ART+COM – COMMUNICATING SPATIALLY WITH NEW MEDIA
Looking at ART+COM website, I was interested in the projects which they have interactive work.
From the very beginning ART+COM has pioneered the development of this medium, and has conceived and realised communication formats, design principles and technologies that have become pervasive concepts in today’s world. Ranging from artistic installations and design-focused projects to technological innovations and inventions, ART+COM’s work includes different kinds of formats: Autoactive, reactive and interactive objects and installations, media-based environments and architectures.
Duality was created for a new development site in the center of Tokyo. Compared to the traditional “art in public space sculptures” the goal was to design an interactive installation that responds to its location in terms of the content and physically to the passers by. The boundary between a walkway and an adjacent artificial pond was chosen as the location for the work. This interface between “liquid” (water) and “solid” (land) was thematically used and augmented by the question of “real” (water ripples) and “virtual” (artificial light waves).
On the walkway, a 4 x 4 meter white monochrome LED plane was installed and covered with a sand-blasted, opalescent glass. The glass tiles are equipped with load cells measuring the exact position and power of each footstep, triggering corresponding virtual waves on the LED plane. When these virtual waves reach the pond’s border, they extend into the water by precisely controlled mechanical actuators.
Tis interaction is interesting because it feel like you controlling the waves just by movement.
The work commissioned by Otto Bock HealthCare referenced a form of communication that has almost been consigned to oblivion: the use of a mirror and sunlight to exchange information over long distances.
The installation spans a corridor of 7-metres width. On the left wall one hundred prosthetic hands arranged in a matrix revolve around their own vertical axis, the movements being controlled by motors. The mirrors they hold reflect the beam of a strong light across the space and onto the opposite wall.
The information that you can create using the mirror reflection is really useful for something dangerous that happened in any disaster or communication with anyone. The lights can also give a nice decoration that can be used any occasion.
In my work I want to give a message across my interaction which people of all ages can be involved.
I want to show a image but for my views I think I want it to attract more young children with my design.
Electorland is a team that creates objects, interactive experiences and large-scale public art projects.
Each project is site-specific ans may employ a broad range of media, including light, sound, images, motion, architecture and interactivity.
Studio Roosegaarde is the social design lab of artist Daan Roosegaarde with his team of designers and engineers.
The studio creates interactive designs that explore the dynamic relation between people, technology and space. The studio develops its own technology and is internationally known for interactive projects such as Dune, Intimacy and Smart Highway.
CRYSTAL are hundreds of crystals of light which brighten when you touch them. People can play and share their stories of light.
Artist Daan Roosegaarde calls them “Lego from Mars”. The name refers not only to its futuristic design, but also to its endless potential to play. CRYSTAL has been previously exhibited in Amsterdam, Paris, Moscow and is now permanent in Eindhoven NL.
Each Crystal contains LEDs that are wirelessly charged via a magnetic floor. Once visitors start adding, moving or sharing Crystals, the basic breathing of the Crystals changes. The lighting behavior of crystals moves from ‘excited’ to ‘bored’, keeping visitors curious.
The two pages at the right corner shows different designs that I looked which interacts with people.
Research
There’s so much happening with 5- and 6-year-olds. They’re learning to tie their shoes, practicing cutting out shapes with scissors, some are even ready to ride a bike. There’s a big continuum of development at these ages, and that applies to children’s reading development, too. Some kids are not yet ready to read, while others are reading independently. And that’s as it should be, according to both developmental and literacy experts.
I've looked at different popular children's book. From using these book I want to create a interactive screen book.
The book will have a little tablet screen installed so whenever they change the page you will still see the tab screen on it. This tab only starts once you open the book it will show an image that relates to the story. Once the reader reads the book aloud an animation will start playing that follows the story.
This will help the child to understand more better of what's going on in the book. There will be no sound but just a silent animation. The person who reads it will be the voice that starts the animation so it can be the parent, gaurdian, teacher or the child itself. It will also help kids with certain disability when they don't pay attention while the book is being read.
Books that are popular for children's and can be recreated into a interactive book are: Each Peach Pear Plum, The Jolly Postman or Other People's Letters, The Snowman, Gorilla, Would You Rather?, Dear Zoo, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato, Princess Smartypants, Hairy Maclary from Donalson's Dairy, Room on the Broom, Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Where's Spot?, Dogger, Lost and Found, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, I Want My Hat Back, Not now, Bernard, Meg and Mog, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, I Want My Potty, Where the Wild Things Are, The Cat in the Hat and The Elephant and the Bad Baby.
There are interactive children's book such as ebooks, online books, pop up books and playing around image's in the book. My concept is a original concept that would be more interesting and imaginative for young children's.
