Palms of Change
Start Date: May 2023
Project Length: 1 month
Team Size: 4 members
My Role: Created the API input and output, developed a small harduino for proximity detection and assisted with TouchDesigner project
Used Tools: TouchDesigner // Harduino
Description:Palms of Change was my first interactive installation, exploring global weather representation based on viewers’s positions. Using sensors, I managed input data sent to an API, which returned real-time weather information such as rain, humidity, and cloudiness. This data dynamically influenced the visuals, creating an artistic and colorful output.
Although I enjoyed the challenge and learned a lot about interactive installations, TouchDesigner didn’t fully resonate with me, making this one of the few tools I wouldn’t revisit eagerly. Nonetheless, this project was an essential stepping stone in my creative journey, expanding my technical understanding, problem-solving skills, and ability to integrate real-world data into interactive art.
