PDF: gaslightingbook.pdf

(pdf of book above)

Using the Temboo API service, I decided to retrieve tweets which use the words gaslight, gaslights, gaslighting, gaslighter, gaslighted, etc. I wanted this to be a tool to unveil what the Twitter population’s thoughts on gaslighting were, and as an outcome to this experiment, I received both political commentary as well as personal history of those who claim that they have been gaslighted. I was expecting to see results relating to abusive or toxic relationships and psychological torment, but I was surprised to see tweets on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump show up. These results made the content of the book extremely reflective of the time we are currently living in, and I thought that was something which made this collection of tweets special. Also, I was unaware of the fact that trans and queer communities might show opposition or hostility towards one another — something that I had learned after reading the retrieved tweets.

I wish I had played around more with imagery, but I was able to play around with the formatting of the font/color/size of the words (which was a bit frustrating — I first tried using Basil.js and InDesign, but because the tweets had many unusual characters, Basil.js freaked out. Due to time constraints, I simply used Processing to generate a PDF of my book.

// Set up text strings

searchResults = parseJSONObject(tweetsResults.getResponse());
}

Here’s the full Spirit Animals PDF: SpiritAnimals_print.pdf

From the Artist’s Note at the beginning of the book:

“Spirit Animals is a computationally generated book of dances, created with Processing 3, an open-source software for creative coding. The dances can be done solo or in groups, with or without music, and are meant for novices and professionals alike. They aim, though do not promise, to be physically possible.

Spirit Animals draws influence from the Fluxus art movement, John Cage’s compositions, Andy Warhol’s Dance Diagrams, and traditional instructional dance diagrams such as the Fox Trot, Tango, and Lindy Hop. The dance names are derived using a random generator combining an adjective and an animal, producing variations on the “Funky Chicken.”

I hope you’ll use Spirit Animals to dance anywhere, at any time, and with anyone. Why walk, when you can dance?”

Spirit Animals marks a new step for me towards creating participatory computational artworks and experiences. I’ve been reading and thinking a lot about the ideas of participation, interaction, and the moment of encounter. I’m very interested in artworks which create situations for people to interact in some physical manner with themselves, the world, and others around them. I’m reading about relational aesthetics, “emancipated spectatorship” and the writings of Claire Bishop, Nicholas Bourriard, Roland Barthes, and Umberto Eco. Conceptually, Spirit Animals is hopefully fun, silly, and has a low barrier to entry for anyone to pick up the book and play. I like that this book/PDF format is easily distributable, and doesn’t require any technology to “perform.” Spirit Animals is also a visual experiment in computationally generated movement patterns. Secretly/not so secretly I have a wild desire to be a choreographer – and have a long history of collaborating with dancers and performers. However, not being a dancer, I’m a bit hopeless at actually creating the choreography, so I enjoy the “computer as collaborator” aspect of the dance creation here. I’m not sure where this goes, but I’m interested in exploring these ideas further.

In terms of the technical aspects of creating this book – let me count the ways….. First of all, this is by far the most complex and longest program I’ve ever written. Still being a beginner with coding and Processing, this was actually a mammoth task. I’ve learned a lot, and feel that the biggest technical skill I worked on here was just graphical – generating the foot patterns and figuring out the layout that made the most sense, and making those pesky curved arrows go where they should. I definitely didn’t work with Basil.js or InDesign but did put some of the text pages together in Illustrator. Rita.js is interesting to me, but will have to be tackled at a later date.

Here are some images from the book:

PDF Download of The Faces of Teenie Harris

Teenie Harris was a leading African-American photographer and photojournalist, who was active in Pittsburgh from the ~1940s-1970s. Through my internship at the Carnegie Museum of Art, I’ve been lucky to have access to the museum’s large database of Teenie’s photographs.

This book is catalog of all the faces in a (small but representative) sample of 2000 photos from the photographer Teenie Harris. I used the dataset of photos and a JSON output of a facial detector to isolate all the faces in each image; compute the brightness of each face photo; and sort the faces by brightness. The effect was a book that goes from dark to light, eventually fading into the background color of the page.

Most of my process was oriented around creating the code to generate the book. At first I needed to figure out how to retrieve all of the pixels that contained the face, so i used the bounding box that the face detector’s JSON output gave me. Then for each set of pixels I created a face object with the original size, the pixels, and the brightness. When creating the new face object I had to resize each face to a standard 20 pixels by 20 pixels. Then I sorted each face object by brightness. Then I looped through the sorted faces to create grids of faces that looks like this:

What I discovered was that the charm of the book wasn’t really the gradient but all of the variation within the gradient: the hidden pockets of light and shadow, the variation in face orientation, the expressions that deviate from the traditional portrait smile, and the occasional (and very rare), misclassified “face”. My inspiration for doing stemmed from the practice of of african americans lightening their photos to look “light-skin” or “passing white”. At first I wanted to see if I could catch any hint of that through sorting the faces, but then I realized i had no way of knowing the actual skin tones of the people in the photo versus the exposure that he used.

All things considered, I think this was a successful project. If i were to change anything, i’d probably make the book double-sided instead of flip book style. Additionally I would run the script on the full dataset of images (which i did not have at the time) instead of a sample. Also I struggled a lot with sorting because I couldn’t figure out how to bring in built in java libraries, and so i implemented quicksort which gave me a lot of bugs, so in retrospect I would’ve just asked someone for help sooner.

My book is called “What I Was Doing When You Texted Me.” It’s a personal text-photo memoir of the last two years of my life and also a look-up table for texts that my friends have sent me. It’s very personal project so my opinion is very biased, but I thought the content and the juxtaposition of certain texts and photos were very compelling. Because of the sheer amount of data I had produced, there were upwards of 20 photos/texts that were received/taken within one second of each other, so the “what I was doing when you texted me” question is very literally and accurately answered. The answer was “I was looking at this thing.” (Unsurprisingly many of the photos were screenshots, photos of my boyfriend, or selfies).

In order to generate my book, I cross referenced the time stamps of all of my photos using the EXIF metadata with the time stamps to all of my received texts. After scraping this data, I used processing to create a CSV containing all of the texts received with the photo with the closest time stamp. After ordering the data according to temporal proximity, it was easy to compile a book showcasing the information.

Description

This small square book tells the story of my summer in Los Angeles in 2014. After sophomore year of high school, I flew from Toronto, ON to live with extended family in LA while working at a small ‘startup’ company. The data to plot these moments of my summer was retrieved from Google’s location tracking database (https://myactivity.google.com) and chosen in a semi-computational manner that involved a non-perfect human input system.

Process

Going into this project, I knew I wanted to work with maps and location data. I’d been playing around with Mapbox Studio and I wanted an excuse to really dig into it. The next ingredient was to use my personal location data from Google My Activity — this made it easy for me to export all of my location data as a massive JSON blob. My initial idea revolved around using that data in conjunction with some longitude/latitude math to trace a line through the earth and create a book that had my location(s) and the projected location(s) of a doppelganger version of me in a different city.

I decided against this direction in the end because I wasn’t convinced there was any particular meaning to tracing a direct (or even canted/distorted line) through the planet. In the end, I decided to focus more on the exploration of my own data instead of trying to make artificial juxtapositions. See the below image for more process of the project.

Self-Evaluation

For me personally, looking at the book has a lot of meaning and feels very ‘deja vu’-ish because I can viscerally remember being at all of the highlighted locations. It also has a deep ‘uncanny valley’ feeling because, of course, the images are from Google street view and not things I personally captured — but, I can imagine having captured something similar. After all, I was there!

That said, something I didn’t account for when starting with the idea of using my personal location data was that it wouldn’t have the same meaning to other people. All of the psychological triggers that are working on me just aren’t being experienced the same way by other people. If I were to iterate further on this concept, I would create a fully automated pipeline for taking anyone’s location data + selected date range and converting that into their own book. I think then people would be able to feel the same way I did about my book.

Poetry for Robots by Robots

By combining some Shakespeare and computer user guide manuals in a Markov chain generator, the pages on the left of this book are a series of rhyming couplets that don’t always make much sense, but every once in a while says just the right thing to make that special robot swoon. The pages on the right, when flipped through quickly, show a handsome bot falling in love.

Inspired by The Tower of Babel, I decided to make a stream of letters, some more legible than others, that make out a poem of sorts that I wrote. Can this really mean anything, since the legible letters are still part of this incoherent stream? Can you actually know what this poem means?

P.S. I’ve had bad run-ins with making books, especially with inDesign and Adobe products in general. This project was really taxing and I ended up not making a physical book because it was too expensive.

Alphabet Fonts 

PDF Version

Final: AlphabetFonts.pdf

My book is about introducing fonts alphabetically. Start your baby early 🙂

Here’s a video of Golan flipping through my book.

On the right page there are 3 randomly generated alphabetical letters of different fonts and on the left is the names of those fonts. I thought it would be interesting to not make it extremely apparent which font matched with each letter so the letters are randomly placed with a slight change in opacity and either being white, transparent white, or transparent black. In this way, I hoped that the difficulty of matching the letters would prompt people to observe the letters more closely and see the subtle or extreme differences.

My own experience to getting into typography and the nuanced differences between fonts and their history was through examining fonts up close. I would print the same letter but of different fonts at 600+ pt on paper because it was easier to trace and note their differences when the fonts are so big.

Inspiration

I became really interested in how to better display the randomization of my font library after Marius Watz‘s awesome demo on Basil.js for scripting InDesign. I began searching baby alphabet books and was inspired by the illustration style of Anna Kövecses, a Hungarian graphic designer. Anna also made the alphabet book of 44 Hungarian letters (pictured below) for her 4-year old daughter.

Process + Sketches

Self Evaluation/Future Iteration

• I would like to make the fonts actually be presented alphabetically. For instance the letter A should have 3 different types of fonts starting with A, like Avenir, Arial, and American Typewriter. I ran into a small problem of actually not having a few fonts starting with certain letters or just not having at least 3 (J, Q,  U, V, X, Y). I’m going to need to download some fonts to make this work…but going to make this happen! I regret that I didn’t figure out how to make this happen for this iteration.
• Definitely going to have an outside printing service print my book (Espresso, Blurb etc). While it was fun learning how to hand bind and having control over the quality of paper and color, it was definitely laborious and I think even contradictory to the limitless/endless iterative quality of generative books.
• I still want to explore the composition and placement of the letters of the right page. Right now I have random placement of letters / colors = white, transparent, and transparent black. I’m not convinced this is the best way to represent the letters because there’s not a whole lot of meaning behind it other than it looks pretty. While the random placement produces some interesting compositions, sometimes it is really off.
• For the left page, I am thinking of adding more text like what does the font look like from A –> Z instead of just naming the font. Use Rita.js or Temboo…what about a simple sentence or phrase where every word of it starts with the letter (An Ant, Big Bunny, Crazy Corn etc) or just #ahhhhh #bae #cool. Overall, I’d like to strike a balance between randomization/generated and a well composed book.
• Do people feel like I just did this by hand in InDesign, no scripting? or is it obviously programmed? or both?

I wanted to make some fun random milkshake ingredients with a hint of nonsensical evil. At first I was going to just have normal ingredients mixed with things like “1 cup from the blood of your enemies.” After finding milkshake recipes that actually had instructions, I decided to have actual recipes with unnecessarily emotional directions. After running the code, I found that some of the directions read more sweet (since many of the hate letters were love hate letters). The contrast of either love or hate with the cooking instructions was an entertaining idea to me.

I generated my book using Processing code. The milkshake names are randomly generated from a list of negative adjectives. The ingredients are random milkshake ingredients, and the directions are a markov chain from the Rita library combining hate letters from the internet and milkshake recipes. The book definitely would’ve benefitted from some sort of images, perhaps just images from #milkshake from instagram. There was also an extreme lack of coherence. Perhaps if I’d had more recipes and hate letters I would’ve been able to tweak the markov chain to make more grammatically-correct sentences (that still had the strange mix of recipe + hate letters). The ingredients also could’ve been more entertaining with a couple strange ingredients added. I’m having a hard time accessing the end result of my book, since nothing seems very funny after reading several iterations of the code.
