#SOUNDPLANT MAKEY MAKEY SKIN#
If you then touch another wired up element with your skin (say a banana that is wired up to the UP key), it should activate that key. The playdough increases conductive surface area between your body and alligator clip. Connect this alligator clip lead to the EARTH. If you want your body to be one of the elements activating a sounds/event, it works well to use a piece of playdough tucked on the inside of a bracelet and have an alligator lodged inside of the playdough.The EARTH always needs to connect to the each button (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SPACE, etc) in order for the computer to "hear" a keystroke or mouse event. The MAKEY MAKEY works via electrical signals passing through conductive materials. There are also optional workshops in circuitry, repurposing technology, and combining sensors with screen-based work. Twice a week students will meet in computer labs to get hand-on experience with the tools of Digital Interactivity, mainly Processing (open-source visual programming), and Flash (for dynamic, animated, sound/video, sensors). This lab/lecture course features 10 lectures given once a week, which cover Interactivity in contemporary art practice, within an art historical context, in art theory and how this field is seeping into other areas. Interactive Digital Arts is one of the three foundations courses within the Digital Arts program. The unifying thread of this exploration is the question of how Interaction and User Experience have been utilized in art practice historically and where this burgeoning field might lead the creative fields in the future. This course will delve into the rich field of Interactivity across various disciplines and media. Yet again, interaction may stem from hacking into sensors in video game systems to exploring circuitry and robotics. Interaction may mean participation or ownership in an experience, but it also could refer to data-collecting interactive installations in art galleries or Smartphone user interface platforms. Interaction in Digital Art can mean many things. Our digital arts program encourages students to combine an understanding of the theoretical discourses of new media and visual arts with strong technical sophistication, a rich sense of visual design and an ability to articulately express themselves as artists. Want to make your gaming control out of Play-Doh? With the Makey Makey and Play-Doh you can play your favorite games on your very own custom controller.ARTD 252 (Interactive Digital Art with John Park)Ĭontemporary media practice involves a rigorous investigation of, and engagement with continually evolving technologies. Sound files for the individual piano keys or guitar strings can be downloaded from a number of websites like .įor a banana piano, connect the inputs on the Makey Makey to bananas and then associate the keyboard keys with the mp3 files for the piano keys that you want played.įor a guitar, hook up the guitar strings on a drawing to the Makey Makey inputs, associate the keyboard keys with mp3 files for guitar strings, and it will work like an actual guitar. All you need is a sheet of paper, wooden pencils or led pencils, a computer with SoundPlant installed. You can turn a drawing of a guitar into a real guitar or bananas into a banana piano using the Makey Makey and Soundplant. Using the Makey Makey and SoundPlant you can practically play any instrument using any object that can conduct electricity. The Makey Makey can be used for many things! This video shows examples on what you can do with the Makey Makey. Be sure to hold the ground when touching the objects in order for electricity to flow from the input on the Makey Makey to the ground terminal.
