| We are scanning the landscape of the city in linear TIME! | ||
| We are video-capturing in processing, and it is going to get us a captured image in linear time.. We are going to shoot buildings in Manhattan so that the picture can show a building in different timeline. Final output will be just a printed image. | ||
| Background: | BASIC CONCEPT + slit-scan imagery We experimented with capturing only one small slit of the camera's and adding it to the end of a image compiled in real-time using processing, allowing us to create extremely long panoramic images. + time-scanning Basic concept is capturing video in time and saving the captured image panorama. We are so much attracted to video capturing in time because if we can capture video for a long time, we would get "TIME-SCANNED" image. If there is sun or moon, we will track it and get a bunch of sunS in one picture which will tell people that the image is taken in time. We actually found that many artists have been working with slitscanning for several decades. Those projects can be seen on reference section. What we have in difference is we are using it for a specific subject. +Processing as subject-oriented program We are going to scan a landscape in Manhattan, a spot that we can be surrounded by the buildings that are so densely filling New York City. We will put the scanned images into a long, single print. , Why we chose a specific subjet and still image as a final outcome is that we want Processing to work as a tool, completely. Therefore, our code, our program will be "SUBJECT-ORIENTED" program.Then processing would get its true meaning of being a "tool." | |
| Audience: | ITP people and those who come to see ITP Winter Show. We suppose they would be just like viewer in a gallery in traditional way. | |
| User Scenario: | There would not be much physical interaction between people and our project. But we are very sure that our image will tell something about time and the space and it will cause interaction in other ways. | |
| Technical System Description: | We made a motor and controlling device that we can hook our video and tripod up on it. What it is doing is basically controlling the speed of video camera and helping it move stable. We tested it outside and you can see the prototype at http://itp.nyu.edu/~jmo297/itp/icm/processing/final_project/final_project.htm | |

| Conclusions: | Conceptually, we are using processing as a complete tool and it gets us to get an idea that how tools can be used and what they are for from the basic. Technically, we learned how to pic chip can communicate with processing controlling processing and back to itself. We are using stepper motor and a gear box to control the camera. | |
