Insperation-Becks Festival Bar at Sydfest

Becks Festival Bar at Sydfest


This was a peice create for the 'Becks Festival Bar at Sydfest'. This video projection, doesn't have standard interaction in the way of a human interface, rather it reacts to the enviroment around it, playing the surrounding architecture. The exectution is rather simple. The designer imputs the restrictions of the building, i.e. limits of building, then dark spaces (windows etc) then uses an altering gravitational engine to form a picture with small objects then releases them into the effect of the G. field. This produces a quite interesting effect.

Ibielive i could use this concept to incorporate the surrounding environment but possibly use another input that would allow a responder to maybe put there face or body image into the design (shadow puppets?) then have the image piece apart.

Insperation: Time Bomb - Interactive Graffiti (StupidKrap & Holler)

Time Bomb - Interactive Graffiti (StupidKrap & Holler)

This is an example of combining traditional art forms into multi media designs.

This was achieved by having 9 street artists paint new works over the same large canvas, while being recorded on camera. The final artwork was displayed next to a LCD screen of the same size and a video camera was positioned below it. This allowed an input for the responder to create motion and alter the fluid motion of the artwork to reveal all of the sub levels in the artwork.
I could use this sort of interaction so that the more inquisitive responders and find more in an art work.

Insperation- BLPRNT "ecosystems"

This is another interactive multimedia design created by the designer Blprnt.

This design uses a program called Edlab, developed to track the increase in uses of certain blogs and posts. After inputting this information into processing Blprnt created a mini ecosystem of postes,starting with 20 blogs of similar nature then as the popularity of the blogs in creased so did the ecosystem until unique blogs and posts started to appear which created new seperations.

Once again this is another way of looking for unconventional inputs into code to create interesting designs and creations.

Insperation- BLPRNT 'Just Landed....'

while looking at the different information inputs available on processing i stumbled across a slightly more unique one. This designer apparently having chat to a student friend studying a PHD in Bio-informatics was curious about the spend of a flu virus over different continents and new models to represent spread. While after a long chat he wondered about the the imformation virrus known as twitter.



The idea simple: use Twitter to search the sentence 'Just landed...' Calculate the position of the initial profile then the new location and then code appropriately.

The Result: A interactive multimedia engaging design which responds to world wide movements of twitters traveling the world.



To quite interesting effect this design opens up the limited interaction of sound or simple movement to allow for firstly internet gossip then to show international movement which could lead to predictions and probabilities of human movement through countries.

This was a very interesting project shown inclass to get us thinking about possible ideas for interactive media using code.


Challenge
'The Victoria & Albert Museum commissioned us to create the Madejski Garden Winter Light Installation for 2008-9, to mark the start of their new digital programme of exhibitions. Besides being an engaging artwork, it had to be weatherproof, and have a presence beyond the Museum.'
Delivery
'A 4 metre high LED videowall and speaker system was placed above the water, connected to a Mac Pro generating the realtime audio and visual content. The software generates a daily video podcast of the artwork, forever. A series of 20,000 unique generative postcards were printed to promote the event.'
Results
'The installation had 100,000+ visitors throughout its 3 month stay, the video podcast spread worldwide reaching #2 in the iTunes Arts podcast chart.It has since been exhibited as 6 simultaneous window projections and 800 wall mounted postcards in the SIAD Gallery, Sheffield.'

I found this art work to be very interesting demonstration of digital software code and medium to create riveting artwork. What first comes to mind when viewing this artwork, it is said that every interpretation of an art work is different for each individual. This artwork generates a constant changing experience of both visual and audio truly offering a unique experience to every responder to be evaluated in kind.



This artwork is a very good example of using magnetic field line libraries to produce a new visual component. I could also use this artwork to consider possibly combining resulting mediums. For example i shouldn't be bound by only producing one avenue of response. I could mix the experience by offering alternation of audio, visual, touch etc responses to different interactions with the media.

First Post!

This is my first post on my new blog!

This blog will display any relevant information concerning my new projects at university. This will include Research, Inspiration, concepts and the processes i used to create them.
