About Me
- Hello!
My name is Prita Priscilla Hasjim and welcome to my website! I am currently a third year at the University of California, San Diego pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts. I am a goofball, panda enthusiast, and master of all meals microwavable. I am intrigued by anything that is colorful and bright, and I enjoy observing bizarre imaginations at work. Other things that I love are desserts, visits to the zoo, my family and friends, and of course art in general. Feel free to send me some love or questions you may have to me@pritahasj.im. Thanks again for stopping by!Amitiés,

UCSD Alpha Chi Omega Infinite Love
Promotional banner used for UCSD Panhellenic Recruitment 2012.
The Sixth College
A shirt design illustrated for the Sixth College 2012 Orientation Leader Program, inspired by The City logo.
Early sketch for future longboard design.
A majority of the patterns found in this image were fabricated out of sheer randomness, aside from a few, like the bubble with the batik design found around bottom right of the page and the water currents found on the top left bubble. I hope in the actual work that I will be able to be paint designs and images in each bubble that represents who I am and illustrate my life thus far. Other than that, the botanical template is based on an image of a living room wall I saw a long time ago (around my freshman year of high school, actually). I searched around to find the original image, but it’s been such a long time ago, I can’t remember where the image was from or who the artist behind the interior design was. I really enjoyed the fluidity of the design and the idea of recreating the structure has always stuck with me.
Pi Kappa Alpha T-Shirt Design
A t-shirt design illustrated for UC Irvine Pi Kappa Alpha’s 7th Annual Founder’s Day Football tournament.
Sixth College Beatles
A shirt design illustrated for the Sixth College 2011 Orientation Leader Program.
Cover page of Hunger
A graphic novel assignment illustrated and conceptualized for CAT 3, a class on culture, art, and technology as it relates to social structures, instructed by Professor K. Wayne Yang.
Attack!
Banner and shirt design illustrated for some of my closest friends and the ska music group, Coasta Nostra. Note that the image in the top right square was taken from Roy Lichtenstein’s Whaam! and then modified by me. I take no credit for the top right illustration; the modifications were only a freedom of art and expression.

RIGHT ON TRACK
RIGHT ON TRACK is a Processing art experiment that seeks to explore and illustrate the movement of people around the University of California San Diego and their dependence on public transportation. By hacking the official UCSD Shuttle Tracker website, www.ucsdbus.com, I was able to attain information on certain bus routes, such as which busses are currently operating, for what route these busses are operating on, their longitude and latitudes, as well as their current capacity. The circles on RIGHT ON TRACK represent the various busses that are currently operating, with the color representing the official color for the particular route that bus is on and the size dependent on the current bus’ capacity. These circles are moving across the canvas in real-time, based on the position of the actual, moving bus, creating a living, constantly shifting piece of art.
** Due to the fact this art project utilizes live shuttle feeds from around the UCSD area, it can only be viewed Monday thru Friday, 8am to midnight. This is because shuttles only run during these times.
Although this was my second time using Processing, it was my first time implementing and utilizing my own images to the canvas. I created the outline of the tree and the various patterned leaves using Photoshop and painstakingly placed them onto the canvas by looking up different coordinates and rotating each leaf separately. I initially had the leaves scattered randomly around the various tree branches in random angles, but I didn’t like what it did to the overall composition. After placing the different leaves on the tree, I created a function that would randomize and refresh the different leaf patterns depending on whether or not a particular leaf is within a certain radius of the mouse. Despite the tediousness of the different leaf’s location and angles, I am really satisfied with its simplistic nature.
Glissando
Glissando is a visual representation of musical notes and their frequencies. A trombone is an unusual instrument because it lacks keys. Trombones express sound depending on the slide’s position and musician’s embouchure, or the way in which a player applies the mouth to the mouthpiece of a brass instrument. The higher the slide position, the lower the notes, and the tighter the embouchure, the higher the octave. Because I can only express one steady embouchure, I have decided to start the instrument on the F right above the staff. You can see my notes on the different slide positions, the notes they express, and their frequencies in hertz. There is also a trombone slide position chart for your reference as well as the general graph displaying the visible spectrum of light.
This was my first real attempt in integrating Computer Science with Visual Arts for my VIS 140/ICAM 101 course instructed by Todd Margolis. I say “real” due to Processing’s artistic nature and purpose. Seeing that I’ve had plenty of coding experience in the past, the only real struggle I had working with Processing was figuring out what I wanted to achieve from it. After seeing the moving on curves example on the Processing website, however, I was immediately fascinated by the numbers behind the art. I knew from playing around with it that I wanted to convey something mathematical but in an artistic, beautiful way. By creating several polynomial and square root equations, I was able to calculate the projectiles of several different clusters of balls that would shoot out in all different directions after the user clicks his or her mouse. A click of the mouse will not only re-route the projectiles but it will also randomize the colors of the streams. The user can also hold the mouse button, creating more chaotic interpretations of the projectiles, an effect that I achieved purely by chance, after I unintentionally re-factored a piece of code into the wrong section.
