There was not enough space\/time for that to happen at ACCAD and the dec 8th critique.

I will look into buying a high capacity windows laptop next year. <br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I needed some troubleshooting with the Hot Folder and took awhile to figure out why I was generating so many prints. Turned out that I had an earlier version isadora file running in the background which was feeding the hot folder a bunch of images.  <br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The prints generated had a general purple hue to them. It seems like I needed to vary the colors more in the graphics generated, so that this purple hue is counteracted\/balanced. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Observations\/ Ongoing curiosities: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> The printer working generated an unexpected mechanical soundscape to the piece. The rhythmic and hasty machine sound creates a sense of urgent-ness to the work, I find myself feeling some anxiousness and felt pressure to work at that rhythm\/pace. I felt &#8220;chased&#8221; by the printer. <br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A classmate posed me a question about generative art, and how generative art tend not to have any material cost to it. She asked me how I felt about the paper and ink expended for this performance. I actually welcome the creation of these materials because as an artist working in collage, I hardly throw away anything because I save everything in flat files. These materials will eventually find its way into another piece of work in the future. <br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I intend to stage a cycle 4 in the Sherman Studio Arts Center after the semester quietens down. Cycle 4 will have the live-painting aspect and I will be exploring using what I have created in this class, as means to create a video work. I am also curious about how feature extraction can influence sound and be used for composing. <br \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In cycle 3, the three things I focused on were: Decisions made: Challenges\/Feedback: Observations\/ Ongoing curiosities:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/81"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4191"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4198,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191\/revisions\/4198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
