MADE IN CHINA

During the master class,Golan talked about collection as artwork,then showing us many works of his students,which really inspired me and I couldn't help writing down tiny proposals!

Here is one,called,Made in China. When other people were busy with learning Max,I went online to see what could I do.Previously,I had a idea to collect 100 products that not made in China(last night in the bathroom,I just found the swing-ban is made in Germany... excited!)So I entered"Made in China"in google,and switched to Picture Mode,then chose to show only Black and White color pictures.

There are three categories:people,symbols,photos.
I downloaded them all then overlapped them with the transparent rate 50%

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.
For the wiki-page,you can check here.

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.

交互梯 Jiao Hu Ti

In this work,you can interact with the ladder by moving it,then you can make music of your own.This interactive ladder can generate 100 different electronic-acoustic sound designed by Wang Shihui.

By moving it to different directions,you can create at least 100 patterns.The basic patterns are produced on the basis of natural and environmental sound,which are always make up various frequencies.

In this piece of work,you can experience the beauty of sound that surrounding us in the daily life.

交互墙 Jiao Hu Qiang

In this work,you can interact with the wall which is the main elements in this laboratory.

By giving the wall with certain pressure,you can gain the interesting experience between your body and wall.You can feel the physical tensity that specific designed for human body.You can not see or hear this power,just pushing the wall and feeling it,the more power you give the wall,the more pleasure and strength you can get.

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,

交互植物 Jiao Hu Zhi Wu

In this work,I want to show the intimacy between people and nature.When you move the plant,it will generate various movements.You can be quite creative with this piece of work because you can move it by many different ways.Just give a try,and experience the intimacy with the natural plant.

project proposal#1 from Masterclass

根据声音的不同频段创造不同的情感体验
用人耳无法检测到的超声波和次声波来define空间
当人进入房间的时候 没有听到声音 但是因为超声波和次声波会影响身体的频率
所以使人获得一种情感体验
好象是进入游泳池里的感觉
当在浅处的时候 只是一般的感觉 但随着水深增加 人开始感觉到压力
specific research will be taken in the later time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
利用共振原理创造一个结构/建筑 只需要一点触动就可以产生巨大的效果
只要频率改变 一切结束 结构/建筑将不复存在
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PR的基本原理就我理解来看 是一种化学/物理/生物反应上面的原型重现 他创造一个房间 将这样的物理/情感体验重现 让人在不同的location获得同样的体验
经过严密的科学调查 做出来的作品 总是令人敬佩
同样也完全启发了我的创作新思路!
抓住事物的本质 才是完美作品的体现!
经过这次体验 让我完全肯定之前的创作想法 keep on working~~~

双城游戏

那个时候在上海,我的好朋友在杭州,都要去看一个展。这个展为一展双城,所以同一个展是同时在杭州和上海展出。

于是构想了有趣的行为,只是因为我好友怕被当成神经病,未遂,只是一直记着这个构思,如下:

1.A,B两人先比赛谁先到展地,如果A先到,就A为主导,反之亦然

2.现在A通过短信方式,告诉B应该怎么做,比如A自己向前走了10步,所以B也要跟着做

3.通过几次主导以后,互换角色,B为主导,行为如上

想通过这样的方法,把两个在异地的好友联系起来,并且一直喜欢看到当别人控制你的时候,会做出什么疯狂的事情来

The Matrix of Musicboxs

排列音乐盒的矩阵,比如,6×6的一组,如果有条件可以做得很大,可以让人们穿行在其中

构想是,当人经过每一个音乐盒的时候,通过红外感应而制动音乐盒的摇杆而开始放音乐

因为人是有顺序经过,所以音乐盒是会依次放音乐,所以形成类似fague一样的音乐

问题:1.如何找到比较小型的电制动装置?

2.音乐盒音乐的选择需要设计

3.红外感应的距离问题

草图如下

Untitled

通常喜欢悬挂类的作品 自己也做过1件

从碰撞可以发出声音得到灵感 提出以下方案:

将用瓷烧成各种自然的小物件(比如贝壳,树叶,小鸟什么的...)悬挂在几条长度不同的绳子上

绳子做钟摆运动,需要电制动,算好时间

问题是:1,瓷做的小物碰撞虽然会有声音,但也有被碰碎的危险,如果瓷不能用,就用汤匙等生活中可以用到的钢铁小物代替

2,电制动的机械钟摆运动的时间需要确定,根据发声效果来确定

草图如下



一件好的作品

应该 足够激发人对美,自然,爱,宇宙的想象
若是好的作品 在它的雏形阶段就应该具有如此特征
当它成长 它的张力和气场也随之增长
看过的一些作品 纯粹是因为场地庞大而庞大
若是缺少了场地 什么都不是了
喜欢的作品 就是凭直觉第一眼爱上的
若是第一眼爱不上 就算是名家作品 就算了解了背景等等 也没有用
所以 好的作品 是需要人第一眼就爱上 而不是靠文字描述 来吸引人的
若是需要靠文字描述 再加工 已经违背了创作的初衷
可悲的是 很多人就是这么在做
现在作品越来越多 市场越来越大 却很少再有作品能够感动人
这次去den haag看到的几件作品 虽然数量少 但每件至今还能记得
在上海的时候 虽然一直在看展 参加艺术节 但能够记住的作品 四年下来 也就这点
也许好的作品 本来就是少的
但不能停止努力
并且
需要用心
一切需要用心 观众就能通过作品 看到你的心
这是最重要的事
