(3) Project Team: Mia, Shazlyn, Shun Yi
Created with Arduino and p5.js, users can change the colors with each click of the button, and they can also adjust the scale of the circles by turning the knob, enhancing the immersive ‘DJ’ experience.
Working with teammates Shazlyn and Mia, "Visual Noise" is a series of experimental visual designs created with different media to transform sensor data into vibrant displays of colours and shapes.
Each medium highlights a distinct interpretation, where Arduino captures bodily rhythms, p5.js maps dynamic generative patterns and TouchDesigner adds an immersive and interactive layer. Colours and shapes are thoughtfully assigned to represent each person (white- Shun Yi, orange - Shazlyn, green - Mia), producing a mesmerising fusion of technology and personal expression, inviting viewers to witness the unique rhythms of human experience.
1: Rhythm of the Body
I made use of p5.js to create 'Breathe!', and used different sided stars to represent each one of us.
2: Sensor DJ
This interactive ‘DJ’ set offers a unique way to experience music visually, acting like an audio visualizer. Playing with the Arduino kit felt reminiscent of spinning tracks on a DJ set, inspiring us to design the visual output to appear glitchy and wavy, where users get the illusion of sound and music despite there being no audio.
