Description

What do you want you Instagram look like? Are we really who we are on social media network? Human In Mirror will give the user a special interaction experience on the social media concept. The interaction starts when user stand on the acrylic rugs. Based on the social filter they choose (Ep: popular, famous, rich, etc), different video will show up underneath the transparency mask generated by facial recognition of the user him/herself. When the interaction finish, everything turn off while the mirror is on the other half of the screen the whole time during interaction.

The Factory

Watch Breakfast get made in this cutting edge factory.

Description

The Factory tells the story of our lives by putting on display the beauty of monotony. In the first section we watch as a conveyor belt delivers a beautiful and pristine egg to be mutilated, squashed and smashed into the next section of our production line which turns our egg into a beautiful, pristine and evolved new version of itself. On the last screen we see the egg become whole once “eggain”, completing its metamorphosis and reincarnating back into its former self. The viewer sees the moment of it’s destruction played over and over, and witnesses the beautify of death and rebirth as it is put back together in the final section of the piece. Screen based animations are synced up with the physical movement of our egg props, blurring the lines between what is real and what is not. We invite the viewer to find pleasure and beauty in these blurred lines, allowing them to contemplate why this surreal set up is so satisfying to witness. The Factory utilizes arduino, stepper motors, home brewed conveyor belts, maxmsp, Wekinator (a machine learning program that we use to recognize the motion of the egg to play the animations in sync), and lighting effects to create an awesome and most importantly fun spectacle for the eyes and imagination. In this iteration we will be using a more advanced lighting rig, sounds effects, a music component, as well introducing a new interactive button which will allow the viewer to view other production lines at the factory. This robust project encompasses a lot of what ITP has to offer, and we are proud to show it! This project was originally for Pop-Up Windows.

ClockooBird is an interactive window display that imagines the life of the modern cuckoo bird.

Description

Throughout history, the main function of a timepiece was to simply tell time. Now the modern timepiece notifies us not only of the hour but when confronted with texts, emails, appointments, and a myriad other alerts. ClockooBird imagines what life is like for the modern cuckoo bird, no longer on a set schedule but always required to be ready at a moment’s notice.
