I'm now collaborating with Peter and Muskan in designing sounds for the project OPEN. The goal is to have a single sound piece comprised of 4 or 5 individual arrangements transitioning into each other, with each being associated with a different event/mood one can experience while navigating around within the OPEN healing...

So, with classes, extracurriculars, and the rest of my life sabotaging my project, I have found that the footage I find of my living atmosphere must be powerful, and perfect. However, that has proven to be difficult so far because of circumstance. I do not have my own car to travel to possible locations, bad. Locally, UCLA does not provide...

This is the name of a 1986 sonic entrainment piece composed by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, which combines brainwave entrainment frequency patterns with music: (approx. 40 min. -- may take a while to load) Articles on entrainment: + via Wikipedia + via Jonathon Goldman's Healing Sounds

funny how naive i was to think that by changing environemnts I could change the way people think. And so naive of me to think everything is black and white. but now, i realize how relevent artificiality and misinterpretation is in my life. irony of being immersed in nature and beauty tangiblity, but living like robots. programmed to work, do what...

working on book spreads- I am feeling the need to stay very organized, maybe check myself in for a spiritaul cleansing and mental one at that- so many components to fit in together- I am just hoping that it will all come together the way I imagine it to be.

Last week a workshop was given by our TA, Jacob on the basics of Arduino gave examples on how it could be incoporated into our own projects. Arduino is a chipboard is able to take data from different hardware sensors and bring it into processing. Jacob and I discussed different methods in which an Arduino could be used to take data from a heart...

The visuals for my piece will take videos of nature that represent your own memories or that of those in your social network(friends/family). These memories will be reinterpreted using conditions of the individual such as motion, heart rate, and respiratory rate. The video element will then be created by blending blurred video of nature with...

My original idea about how/where the video would be projected was focused on the surface itself. I feel that the surface should have some sort of either organic or curved shape. A shape like the topography of a map would be ideal, though a more dome/curved like shape would work as well. The first intuition was to take a large piece of...

I decide that the Nonin Bluetooth Heart Meter/Oximeter was the best and most affordable choice for wireless sensing heart rate and respiratory data. The order was placed so now it was time to figure how I would take this data and bring it into Processing for use in manipulating content. Because I wouldn't have the unit for a few days yet, I began...

The final video may have been a bit too much information to grasp at one time, so I've decided that over the summer I would spend time clearly defining how re:hive works and functions as a colony in space. the idea was about redefining the way we interact with nature. I wanted to build a colony in response to the living environment bees have...
