Juxtaposing Shapes via Algorithms
Nikki Maller '10 was one of the first two students to complete the Arts & Technology Minor.
She was an East Asian Languages & Literature major, with a strong interest in both art
and technology. During the Fall of her senior year, she
modeled experimental architectural designs in SketchUp and printed them on our 3D printers.
For her cluminating Special Studies to complete the minor, she was inspired by Rivane Neuenschwander's blank comic frames with empty speech bubbles. She developed a program in the language Processing (which she learned in CSC106 Intro. Computing and the Arts) to automatically generate random versions of such comics:

Nikki's generated version. |
She then modified the design to key off of randomly selected images of cartoon-ized photographs of her friends (art work by Kelsey Tomblin '10), again with
empty speech bubbles. The second woman in the bottom panel is Nikki!
