Assignment 3 - Chad Ostermann - Sam Fillingim - David Kahler

Face scanning and plant growth - Different faces create different emotions. These emotions are tied with different colors. These different colors can be used to grow plants. Different colors have different effects on plant growth. Person steps in front of camera and captures a video recording of the face. The video recording stays looped until a new person comes on in to record another 10 seconds. White light is the best condition and can be tied with Happiness :) Negative emotions and blandness can be tied with other colors. A time lapse camera will be set up to take a picture of the plant every day and every time the color changes. A different camera will be set up to record the emotion captured with the light.

Ferrofluid music - Plugs into ipod and a sensor will pick out a certain note/s in different songs. An electromagnet is placed within a container with ferrofluid. The electromagnet will react with the music; getting stronger and weaker depending on the pitch and frequency. The ferrofluid will react differently depending on the strength of the magnet. This kind of audio physical visualization is called Cymatics.
