Proof of concept: Arduino Ethernet shield
I was asked to do some research on the Arduino Ethernet shield for potential uses in interactive installations. So I spent a couple of days learning about it and creating a proof of concept working prototype that shows a two way communication of data via the Ethernet between a PC and an Arduino. Strings and …

The making of Stop Motion – my thoughts
This project took me the better part of six months. There are about 5000 lines of code. It is also my first commercial project when I was still wet-behind-the-ears after graduating from LASALLE. Because of this project, I gained a fair bit of confidence in programming skills, and would say that I have moved on …

‘Fluid Vase’ by Kwok Pan Fung
Beautiful example of how code can be realised in the physical world through 3D printing. This vase takes the form of a 3D freeze of water in motion captured in a split-second time frame. Description from Vimeo:- Fluid Vase – Action becomes Object from Kwok Pan Fung on Vimeo. Launch of Fluid Vase at http://www.supabold.com …
Animated gifs using Processing
Stumbled across a cool and inspiring blog on animated gifs (using a combination of Processing, Cinema4D and AfterEffects) while doing visual research for my Kinect project. It is done by Paolo Ceric, 22 yo, from Zagreb, Croatia. Some examples:-
A new Processing library called Ketai
The open source community is one that I admire and respect greatly. They are made up of techie artists who create free tools and platforms for other artists to use. Members share their works openly and are willing to share their knowledge and help others in their projects. Some of these people write software libraries …
Class hobby motor projects
This project was a good learning opportunity for my class where we explored the use of hobby motors (dc motors, stepper motors, servo motors) as part of artworks. The brief for the project stated that it had to use at least two different kinds of motors, programmed with the Arduino microcontroller, be portable and have …
“Abstraction” – my diploma graduation theatre project
The publicity event poster for the diploma graduation project I’m working on with my classmates as well as theatre students. I’m responsible for the sound operation for this show and designed a GUI in Pure Data to playback and mix sounds in real time. The theatre student I’m working with is rather experienced in mixing …
