Fill me in!

Hi all,

Sorry I couldn't be there yesterday, I had to go to a funeral in London. I sent Andrea an email but I am unsure if she recieved it. Is the post about yesterday's minutes below all that I missed? I would appreciate if someone could let me know if anything important was missed as don't want to be out the loop! Thanks :)

See you around soon,

Sophie

Don't have time next week to get any work done, so thought I'd do some today instead. Quickly filmed tops of buildings a la katy and messed about with it, sped it up, put several screens together, so you end up with a dynamic shape that can be moved about. VERY rough video, but if you use ur imagination you get an idea (oh, and ignore any subliminal swastikas):



I think it was thomson/ thomas cook that did a series of ads on busstops where a country was shown like a world (extreme fish-eye view) with its landmark on top. Can't find a picture, but if anyone remembers? Also, anyone remember the car advert on E4 - red car that split up into computer-squares + lines?

You could also see how this can be incorporated into steve's motion-traker program? How about the video moving as fast as people walking through the building? Or the shape getting bigger when you move towards it?

Thursday 29 Oct - Minutes

Temporary.
Ideas:
Spyros - Krank, speed up slow down, playing with medium to create this slick advertisemtn look. - Adding an animated character, or quite simply something so tie all the threads of our work.

Katy- Manovich's split screens, incorporating different stills and footage in a random sequence on one projection so that it doesn't become repetitive and creates different relationships.

Steve- Interface linked with interaction. Movement in the space changes and manipulates the selection of footage or stills.

Sid- Projecting two screens across from each other. Creating a more conceptual space for interaction that doesn't need sensors or much hi-tech attention.

AIMS:
Can everyone bring in content for next thursday!! with the topics/themes:
- The City
- Movement/Motion
- Time
- Colour/Black and White

Please generate some images and footage for next week that link to these topics!
- Its all about bringing stuff in and starting to play. Then once we get an idea of what we are interested in individually we can maybe break into groups and start focusing on different areas.

- Have a think about some more permanent ideas for the space as well.

Things to keep in mind and that also need research!
- Site permission, what can we actually do on princess street.
- Cost for equipment, will it be sponsored, what are we looking at using?

Right thats all, hope it all seems right.

This was being shown over in york last weekend. people draw something using a home-made interface + then you can move the drawings around.

Tagtool

Hint

And a hint given from a friend that successfully manages an interesting blog about contemporary and media arts. It would be more helpful and easier for the categorization of posts in the blog if we added tags to our posts that would direct us to each subject.
See ya today!

Motion Tracking and Capturing Brain Activity

These are two videos that I found and are actually really interesting each one for different reasons. We can actually discuss more about them today :)
