Had a short meet with Damien yesterday. Discussed about the programming to control the interactive control by the audience.
Couple of good points brought up by him:
- When does the video start? How can we make it impactful, and getting the audience ready that they r gonna watch something? Countdown video?
- Why would someone want to switch between stories? Think about Visual Feedback from the radio dial.
We also discussed a possible way of instigating curiousity from the audience to move the “knob”.
I’ve implemented a basic setup of the discussed idea with placeholder images that has the rough details. All this would work with the Axiom that we have or even the teabox, as long as we can send midi data through to Max.
Do note that crossfading is no longer considered. It would be less complex and asethetically coincide with our video art style if we had them jumping from video to video as they scroll through the “frequency” of each story with static as a connector during tuning.
For the radio dial interface, I’m looking at a couple of pictures of old school radio to think about how we can capture the essense of the radio dial and fuse that with our user interface design.
INSTALLATION:
- Building the radio chasis over a laptop and tea box which will be stacked up with materials holding the other equipment for projection in 3 segments below it.
NOTE:
We have to test the projectors and its angle before designing the pedestal.
Think of other alternatives..42″ Portable TV?
