I am looking forward to synthesizing this into the installation. Most of my time, so far, has been spent researching theories and learning the technology. The next phase of my project I will need to learn more about triggers and effects to make the live view become interactive and engage the viewer. There is a good user network and forum on the Troikatronix website and I am just beginning to understand the language that they speak there. This was more complicated than I had anticipated as I ventured into things beyond the basic tutorials. I have been exploring the Kinect camera as a live input and mixing video and still images. I have made progress towards having the skills and knowledge to create an interactive installation. I came to this project with a good base knowledge of image making technology (most of the Adobe Creative Suite programs), and an overview of Isadora.

It advocates the concurrent use of both body experience and complex symbol representations and underscores the cognitive skills, emotion value and body capability of the human of active participation. It stresses the process whereby people “appropriate” technology rather than the mastery of tools.

Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty for their explanations of phenomenology and the understanding of how we experience ourselves in the world. I will reflect and struggle with incorporating these influences in the next phase of the creation of my project. The installation will be presented with a theater production of the play 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane.Ĭonnecting my work to a theoretical frame (in previous assignments), has inspired me to dig deep as an artist and build a foundation and synthesis of current and historical ideas. Images will have been created in collaboration with Suffolk County Community College photography students and faculty. This project began two months ago with an interest in exploring the embodiment of the viewer/audience in an interactive installation. I have learned so much, and look forward to exploring even more! I would also like to work towards a clearer narrative. That point was very powerful and I would like to use that as an entry point to connect the work to the interactor. I am inspired, for my next work, to build on that “ah-ha” moment when the interactor realizes they are in control. This would include better lighting, space clearly marked as “live” action area and props (as Regina suggested). I would also like to improve the physical setting, so the quality of the projection would be better and environment would enhance the interactor’s immersion into the work.

Also, the interaction is “fun” and so special attention needs to be given to this component- especially when working with topics like psychosis.

It was necessary for me to give verbal instructions to the interactors- I would have liked to integrate this information into the project to give it a more natural flow. The presentation of the installation helped me learn where I would like to make changes for the next project. I was successful in creating the look and interactions I had envisioned, as well as integrating additional sound elements, after a first run through and peer review. Much of the focus of my project has been on this process and the challenges of bringing to life specific abstract ideas. I have found a surprising satisfaction in calculating mathematical formulas to create an interactive experience. I have used the Kinect sensor/camera and have been able to isolate parts of the body for tracking.

I have learned a lot about the program Isadora and how to trigger images and sound with interaction. I started with many goals and theories and a desire to learn a new technology. The process of creating this installation “Ask me…” has been an interesting and rewarding journey.
