Interactive installation

I really feel like crying because my project for Beyond the screen seems like falling apart. First of all I have big problem with making Flash to play my movie when mouse pressed. Thanks Ben gave me another idea to try with processing ..and meantime I am taken away by internet based research for my dissertation. Of course the most interesting bits are interactive installations again.. not even related with subject of my work – but it is so fascinating to discover few new pieces … It feels like that work is so inspiring !

Great example with spectacular space for installation! Abudance, Camile Utterback, 2007Amazing and provocative in my opinion Nancy Burson and her old now Human race machine.

and unexpected work of Knifeandfork = Sue Huang+Brian House or should I say playfulness projects of this group? MOCA Grand Prix as a example http://vimeo.com/4713773

after V&A

After a visit in Decode exhibition in V&A last Thursday I feel that there was something missing to impress most of the students. First of all I am concern about professionally of some installations because not only one but 3 works where in reparation while most of them had to small space to interact. For me there is only one piece which  is standing out from others and I managed to photograph. Not impressed but quite satisfied I started to look for more inspiring installations around the world (think internet)- so thanks to web browsers I managed to find some interesting pieces of german artist who mostly graduated last year. index.php?id=148 Personally some of this work are more interesting than V&A exhibition installations. And mainly because we have bigger expectations when going to the gallery. And on the other hand those the installation in gallery have to cost millions to be impressive? Was that the case in Decode exhibition? Why exhibition failed for digital art students and was amazing for other viewers who haven’t seen real-time digital installation before?

bubbly project?

beyond the screen, interactive installation

I can’t decide which idea to choose !

My inspirations:

there is so many questions

I have to admit that yesterday session with all students talking about dissertation was very useful. It is great to hear someone’s opinion on your subject and first of all that gives you lots of ideas. I finally managed to decide about my topic. In my dissertation I would like to develop questions about religion vs. internet and digital media art. It is fascinating to search for helpful materials but also quite disappointing when google files seems to be all the time the same. I have to focus on my subject and write, write, write…. i have so much pleasure to do that but of course it would be so much easier in my native language:( On the other hand it is a big challenge and a learning curve to write my dissertation in English and practicing here on my blog gives more confidence too!

sound

It is amazing to discover how many sounds we ignore in every day life! I reckon it happens mainly because our hearing is so selective. We choose what we want to hear in the jungle of noisy machines and hyperactive chatters. For a sound related project we choose – library – having in mind to recreate space sounds. After just few seconds of recording and listening we discover that library is not so quite as we thought. There is so many new noises ready to be record. After one hour of deciding and recording we pick the best ones and next day we worked to create one main sound effect from the library!

all connected

I am trying to put all my thoughts together- my all ideas seems to be very tight and similar to each other. I always try to send the message trough my work. If I think about my new ideas I think what should I say first of all. Working on my project this time I have to admit was not different – I found that sentence ONE LLIFE. LIVE IT. And that made me think about short movies, collage stories. I would like to make it easy to understand and by adding interactive part to my project I would be able to give  the audience chance to decide which part of collage they would like to see first. that interactive part is kind of game between audience. I like to push people to think about their decision and what steps that brings next. Like in my first social media related project I wanted people to start to believe in their dreams but  now I would like to point  destiny and power of our decisions. What actually create our future? Do we have chance to choose how our life would look like? IS destiny prejudge? I think discovering new ideas and working towards final project helps me to understand not only power of our mind but also gives me time to learn about my nature as a ‘artist’.

Thank you

It was great ))-finally I managed to set up event of flying lanterns. It was on Sunday (31 May) evening and lots of Facebook friends came too. It was windy but we still managed to release all 40 lanterns with people wishes on. Event didn’t look like in Thailand but for Brighton beach still impressive, have to admit:) Some of the people who joined us where strangers who just passing by asked me about whole idea and very pleased joined our celebration. New people joined Facebook group   Eye Fly High after seeing all flying lanterns  and that’s fantastic!

I would like to say :

Thank you !!!

to everyone who joined event and to every one who liked the idea!!!
