MICA Vibe was an extensive, collaborative project commissioned by Maryland Institute College of Art administration team. MICA Interactive Spaces students collaborated with MICA Graphic Design graduate students, Karlssonwilker, and Adobe to create 75,000 data-driven generative book covers.
Interactive Spaces students and faculty worked together for a semester to create responsive data collecting installations all around campus.
Initially, there was very bare-bones guidance in how MICA Vibe was supposed to be executed. All we knew as a group was that there had to be a campus-wide data collecting installations and that the collected data will eventually create 75,000 book covers.

MICA Vibe was intended for the mass audience, therefore we had to plan out the concept and ideas very meticulously. Spending a considerable amount of the time we have together, through Design Hackathons, cardboard prototypes, and meeting with Karlssonwilker, we fleshed out our ideas.
Students and staff were divided in to different teams to be in charge of fabricating different stations, wiring installations, and design the web. I worked on wiring devices onto the hardware, and assisting hardware fabrication.
