WEEK 2

This week, the teacher first reviewed last week’s content, including the concept of performance media and the input–process–output interaction model, and then guided us to explore “expressive media” in more depth. The main topics covered creative coding and generative art, emphasizing how a balance between “rules + randomness” and continuous iteration can create complex and engaging artistic results through human–computer collaboration.

Next, we downloaded and learned to use TouchDesigner, an interactive creation software. At first, the dense network of nodes on the interface felt overwhelming, but with the teacher’s guidance, I followed the steps carefully — for example, selecting the “Noise 1” node to generate dynamic visuals, adjusting colors and parameters, and correctly linking the nodes. In the end, I successfully created my first visual animation, which felt very rewarding. Finally, the teacher divided us into groups to discuss the topic for “Project 1,” preparing us for the upcoming creative process.

Ding Jiaqi/0379388 Embedded systems / Bachelor of interactive spatial design Week 1 Class Summary and Reflection In this class, I gained a deeper understanding of the integration of embedded systems and interactive spatial design. I learned that embedded systems are widely used in fields such as smart homes and industrial automation, while interactive spaces enhance user experiences through technologies like holograms, LED walls, and VR/AR. Additionally, the class provided a detailed explanation of the requirements and content of Assignment 1, helping us understand how to complete it effectively, including selecting appropriate embedded system concepts and interactive design approaches and integrating them to create an engaging interactive space. During the class discussion, we conducted a group discussion on Assignment 1, exchanging ideas and ultimately deciding on our project’s theme—conveying the concept of environmental protection. We aim to use embedded systems and interactive sp...
