[UPDATED WITH BETTER SCREENSHOTS]
I used a sketch Joshua and I put together for a previous assignment as a base for this.
My intention was to mount an accelerometer in a way that would allow for a wearable controller. Hopefully in the future I will load this program onto a Lillypad. I also need to calibrate the [...]
As the weather starts to get chillier, I find myself riding the bus more often. I live at the edge of Ft. Greene in Brooklyn, closest to the G Train. If you know anything about the G, you know you’re better off not riding it at all, for any reason. When I first moved to [...]

I found this reading interesting because I have done a lot of thinking over the years, as I develop my own work, about the concept of aura. To me, aura is a physical experience–a feeling you recognize when you feel it but are generally unable to describe, and Walter Benjamin seems to agree on this [...]
