Free Notes taken from the Masterclass

Philippe Rahm:

以微观的角度（物理，生物，化学）重现人体内的体验

At the micro point of views(physic,biology,chemistry)to reconstruct the inter-experience of human body.When people entering a room,they may see/hear nothing,but they can feel the pressure of air,attack of heart or some emotional feelings.

Golan Levin:

做任何有兴趣的事

Do whatever interesting.

Find out the common things and collect them.

People can interact with the artwork to explore themselves,to find out the unknown potential of themselves,and to really enjoy to experience the interaction.

David Rokeby:

To view the basic element from the different points of views

From different angles,directions,and different experiences of people who interact with the artwork.

Generally speaking,the master class is so great and I'm very glad to get involved to meet the mind-liked artists and meet the great artist who I'm really interested in.

I would say I quite enjoy to communicate with artists from different fields and great artist.I learn a lot(as I mentioned above) during the workshop.I really enjoy listening the lecture from the masters.However,there are also much time which are devoted into the software teaching. Unfortunately,I am quite familiar with the two main software that they are teaching,Max/msp and processing.I already did many concerts with max/msp and processing for 3 years.So this part of teaching software really make me feel bored and tired.

In the final project,different from other participants which will try to work with softwares,I just want to write and print out some work descriptions which indicate that many normal objects in the laboratory are the interactive artworks.

When I started my work,I found that the interactive art works do not mean there should be electronic equipments or softwares involved.

If I can make people feel funny and interesting and interact with the normal objects,why bother me to create complicated program or robotic stuff?

交互门 Jiao Hu Men

In this work,you can interact with the door which is well designed for people who want to get the special experience of interactive art.This work totally re-define the conception of what interactive art could be.

The work is inspired by the daily gesture such as getting on or off the bus,opening and closing the door,stepping in or out the room,etc.

You can interact with this work by simply open and close the door,feeling the power of door,experiencing the power of daily life.

交互窗帘 Jiao Hu Chuan Lian

In this work,you can interact with the curtains and enjoy the kinetic-movements.There are many sensors placed in those black curtains.You can run into different directions,the curtain will follow your movements.Also,you can just stand still,staring at the curtain very carefully,then you can find the tiny movements mainly generated by different sensors.

By non-changing the appearance of the black curtain,but changing the interior of them,I want to give them the lives to be active/interactive with the human interference.

交互椅子 Jiao Hu Yi Zi

This is one of my the most excited works.You can change your postures and postitions to generate effects when you sitting on the chair.There are 10 modes of interactive moods I've designed previously.

As chair is one of the most basic furnitures in either public space or at home,I propose to change conception of people's attitude to be the most familiar furniture in daily life,allowing people to pay attention to them,to interact with them,and to gain the new experience when sitting on them,
