Prompt:
- Work in pairs. Due next week. Manipulate an image or video at the pixel levelto create an alternative reality to the one depicted in the original image. No sound. The image should change over the course of the minute. What is revealed? What is lost? Use the properties of color to focus our attention.
- Demo your experience in class:
- If you use
noise() or random(), use noiseSeed(0) and randomSeed(0) so you generate the same series of numbers each time you run the sketch.
- If the change happens through user interaction, plan out the interaction ahead of time so the change is both intentional and repeatable. We will experience each project 2x.
- Use the p5 editor's fullscreen link to show your project fullscreen. You can access it through the File >> Share menu.
- Use
createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
- Position and size screen elements in relation to the canvas width and height.
- If your image is not big enough to fill the entire screen, be mindful about the color you select for the canvas.
- Look at Rothko's Cat for sample code.
- Create a blog post documenting your work. Address / include the following:
- Choose 3 words to describe how the image changes over time. Think about how the words answer the questions: What is revealed, what is lost?
- Links to other projects that serve as references, inspiration, or deal with similar ideas as your piece.
- Consult resources from syllabus for inspiration. Pixels Week 1 | Pixels Week 2
