redefining privacy: a background research

14-Feb-10 | 385 views

Although I have not yet scoped down my thesis project to a specific and executable idea, it sits in the context where new technologies and innovations in communication tools have already changed a great deal in daily human-to-human interactions. However in such situation people are not yet ready for the much more significant social norm [...]

Thesis abstract draft

I have always been paranoid keeping my different online identities separate. It has been a while since I found it easy enough to put up several google searches and get a pretty complete profile of a person, if he or she does have an active online identity. It is not to say I think keeping [...]

Kalpa

16-Jan-10 | 806 views

Their bodies are too small to be noticed by human eyes but they have an extremely strong sense of any kind of movement around them. They gather and reproduce only in a still environment. A [...]

Automating The Brush Stroke

20-Nov-09 | 588 views

Here’s a rough diagram of the drawing machine architecture that I have in mind. I’m building the components from bottom to top. I moved on from the brush stroke and started to work on a set of drawing functions that incorporate the stroke. Currently coverage: moveTo, lineTo, rect, circle the moveTo function is necessary since [...]

A Passive Drawing Machine

12-Nov-09 | 511 views

worked on this simple drawing machine a couple of month ago but never got it posted. The machine draws with dripping ink, which is loaded into the cup and slowed down by the sponge. The machine draws while the movable paper holder is pushed, leaving passive trails on the paper.

Update on my brush stroke

05-Nov-09 | 772 views

following up my drawing machine project proposal, I built a brush stroke in the first week to simulate what a brush should behave in my imagination. Basically I built it with the idea of simulating chinese calligraphy (without the splashing ink part) so first it should be used for writing, and it came out pretty [...]

Generative 3D Modeling paper: http://www.scribd.com/doc/279861/Generative-3D-Models Wikipedia entry of Generative Modeling Language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_Modelling_Language Usual 3D file formats describe a virtual world in terms of geometric primitives. These may be cubes and spheres in a CSG tree, NURBS patches, a set of implicit functions, a consommé of triangles, or just a cloud of points. The term “generative [...]
