We started this project with a 2-3 weeks course in Processing. Marius Watts tried to teach us how to tweek codes and how to build our own codes. Really interesting and complex.
Kristin and I are working on an exhibit about breathing. Sense the breath (working title) is an exibit that communicates the prosess of breathing. The aim is to make the user conscious about own way of breathing and of the airsupply of the body. To obtain this, the breathing prosess is visuallized through projection of the lungs, and the interaction of this is controlled by the user through a breathing sensor. The main learning outcomes from this exhibit is knowledge and understanding, and attitude and values.
– Knowledge and Understanding
– Attitudes and values
First we started to work on a very advanced and complicated animation using processing. The idea was to project the lungs and the exchange of gases through the lungs on the wall. This way the visitor or the user of the installation could see one of his/her vital body functions projected live on the wall.
But we couldn't get further without help, so we started to work on Plan B. The animation is now more abstract and the connection to the lungs are made physical.
