Interactive Works

This page features interactive works and experiments ive designed within Touch Designer

Tools used include Media Pipe, Midi controllers, Playtron Midi and Kinect

Early Experiments

ideas used to later develop into fullly fleshed out interactive pieces

Soul on Display

Interaction is powered by a playtron touch midi controller turning a piece of metal jewlery in the shape of this 3d model into a button controlling parameters such as camera movement, color, etc

Abstraction

Here’s a fun piece made from a @crystaljowart tutorial for @interactiveimmersivehq, inspired by Kandinsky’s style and aesthetic. The tutorial opened up a lot of ideas for how I could translate my own drawing style into TouchDesigner.

Interaction is powered by a midi controller adjust parameters such as shape sizes, x,y coordinates and added post effects

Core Memories

This project is one I made for my 30th birthday. Every photo you see comes from my personal collection of Polaroids taken over the past ten years. I scanned them into my computer and used them in @touchdesigner to create this photo sphere, with the help of @okamirufu.vizualizer. I then made it interactive using the #MediaPipe plugin from @blankensmithing and @domscott.art.

I see this as a way to show and tell memories in a more playful and dynamic way, instead of just swiping through photos on your phone. There are probably even more ways to push this project further and explore more nuanced effects.

Umwelt: Bat

Umwelt: noun; the world as it is experienced by a particular organism

I was excited when I found this word as it is a large part of my philosophy. I’m always thinking of the unique ways we see the world as a species and individual. Also how other species view the world. We allow our thoughts and imagination to be boxed in by our way of perception and forget there’s so many stimuli that can be perceived. Bees see in uv, and know where flower to go to, certain birds can tell gender through uv perception and flowers perceive mainly though aromatic particles to small to see with the naked eye.

This is an experiment into the unwelt of the brown bat which can be found here in Georgia. The visual is a rough imagination of echolocation. So when you make a large enough noise it cause the contour line visual to activate before going back to black. Many more experiments like this are coming
