Hypergesture


Hypergesture is a kinetic sculpture exploring gestures of light and sound through robotics. I have chosen a mechanism originally from surgical robotics that constrains end effector movement to along the surface of a sphere. This mechanism only has two degrees of freedom so its movement is simple to model. I am interested in how expressive I can make its movement subject to these very tight constraints.

You can see a small-scale prototype with one axis of rotation in the images below

Two robot arms are constrained to move end effectors equipped with halogen bulbs around a single point in space. The arms are programmed to weave around each other in close proximity, creating a robotic ballet in light and sound.

The sound produced is directly connected to the path of the robot arms and represents a path through a sonic space formed of different sound qualities. The position of each end effector can be described as latitude and longitude along the surface of a sphere. I have mapped the latitude and longitude of the end effector to X and Y in a 2 dimensional space that represents the sound qualities of different instruments.

Wood Urbanism

Resim
Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
