About

Three of us formed as a team in MIDEA program in the University of Sydney in 2019. We aimed at investigating creative interventions into the urban landscape. Through the creative use of digital, interactive technologies, we designed, prototyped and built site-specific installations aimed at encouraging ritualistic, playful and artistic experiences in public space on campus. The final work of the studio was named the Sound of Nature (2019).

The sound of nature (2019) is an interactive dancing prop. It is suggested to be used on the wooden stage at the front courtyard of Wilkinson building on the campus of the University of Sydney. It is made of hundreds of pop sticks. Inside, there are installations of remote controlled blinking fairy lights, programmable wemos board and IMU sensor.

这项作品由吴璇,Aditi Gupta 和我三人完成于2019年,是我们硕士期间的小组项目。通过创造性地使用数字媒体互动技术,我们研究、设计并制作了原型以及建造了针对特定地点的交互装置。旨在迎合校园生活的仪式性,娱乐性和艺术性体验。

“自然之声”是一种可互动的舞蹈道具,取名“自然之声”来自于我们对交互场所的调查研究所得的灵感 -- 威尔金森大楼前院的木制舞台(位于悉尼大学校园),舞台周边更有些许绿植和动听的鸟叫声。

它由数百个木棒搭建而成,内部有可遥控闪烁的童话灯,以及可编程的Wemos板和IMU传感器装置。

Challenges

1. The programming process was complex. There was no previous programming examples on how to connect Arduino board with the Processing system.
2. Hard to find dancers to interview with.
3. Some demands from users cannot be met with based on existing technologies.
4. Site constraints — unpredictable weather, and limited power access.

关于编程,没有示例关于如何连接Arduino板和Processing系统,我们通过不断尝试得以达成二者协议。
其次,在悉尼大学难以找到舞者接收采访。
再者,基于现有技术无法满足用户的某些需求
最后,场地受天气限制,室外舞台可遭受不可预知的天气和有限的电力供应的影响。
