull teeth to attempt to write anything. That’s nothing on the quality of the content of the work, just I don’t know. …
Final: The Quantum Carnival
(Images from pixabay.com, photo manipulation by me) The Great Heisenbergâs Quantum Carnival I donât know if itâs always been there. Iâve always remembered the red and white tents on boardwalk every summer, pennants waving with the sea breeze. But when I mentioned it to people, I get mixed responses. That it used to be there, …
Week Five: Prototype!
So continuing the use of my thesis as my interaction, I made my prototype Box of Uncertainty. Little janky, with the breadboard and the Arduino Uno, it will be moved to a Trinket M0, and hopefully an antique looking led bulb in the final trunk itself. I have tried it on the floor partially to …

Base your ideas on your insights into the person you are designing for. Do they like to cook, procrastinate, exercise consistently or spend time with family? What are their work and play habits? What …
Week Three: Leaving Earth– The Pale Blue Dot
Here is my audio narrative. Chopped from pieces of the Apollo 11 Launch that landed us on the moon, Carl Saganâs Cosmos and Pale Blue Dot, some recordings from Voyagerâs Golden Record (Then UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim and a young American child), sounds of Earth from Space, and the audio from 2015â˛s N7 Day video hyping Mass Effect: Andromeda with …
Week Two: Cube Counter
I don’t know why I’ve been having a hard time focusing on this project compared to my others but what I don’t know why. It wasn’t much of a hard task per se but just something had me dragging my feet instead of raring to go. At any case I was mulling over the idea …
Week Two: Her Long Black Hair / Pandora’s Box
So I first experienced this in Sharon’s Video and Sound class back in the start of my time here at ITP. I also had the luxury of it being a warm September day and not a freezing day in February. So I opted to throw it on and listen while I made dinner. More or …
