workshops for the rest of the day
· Deadline – Monday 4th May

· Documentation (possibly in the form
of a blog)
· Explore different technologies and
document the experimentation
Installation
based documentary?
· Focus on psychological interaction
instead of physical interaction

“The
Dark Pool”
What is it? How would you describe it? How is
it described?
It is an
experience based immersive installation in which the participant/consumer
triggers sound by interacting with different aspects of the set. Narrative
environment, interactive narrative
How is it interactive?
The
consumer must physically interact with the installation causing the experience
to be tailored to their actions.
Why is it interactive?
The
interactive nature of the installations adds to the immersion of the
experience.
Are any of them more interactive than others?
If so in what ways?
What do they all have in common?
Creating a 1 click wonder
1. attach 2
wires to IPAC using screwdriver – loosen screw, insert wire – 1st to
ground, 2nd into any
3. Command e
for edit mode, connect keys to object – can make multiple connections
Our 1 click wonder (Taste The Ocean)
We decided to make use of the IPAC in conjunction with the ball bearing interface. When the ball bearing inside the metal canister was tilted to touch the other side, it would type a key on the keyboard, which, in turn, could be programmed to produce a sound using Pure Data. We connected this ball bearing sensor to a water bottle, so when it was used and the bottle was drank from, it would tilt, causing the ball bearing to hit the side of the canister, and therefore the 'w' key to be triggered, which was programmed to play the sound of an ocean wave. This was a good example of an interactive practical application of the iPAC and how it can be used to reinforce a brand/as an advertising technique.
