Contribution to group project

*Multimedia Application Storyboard*

*Flowchart*

*Sketches*

*Survey*

My contribution to my group project is to produce a few sketches based on what we use to produce this "WalLust" (Interactive Wall) such as camera,infrared camera LED etc. Then, i create a flowchart where it shows step by step on how this WalLust function and interacts with people.

After completing the sketches and the flowchart, i create the multimedia application storyboard. In this multimedia application storyboard, it shows the details on how it interacts with people.

I also asked for helps from my friends especially those who came from faculty of engineering. I asked them to set up the circuit for the LED light because i don't have any experienced on doing that as well as my friends. We don't even know how to read the circuit diagram. Then, I created survey to make research about our topic "Lust and Love". I have discussed with my groupmate what question to put as the survey question. Then, we have to pass it to our friends to complete the survey. The purpose of we are doing this is to collectall the responses.

Most of the work produced such as design,prototyping and construction done by all the group members as you can see from the gantt chart given in the group's blog.

Biography :

Disturb Me - 05/17/08

“Disturb Me” is an interactive installation between human and his environment. It is to make perceptible the reciprocal links and often forgotten contact, that we maintain with our environment.

The projection depends on the sound emitted by the spectators and creates consequently, a transitory and colored environment. The projected forms are revealed when in contact with surfaces of the room.

The senses are awakened, the room becomes alive.

“Disturb Me” is an innovative interactive installation targeted to explore the relationship between people and their surroundings. The White Hotel in Brussels receives their guests and enthralls them into partaking in interactive light shows, as opposed to the more traditional ‘do not disturb’ signs at each door. The main purpose of this installation is to construct audible mutual associations and much elapsed contact which we have with the environment.

The room immediately becomes vibrantly animated soon as participants’ steps into the room. As the projection relies heavily on sound emissions, these anticipated shapes are exposed only upon contact with surfaces of the space. When this happens, the room is transformed into a visual fest of colors.

The senses are stimulated and the room becomes wonderfully vivacious. Although there are not many reviews available for this interactive light display, “Disturb Me” is a phenomenal visual masterpiece, coined to re-establish the connection between us and our surroundings through the sound medium. When a room’s occupant emanates resonance, colored orb projections starts to materialize. These projections then begin to vary, pool and plummet in accordance to the fixtures and corporeal surfaces in the room.

Not much has been written about the set up verification, and how exactly these mood-sensing protuberances recognize where to set out to, but these illustrations at the White Hotel in Brussels are quite spectacular and proffers cool and ambient depictions of subsequent echelons of interactive and distinctive illumination. It is undoubtedly the wave of the future, a one-of-a-kind hotel experience for those seeking something different

Fireflies on Water : Yayoi Kusama is one of the most significant contemporary artists to emerge from Japan. Suffering from 'rijin'sho', or depersonalisation syndrome, Kusama's art triggers visual experiences that metaphorically communicate th e hallucinations, or veil of dots, she has endured since she was a child. This vibrant iconography, often transposed as nets or auras, dominates her practice. Fireflies on water was specifically conceived for 'APT 200 2: Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art', and continues her series of 'Mirror/Infinity' rooms, produced since 1963. In this complex installation, a purpose-built room lined with mirrored glass contains scores of neon coloured balls, hanging at various heights above the viewer. Standing inside on a small platform, light is infinitely refracted off the mirrored surfaces to create the illusion of a never-ending space.
