3D modeling for me, goes way back to somewhere around 1990 with Lightwave 3D on an Amiga 2000. While that sounds like I’m some sort of pro, I didn’t say I was good at using it. I played around with it every so often, but I never really got anything good out of it. Most [...]

Day ONE– Linkage Prototyping After a trip to the toy store, and a good amount of time looking at linkage games online, I decided to make my own linkage prototype system. It consists of a medium gage wire, machine screws, and screw caps. I bend each wire segment at the ends as close to a [...]

Growing up in farmtown Ohio I was completely spoiled by having plenty of wide open space to garden in.  I remember meticulously planning my gardens on graph paper all winter waiting for that last frost to start a new growing season.  When I moved to the city I had to give all that up but last summer [...]

Yesterday, for day 1, I organized a trip up to the Retro Arcade Museum in Beacon, NY. The museum is filled with arcade cabinets from the 60s and 70s, most of which are electromechanical rather than digital. Together they form a kind of encyclopedia of a lost age of engineering where a vast literature of [...]

Saturday Greg led a small ITPlatoon to the Retro Arcade Museum in Beacon, NY, and documented it for the ITP Spring Break 4-in-4. I documented Greg. Here is a list of the conversations we had on the 1-hour, 20-minute train ride going up, followed by those on the train coming back: Going Up: Missing the [...]

On the first day of christmas… well, I’ve never really played around with this sort of stuff so I decided to make a simple visualization of weather temperature and wind data using Processing. You can plug any image into this sketch. Just remmeber to change the width and height values. (Also, it plays nicer with [...]

My girlfriend and I disregarded the terrible storm and our general illness and trooped it over to the Whitney Museum.  There were many exhibits.  Some were terrible. Some were amazing.  Here were my 3 favorites: 1.  Watermelon Woman – Cheryl Dunye I was captivated by this piece.  The piece included a large collection of photos [...]

According to ITPedia, my Day 1 project was “something with CV.”  And that is what I did.  My first idea was to make a yawn tracker, so it was time to hit up the code. Having never done anything with computer vision before, I didn’t know exactly where to start.  I figured I’d start with [...]

Zoe F here,  having spent all day working on Sundays and Thursdays! It’s a comic I’ve been doing on and off for a couple years, but this is a little mini 6-page story that’s not part of the main storyline.  Today:  Penciling finished, inking started.  I’d wanted to finish the inking as well, but it [...]

I was invited to participate for a day in the 5-in-5 Challenge, a competition to complete a creative project every day for five straight days. The 5-in-5 Challenge takes place at the Interactive Telecommunications Program, a Master’s program at New York University. If I could go back in time, I would be seriously tempted to [...]

OK. I couldn’t let this go. Thanks to all who contributed (tried to) yesterday. Unfortunately, I was forced to take a different technical approach and, in frustration, made some hasty deletions. BUT!! We’re up and running, so please leave your cheers for people trying to use the toilet by calling 212.796.0729 ext 181. Here’s what [...]

It seems not all that long ago that most of us had little idea about our exact locations on the planet the majority of our days. Many of us who used to be content wandering city streets, now instead poke away at our IPhones for constant direction and advice. It is nearly impossible to navigate [...]
