So here are a couple of ideas for closing a circuit:

Midterm Project:
ACTUALLY I changed my mind since uploading these pics, because I think this idea is too unrealistic. I want to do something with light sensors though and I'm looking online for information on how to use them, but this is proving difficult. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out.

I want to make a small fan for hot beverages. It will involve a pressure sensor which will be attached on the underside of a table coaster. When the sensor is activated, it will turn on the small motor included in the kit (which I'll need to slow down), which will have fan blades attached to it. In effect, this tiny fan will provide a huge leap in hot beverage drinking technology, preventing both pain and anguish.

Hey, my name is Kim and I'm a senior Vis Media student. So far my emphasis has been film, but I'm really interested in computing which is one reason why I want to take this class. I figure college is for learning, not repeating things you can already do, so hopefully I'll learn a lot. It seems pretty hands-on, which is pleasantly surprising. As for my art practices, I film, paint, draw, and things like that. I have mixed feelings about postmodern art, but I think it should be either viscerally or cerebrally compelling within a social context (doesn't have to be the local context) as opposed to self-serving. Also I think computers are a very interesting new medium for art practices and allow for original implementations of old ideas.
