What if … I finally documented my creative coding work from last semester

I’ve been enjoying a very long and fun break since the ITP show (more on that later) but now I’m aboutto start another semester! I can’t wait to start working on some new projects, but I still haven’t shown some of my work from my previous semester. First up: Introduction to Computational Media, or my creative coding class.

Here were a couple of the smaller weekly assignments I made throughout the semester.

Teleidoscope 

Once we started working with cameras, I wanted to make a sketch that worked similar to a teleidoscope with copies of the same images rotating slowly. a simple proof of concept.

Pixel Mirror

Another onethat I made and just really liked the effect of. These weren’t very complicated applications, but I really liked the effects they produced.

What If

I took the Conspiracy Keanu meme and created an app that crawls twitter for “what if”, does some parsing and creates an image from the text it finds. This one was really fun to run a bunch of times. Most made little sense
