There have always been vanguardists, people with innovative ideas who opened new horizons and trends. For me, this is one of my unrealized projects for Art & Technology.
As a subjective experience, my painting is an illusory world of colors, metaphors and a metaphysical substratum which entices the viewer to discover their own inner world and emotions. Painting will remain a human creativity as long as there is human sensitivity, while the computer will serve the creative imagination by putting together the multitude of technological effects.
In my project, the painting displayed on the touch surface installation will be a sort of projection into a well. Through the thermo and motion sensors, the viewer will interact with ART adding ripples, colors and music. The ideal conditions for presenting ‘THE LIVING WATER’ show are indoors because it requires a Touch Surface installation, a printer for snapshots of the viewer’s experience, a selective internet connection for protection of the program and speakers.
In this technological era of magnificent scientific discoveries, there is a surprisingly increased need for fairy tales. An avid audience for wonders and stories of any kind are just begging for more special visual effects. People want to see magic shows to satisfy their inner child and demand for fantasy.
Sensors
The motion sensor will be used for energy efficiency control (dim the installation when no one’s around, go to screen saver-type slideshow with random transitions, no music; as soon as someone approaches light up gradually start ambient music – volume from 0 to loud enough; brief multilingual message tempting one to touch the surface). Thermal sensor used for color infusion overlay onto the slideshow (kind of like a mood ring; will have various temperatures of the user correlated with certain palettes that get infused in transparent swirls on top of everything; 2 such sensors on opposite sides would enable two users’ colors to collide in the halfway plane thus enabling a team effort; should be shaped as a hand so that user instinctively knows to place their palm there, with near instant effect enforcing their use of it; see potential issue). The optional pulse sensor is some way for incorporating the viewer’s heartbeat; would be great, since then you could send out little ripples across the surface, when you do something exciting with the art, you’ll notice your heart speed up, making one ever more aware of the experience itself
