Recap 11/11/19

Today we started class talking about computers. The arduino is a board that has a lot of components that handles inputs and outputs. For example, it connects the physical world with the digital world. We then talked about creative coding. It is used to create live visuals and art to one's eye. In addition, creative coding is used as a form of entertainment. This could be the next step in cinema to evoke a greater connection between film makers and audiences by creating more creativity. The truth with coding is that the opportunities are endless. Coding has been used as a form of expression for many individuals. Then we talked about performance. First, we talked about messa di voce. This singing exercise is important because it perfects your crescendos and decrescendos.  We then watched various performances containing interesting sounds. I found these performances to be very amusing because they made no sense to me as I watched them. We then talked about interactive media. Interactive media is important because it creates interaction between the user and the technology. As we evolve, we see more and more interactive technology in every day places. Lastly, interactive technology now uses new screens instead of computer screens. Interactive media has also lead to simulations which can be very appealing to the eye.
