Mission likely possible

*Project mates, HeeSoo Moon and Jihyeon Kim

In this session, we have brainstormed the primary objects of our 3 possible areas of research:

1. Z-depth moving image and interaction

2. Fashion and telephone interaction

3. Adult entertainment and physical interaction

The details of each subjects to be further developed. On that note, I have been assigned to participate in the Z-depth projects. Aside from theoretical and physical Kinect experimentations, my momental missions would be; the exploration of its artistic motifs and investigation on feasible outputs in the fields of film and publication.

A note from the lab bench

Upon researching existing Kinect experiments, I have encountered two inspiring ongoing works which explore 3D fragments of time and space as well as new form of musical performance.

Considering my background in the film production, my main concentration for this research project could be exploring the interaction between Kinect and moving image to enhance cinematic experience in the field of interaction design. In that sense, its particular needs to be further evaluated following additional explorations on related subjects.

*First Kinect test run on Mac OSX (10.6.7)

Kinect can be easily connected to Mac OSX via cocoaKinect. This fabulous open source application enables us to connect Kinect with Mac without any additional libraries or coding, and more importantly, it does work like a charm.

Introducing Kinect, with which we will be experimenting for our forthcoming projects.

Kinect workshop by Jean-christophe Naour

Kinect Graffiti™ by Jean-christophe Naour

Jean-Christophe Naour, a Seoul based Interaction designer, came in to give us a short introduction to Kinect with which we will be exploring its possibilities and new forms of interaction design this summer. He is currently working on Kinect Graffiti Tool which utilize Kinect to track the motion graffiti. The workshop was highly informative on the whole, his works and experiences were likewise inspiring.

Research blog for public Media Art Installation

Thank you for visiting Labnotes. The prime purpose of this blog is to document developments of one of the "Green Growth" research projects along with the course, Media Art Unit Two, both conducted by Professor David Hall of IDAS (Hongik University) which aims to explore new consumer technologies for the purpose of public installation. During the course of the project, a group of students from IDAS is assigned to experiment various new technologies and art forms as researchers to discover new approaches to public interaction with the emphasis on our artistic expressions. Please sit back and enjoy our compelling journey.
