Week 11

 I got the arduino communicating with Touchdesigner as a key pad. I used a library I found online. Numbers were displaying but not quite the numbers I had intended. After switching to the library from Adafruit that was built similarly I got similar results but it worked more consistently for the project. In Touchdesigner I connected it to work for a switch so I made all the animations and adjusted them for a switch TOP. 

    The animations I tried to make look like a color was washing over the audience. The circles I tried to tie into what part of the poem I was thinking about. At the beginning I was trying to keep them moving just horizontal and vertical and as it developed I was adding in the ones that moved in multiple ways. I connected the circles to edge TOPS and then to the LFO sine movement so that they move and rotate around. 

Feedback

    The original idea was to not use sound and the interest was that I made a musical instrument without sound but as the project developed the project transformed to he more reliant on the poem. With that sound could be utilized to make the poem fall more inline with the dreamscape feeling I was intending. I could also think about incorporating more projections and bridge the atmosphere of the surroundings into be incorporated into the art piece.
