This echoes back to my midterm project, where I used communication between the Arduino and MaxMSP to make tones and modulate frequency inputs.
Handshaking is a cool concept, and I’m glad I was able to get it to work through the lab. I’m still trying to think of my possible applications for it, in what context a handshake might be better than a buffer and so on.
I think the other thing I need to experiment with further after this lab is storing data in either the raw binary/ASCII and figuring out the advantages within the programs I’m using. I’m also excited to play with other programs on my computer with data to exchange. I think there’s a ton of potential.
I recently submitted a mock-up to the Data Through Design exhibition. If approved, I’ll get a stipend and time to create an installation that relies on data. I’m putting together a box that takes user input to adjust prompts for an LLM. Using NYC language data by neighborhood, I’m using the model to create different creole languages that are amalgamations of the language data. The different inputs correspond to neighborhoods to model and prevalence of various languages as another controllable variable. Then, when sending, all data is plugged into one single result, which prompts the LLM to create the creole language and output it as audio. I’m still in the early stages of this project—the big hold up is with manipulating the LLM to receive the inputs and be rather consistent with its output. If there’s any good program for this, or some form of computer thing that would help me with solving this connection, I would appreciate being told what would be good here.
