1.CLOUD

KEY: collective actions, direct interaction

This is an installation by Caitland Brown. It is made from 1,000 working light bulbs with pull-chains and additional 5,000 burnt out light bulbs donated by the public. Hundreds of pull-chains are hanging under the bulbs, but only a few of them have the function of turning the lights on or off. Visitors could pull the chains causing the CLOUD to sort of flicker and trying to find the right one to turn on or off all the lights. This installation becomes a hit for children, causing lots of broken chains to be repaired.

The interesting point about this project is that, it uses the repetition of a single action to involve as many people as possible, by which creates uncertain results. Besides, to some point, it extends the interaction from between installation and human, to among human too.

2. EVENT OF A THREAD

KEY: Swing, collective actions, direct interaction

Made by Ann Hamilton, the project is displayed as a fantastic “event” in Park Avenue Armory in New York. In the center of the armory, a billowing white curtain is suspended by ropes and pulleys, with all its movements based on the swings connected to it. The curtain changes as the swings’ movements change, through the collective action of the swingers. There are also bells ringing occasionally, and multiple choices of activities happening.

This project is amazing no matter in terms of motivation, form, or result. It did more than a device, creating an environment that allows both dynamics and static movements. Big scale, multiple functions, quiet sound, soft light, and the billowing curtain all help creating such “event”.

 3. LISTEN TO COLORS

KEY: prosthetic, transformation between color and sound

Neil Harbisson, born with inability to see colors, wears a prosthetic device on his head that allow him to transpose the light frequencies of colors hues into sound frequencies, even those colors beyond the range of human sight. In the “Sound Portraits” series, he listened to the colors of faces to create a microtonal chord. In a reversed way, he also creates and compares two paintings which are based on the speeches from Martin Luther King and Adolf Hitler.

What interests me in this project is that it provides a new aspect of discovering the world. The example itself doesn’t show a lot about interaction, but I think it has a great chance to fit into the interactive installation to display this kind of interesting transformation.

Rethinking about final project V1

It turns out that the previous idea of final project is too ambitious for me to achieve for now. So another form should be considered and we are thinking about a flexible wall on the corner of a room to create a similar space I have mentioned. Have no idea...

Final Project V1: Room Making

Following the idea from the project 4 -the movement of open up and close-I am looking for a possibility to relate the movement to a spatial experience. More precisely, when you get closer to the device, it will create a private room for you to stay. Below is a sketch for the device.

The device will be hung on the ceiling at first with some furniture under it. When someone stands under it for a while or use the furniture, the device will slowly open up and fall down at the same time until eventually cover most of the user.

Starting...

The word "responsive" is the main reason why I chose this course. I am interested in the interaction between physical objects and human behaviors, as well as the principal mechanism behind them. Besides, I would like to try to transfer information data from surrounding environment into architectural spatial experience. So understanding the basic technologies (which are Arduino and Processing here), and then trying to manipulate them for an interactive device or installation are my main goals in this course.
