Adoption Centre

The idea of my projected lion is similar to this sort of pets.

Isadora

Wow it's an interesting programme, but I haven't really got it. Here are some websites about this software.

Idea Generation

Actually, I was not clear about the direction of my research topic until I discussed it with Maria. I simply want to do an interactive installation because I have never done it before. However, the main reason of why I am interested in interactivity is due to the exhibition "Navigator-digital art in the making", which was held in Taiwan in 2004.

This exhibition was really great since it collected brilliant artworks from all over the world. I went to the exhibition and experienced every single fantastic installation, which inspired me indeed. For example, "Pulsate" and "Frequency and Volume, Relational Architecture 9" impressed me a lot. Both these artworks were done by using high-tech integration of technology and art.

However, to recall the essence of arts, the most precious element of artworks are the concepts of artists. Some low-tech installations such as "Beyond Pages" and "Cheese" stimulated my imagination and fostered new ideas. Therefore, I agreed with Maria on the research topic "Low-tech Device to Open up Flows of Individual Creativity".

For my project I want to utilise the basic principle of computing, with the viewer being the pointer that triggers computing activities. This shall inspire people to re-define either virtually or real, whether seeing is believing or not. It is just like the activities between users and computers: people are not able to touch the computing programmes but able to use a specific way to communicate with computers. Because when you see a projected lion and a lion soft toy, you would probably say that the toy is real, but what if the projected one can interact with you?

This exhibition was organised by a friend of mine.

Projection on Smoke

In a completely dark room, eyes are not able to distinguish a real or an unreal object. I assume that if I project an image on smoke, and then people could see and think it is real.

Eye-Tracking System

With eye-tracking, a computer can trace the darkest points of a human face. I assume that conversely can trace the brightest points in a completely dark space.
