I really like enjoyed this piece because it raises a lot of questions and ideas of what can be done with interactive arts. The fact that they are using a Wiimote as part of the gun brings up the marketing value. With a lot of these interactive arts, it always brings up that this could…

I thought this video was pretty cool. I liked how you can control the lights and how fast the lights go. I also definitely thought the arrangement of colors was pretty awesome. I think it would have been even more great if the controller was hooked up through some kind of instrument that when you…

I’m also not sure how involved we will get with hardware. I chose this video because I would like to produce an artwork similar to this. The control of the leds is geometrically calculated and hue control. Gaining the knowledge to produce , or understand, an artwork like this one is what I’m eager to…

This piece reminded me a lot of the other works we’ve been looking at. It manipulates an image taken by camera by morphing it visually into a type of mosaic. ( I supposed this is called a Voronoi diagram). It’s appealing to look at the ever-changing tiles, making the work successful ing being entertaining. I…

I don’t what kind of circuit work we’re going to be doing in class, but I found this video to be pretty interesting. It’s a robotic fish engineered by scientists at Essex University in the UK. The fish is put in a special tank full of water and actually swims around very convincingly. All of…

The artist created this flexible display to break away from the “stiffness and coldness” of touch-screen technology. the display is made up of foam and sensors which are sensitive to pressure. there are four different applications built in that allow you to explore and play with different object types. It kind of reminds me off…

An interactive installation using both sound and light, a 2006 piece from Dutch media artist Daan Brinkmann. It reacts to motion, so you don’t have to even touch it; if you watch the video to the end, even a dog rolling around in front of it gets a reaction out of the wall of lights….

I thought this was one of the most interesting displays that I’ve ever seen. It detects motion and transcribes it onto multiple and small LED displays, then uses those coordinates to map out an outline of your body. As you can see in the video, there are many adjustments to change the effect of the…

I’ve been exploring the work of data visualization artists and found some interactive ‘sketches’ by Marcos Weskamp. These are simple but elegant building blocks, and you can spend a lot of time just playing with one 200×200 pixel square. I couldn’t figure out how to embed a java doc so the picture posted here is…

The amount of collected data that is stored caught my attention. It seems that the software records the strokes and then acts them out. Real time with room for multiple enactment of the interaction. I would like o be introduced to a feature like this. The graphics were good, using characters, but i think they…

This is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen done with PD. It’s stuff like this that make a little more sense as to why PD was created. I knew PD could make use of your web cam but I’m not sure what the kid was wearing on his fingers and how PD picked…

I thought that this clip was really interesting so i decided to blog it. In this video the user moves and the computer turns the physical motion in to drum beats through a drum machine. The video is similar in ways to the dancing with interactive sound video we saw in class. The main difference…
