Nathan Villicaña-Shaw creates installations that explore and question our ever changing relationship with technology. Interested in defining new boundaries for human-circuit interaction, Nathans previous installations have featured armies of circuit bent toys, circuit bent Super Nintendo’s as well as relay grids that sonify global weather data. Nathan spends most of his time creating interactive installation art, composing, hacking and working as a Python developer and creative technologist. Nathan is a MFA and BFA alum from the MTIID department at CalArts where his research focused on developing and working under the philosophy of OpenHacking; a discoverist framework for art creation via the exposure of electronic systems for subversive injection. Before studying at CalArts, Nathan played Bass in various punk and surf bands from the SF East Bay such as The Molestations and The Machetes.
Nathan is employed by Kadenze Inc. as a Researcher in the R&D department.
Yeah, the biggest shortcoming of LaTeX is working with someone who doesn't know it / doesn't want to use it... but honestly for smaller projects you can always send pdfs or screenshots and have suggestions given that way. LaTeX is amazing for most stuff like lab reports, presentation, random documents, book publishing etc. Though for a PhD depending on who supervises your stuff it might be pretty hard / impossible to do that with them if you insist on LaTeX. I hate word so much I just have to use it lol... also, I don't find formatting difficult, I actually find word's formatting harder since you've gotta click through menus so f-ing often and LaTeX is just extremely simple coding, no algorithms to think about - it's just formatting being coded very nicely and neatly, it's pretty easy to interpret code in your head and generally it's pretty predictable (after a month of use I stopped googling stuff all together - it kinda came naturally, of course I had many issues on day one, but I also had issues with word literally every single time I used it for like 10 years in a row...), not to mention LaTeX's equation editor is incredible which is the main reason I switched in the first place. Honestly, if I were forced to do a project in word right now I'd just screenshot the equations from LaTeX, I would probably keep them numbered in a single file so I can easily change and format them, I could never go back to word's eq. editor...
Thank you for saving me a lot of time. I was going to start with LaTeX today, and my final step was to watch your video. Now, I'll happily return to Word.
after ive got my .raw glitched photo, how do i save it as a jpeg in the same giant resolution? File is corrupted if i try to open it anywhere but photo viewer
This would've been useful a few months/years ago :P LaTeX shouldn't take that long to setup; all it needs is a document-class, paper-size, everything else is modification of the defaults of that document-class, and most people have already done them (templates) so they can either be copied or re-written from scratch - like a "Do it once then never worry about it again" thing. But yes, sending the paper over for the supervisor to edit/correct afterwards is a pain/impossibility. Still, it keeps getting recommended by both students and teachers, at least in the engineering field where I am.
I'm curious how this is working... shouldn't lines 10-12 be "but_pins" to assign the pinMode()? Not but_states... that's where the digitalRead is being stored.
How to you go PAST channel 32 to channel 33 and beyond? I have multiple fixtures of different types that I want to run on this exact board and I need more than 32 channels.
Thanks for your video! It will be more interesting if you can show or let us know the project you build on the Arduino uno (I mean sketch and layout) in order to mount and test. Anyway, thank again
Heya! This is some environmental protection testing for the "electronic creatures" that I built for my PhD thesis which I am wrapping up right now. As my electronic creatures are exhibited in outdoor natural environments it is important they were designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. I am hoping to exhibit them sometime again soon =)
