Black Light Test

We decided to try out making DIY black light as opposed to buying coloured LEDs to illuminate the buttons as the buttons will be put in a dark room.

I tried making it from an internet step by step and lo behold it works.

Concept and Artist Statement

Shape Me

This is a stand alone video installation. It features a split human that are from different generation (age gap). There is a table in front of the projection with 5 buttons of different shapes and colours. The diversity of shape and colours are to represent emotions and as the visitor interact with the buttons, the human will display emotions from the current monotone expression. Sounds and effects from the video are also effected by the interaction. Technically ware to use Makey Makey as the sole interactive technology to make the buttons and Resolume Arena 5. As for the setup, this installation are to be installed in a dark room to have a clear projection and black light to illuminate the buttons. This installation are meant to provoke thoughts form the audience as to incorporate human emotions with something as physical as shapes and colours. Hence, Shape Me is about making the abstract physical and known from the unknown

Shapes and emotions

Colours applied to shapes

Sketches based on research

Happy feelings usually comes with soft curves and bright colours but red represent aggression although it is bright colour. Negative feelings usually represented with sharp edges. For sadness, it depended on the weight of lines or the shape itself.

Evolution Of Behaviour

For my artwork, I will be focusing on this topic.

Comparing Generation Z & X Lifestyle Behaviours

Gen Z

It is certain that connectivity will be an integral part of the Generation Z lifestyle.

Being the first “always connected” generation. With information at their fingertips + communicate through social media / video calls/ new media tech.

Their communities will be more diverse with close to half of the population made up of racial or ethnic minority groups. And cultural integration will have reach its comfort level.

-

Gen X

This generation was more conservative directed. Majority of the population was highly dependant on major mass medium. Due to the inabundence of mediums and also information is not as accessible as how generation Z has it. In terms of communication they communicate through traditional mediums such as phone calls/letters/radio.

The communities they are in are less racially integrated but instead they live in assimilation culturally. Quite diverse in racial terms but not as open yet as generation Z.

Through these facts that I have collected through studies that I have read through blogs & articles.
(See references in www.21132113.tumblr.com )

I would like to share my conclusion to my research.

I found that as generations pasts, these future torchbearers are constantly evolving.
In sense that, they are evolving through behaviours. An evolution in social knowledge & responsibilty, cultural integration tolerance & in the way their emotions work as well. (comparing this to Generation X & Z) from their previous heir.

Therefore I would like to relate my soon to be artwork with the term of evolution in behaviours.

Canal 3XL | Montage By No-Domain

"The project No-Domain have developed responds to the fragmentation, break down, detachment and intervention of media (images, graphics, etc). And once the media has been synthesized into its most elemental structure and manipulated and altered, a collision between them has been created, reaching erratic and anguishing images that are visually spectacular. This is the so called Graphic Artillery that has been used as a starting point to develop the whole collection of pieces."

The idea was to generate a 2.0 DIY project based on experimental digital processes as a contemporary expression. As a result, the clips developed as a "Graphic Artillery" are combined into a wide range of editable after effects projects that can be operated within the TV station and can evolve infinitely

1923 aka Heaven (by Max Hattler)

The reason i was inspired by these artworks is not by the message, but more toward the visual style that was implemented in the video. The Graphics seem like they are constantly evolving and progresses throughout the entire performance.

I was inspired by these artworks that I have found on the net.

Call Me Maybe?

Call Me Maybe?

My idea for this project was a interactive wall between audience and the artwork.

I'm going to do projection of human figure on a wall.

The audience is going to interact with the human figure in front of him/her.

I had one idea but different ways to get the result.

The objective of this project is to obtain the reaction of the human figure depends on what you did to the human figure.

for example,If you give her a thumb up button,she will react happily and say thank you to you while when you add her as friend,you will get a hi from her,and also when you give her a report,she will be angry with you.

This idea is to study the reaction on how generation Z today with their social media and how generation Z "communicate" with their friends or family.

The social media "button" such as like button,dislike button,comment or "seen" can cause reactions from peoples.A lot peoples on internet always want to get attentions from other peoples around the country/world,they post their selfies to get as much like as they can so they will feel better.

I saw a forum article which start a poll where let forum members to vote what will you do if when you get no number of "like" of your post,some peoples say they will care while some people does not care and some peoples say they already used to it(zero number of like). 

Precedent Studies (Technology:Communication)

Call Me from Stephan Thiel on Vimeo.
Interactive installation realized for the production »Mobil« (written by Sergi Belbel) that transports the plays main topic of mobile communication to the streets of Potsdam. As a video projection loop, all characters are placed inside the huge front windows of the staging location with the possibility of passersby to call them directly via their mobile phones. When called, a character answers with a short snippet of text over the phone and so promotes the next staging of the production.

A project of the Interfacedesign departement of the University of Applied Sciences Postdam, Germany in cooperation with the Hans-Otto-Theater.
