In this recitation, I used three potentiometers to respectively control the R,G,B of the landscape picture. At first, I had intended to change the color of the girl’s dress on another picture, but I realized that I don’t know how to change it partially, so I substitute that picture for this one. I applied the tint function we learnt in class as well as the map function which I got reviewed not long before. I also confronted some problems in the last part. Because the serial communication code for Arduino was somehow not in its original form, I got confused about the “serial.print” part and when I operated it, my potentiometers didn’t work. With the help of the learning assistant, I got my mistakes corrected(where I didn’t type in double quotation mark and wrongly input semicolons instead of commas).

After reading Computer Vision for Artist and Designers, I feel like the ways technology was lacked in my project because according to the article, computer vision are something that can “create realtime reports about people’s identities, locations, gestural movements, facial expressions, gait characteristics, gaze directions, and other characteristics”. Whereas, in my project, I also use potentiometers which can be controlled by people, but can’t observe people. Anyway, I’m glad to see “the use of computer vision techniques increasingly incorporated into media art education, and into the creation of games, artworks and many other applications” and I’ll be willing to try computer vision in my future projects as well as other aspects of my live.
