Avatar, Javascript p5.js, 2021

This piece serves as a representation of my internet personality My avatar represents the digital me because I put stuff that I like into it. Recently, I’ve had a weird obsession with cutely drawn frogs on the internet. I also have a frog plushie that is also a heater. In regards to the pastel color choices, I wear a lot of pastel and they’re my favorite colors because of how calming and cute it is. I decided to add a laser and crosshair one because my friend suggested the lasers and two because I recently started playing computer games that are shooting games. Overall, I just wanted to create a cute little sketch that can also be played with!

Simple Drawing Machine, Javascript p5.js, 2021

This drawing machine was made with the intention of creating a fun but useful sketch workspace to spark creativity. This piece utilizes slides to change colors of both the background and pen tool. In addition, there is also an eraser because wiping the whole screen would be inefficient. To also inspire creativity, an alpha fade and a random color generator with perlin noise was added. There is also a reset button and a button to save the sketch as a png.

Restart, Javascript p5.js, 2021

Feeling trapped is a feeling that everyone has experienced. It can be emotional, like a relationship with someone. Or it can be physical, like a place that feels alien. It can also be both, currently for most in the form of a pandemic that has isolated everyone in their homes. As a form of escape, many individuals indulge themselves in the world of games, special media, and spending more time on the internet. However, it becomes a cycle of keeping oneself busy to escape.

The game Restart is a game of choices that lead to outcomes that will loop back to the beginning. It was made like this not to serve annoyance and frustration to the player but rather a chance at the realization of the loop that this world, the real reality, is stuck in, especially through these trying times. It is through the black and white lenses of a trapped little black box does the audience realize that this game is pointless, to only gain more experience and learn more of the world in the game to once again restart.
