Palms of Change

Start Date: may 2023

Project Length: 1 month

Team Size: 4 members

My Role: Create the API input and output and Help with the toutch designer project

Used Tools: Toutch Designer

Description: This project was my first installation, and like many of my other "firsts," it serves as a representation of where I began and highlights my growth. The installation was designed to represent the weather around the world, with the weather conditions changing depending on the viewer’s position in front of the screen. My primary responsibility was managing the input from the sensor, sending that data to the API, and receiving real-time information in return. We used various parameters like rain, humidity, and cloudiness to generate the visual representation of the weather. Although I learned a lot from this project, I found that the TouchDesigner program didn’t quite click with me. As a result, it stands out as one of the few programs I don’t have a strong desire to revisit in the future. Nonetheless, this project was valuable in pushing my skills and understanding of interactive installations, and I view it as an important stepping stone in my journey.
