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?
