Software I will need a Software to process the data collected by the microcontroller or the web cam, and consequently to control the animation. I look into this few softwares to check if there were suitable for my needs. Isadora Isadora is a graphic programming environment that provides interactive control over digital media, with [...]
Project Research- Microcontroller
Now that I know what I want to do, I need to to concentrate on what do I need to create this interactive artefact. If I decide to use a sensor of any kind I will need to plug it to a device, which will control and collect data from it. That is called a [...]
Project Research-Sensors
First I need to decide what kind of sensors will be idle for my project When the spectators get close enough to the painting, the animation start. Consequently we need something, which can found out where the spectator is in relation to the screen. This interaction will give the computer the ability to sense [...]
Usman Haque
This artist is in fact a architect who does focus is research on interaction, connectivity, contextual awareness. These kind of technologies modify our understanding of space and change the way we relate to each other. He does not think of architecture as static and irreversible entity; instead he sees it as dynamic, responsive and conversant. [...]
Music for Bodies – Sonic Bed
Last year we were had a trip to the see an exhibition with the sonic bed. Well, well the bed was not there anymore…L Music for Bodies is a research project involving the sonic mapping of human bodies to architecture, through studies of bio-resonance and interface building. Its aim is to discover new methods of [...]
Project
The other night I had this idea of hijacking an old painting and created an interaction around it. I especially thought about Mona Lisa, well-known illusion of her eyes following you. My first idea was to use a couple of motors attached to some plastic eyes controlled through a microcontroller such as the Arduino. Some [...]
Bloomberg Newcontempories2007
Today we went to see the Bloomberg Newcontemporaries2007 exhibition. Well known to introduce young and emerging artists to a national audience and provides the participants to develop a professional opportunity into the future. It was hard to believe that all of those piece has been chosen by artist , writers and critics. I do not [...]
Erwin Redl
Of course I cannot omit to mention this artist Erwin Redl, especially with the Matrix Series. Each version consist of a different large-scale demonstration of the typical grid structure. The LED components used in those pieces became the idle medium to convert the lingo of virtual reality and 3-D computer modeling into an sensual architectural [...]
jim Campbell
San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell is widely known to be one of the most extraordinary and important artists working with new media. His installations have pioneered new ways of showing images, from LED screens to touch-sensitive computers. He uses digital media in the service of profound humanism. I just found a new piece from him [...]
Fluxus
How to define Fluxus? It is quite hard, because the Fluxus movement seemed to be non-committal and full of divergences. This was caused, I believe, on the one hand by the lack of logical coherence, and on the other by all participating artists using their own definitions. This movement was famous to display critical attitude [...]
