[Apr 29] All About Sensors: Arduino + Processing

The Power of Arduino + Processing is amazing, you can use all different kinds of variable resistor sensors to bring in data to processing, and then use it to trigger your visual representations.  In this class, we’ll be learning the basics of using (and creating) sensors in your programs

Bio: Liz Taylor is a new media artist whose interests lie in the intersection of art, design, and technology. While studying digital media at Florida State University she explored the elements of data portrayal and art installation through an Undergraduate Thesis focused on utilizing Processing. While completing a Masters in Fine Arts in Design and Technology at Parsons School of Design she investigates such topics as memory and personal identity through blending mediums such as illustration, computer programming, paper cut, motion graphics, installation, and soft circuitry techniques.
