Sound Wave Geometry
For my initial project in Art 107, I created "Sound Wave Geometry," an interactive p5.js sketch that explores the intersection of sound, angles, and circular symmetry. This piece uses audio input to generate visual patterns based on the interaction of sound frequencies with geometric shapes. The sketch transforms sound waves into visually captivating representations by manipulating angles and circular symmetry.
The design centers around a point where sound waves trigger movements and shifts in circular forms. The angles adjust according to the intensity of the sound, creating dynamic, evolving patterns that reflect the rhythm and amplitude of the audio. The circular symmetry ensures the visual structure remains harmonious, balancing randomness with order.
By blending the mathematical principles of symmetry with sound's organic and unpredictable nature, "Sound Wave Geometry" provides an immersive, interactive experience that invites users to explore the relationship between visual art and audio.
Love Letters.
For my final in my Introduction to Computational Media class at NYU ITP, I wanted to explore Markov chains, so I used RiTa, an open-source library for writing in computational environments. It provides functions for simple language processing and generation tasks without the overhead or complexity of a full NLP stack. RiTa works by analyzing input text and creating probabilistic models that allow it to generate new, contextually relevant paragraphs, creating experimental literature. Over the past few months, I wrote a bunch of letters, and I wanted to use those, along with poems I had written more than five years ago. The code generates a paragraph with 10 sentences. I thought of two characters, Luna and Sun, and I thought in this case, it would fit really well, because I thought Luna and Sun can be compared to Moon and the Sun, and they only meet at an eclipse, and I liked that analogy, and I thought the love letters would make sense here till they meet. A lot of my writing has a lot of physics references, so making Luna a physicist seemed to fit best in this context.
