This is from Båtmans kassernen, the exhibition building, we went to check it out and tried to plan out a possible exhibition booth or installation.

How about surround?

New day, new ideas! Yesterday our project was all about drumming up cool visual effects on a screen. We experimented with video recordings, actionscript and all kind of shapes and animations, but after a tech support meeting we decided that we didn't want to stay in the last century.

In fact, we are not pleased with this century neither. Our new goal is to create an experience beyond the usual. Surround sound systems are fancy, so are projectors. The combination is beyond fancy - it is the future!

We will build a room with projectors pointed at each wall. Imagine a person moving around in the room. The movements will be tracked by a camera and depending on where in the room the person is, different videos, pictures and animations will be showed on the walls. Add surround sound and music and the concept is complete. Imagine yourself running through the rain forest with chittering monkeys around you, or maybe swimming at the bottom of the sea. All of this - possible in our surround room!

Day2 Preparations

We started off at 10 with a feedback session hosted by 2 students from bm06. Probably important to all of us. This was followed by an eaven more rewarding internal feedback and planning meeting at 11 where we went thru peoples expectations and ambitions regarding the project. It seems that right now everyones on the same path and highly motivated to regain what selfconfidence we lost in the warmup project.

Day one

This was the first day of the project, we got to work with Video and are supposed to invent something new with a webcam. Tricky, tricky!
We started of by discussing some things about how to begin and Erik volunteered to be the project leader, and I think he will do a great job structure things up. Today we are researching to get inspiration for the actual brainstorm tomorrow, and I think I speak for everyone in the group when I say that this was a really good way to get some ideas. During the discussion we cleared the air a bit, and at least I feel now that we can be honest with each other within the group. And I think that will help us in the project process, it will get us more effective.
I feel very eager to get this project started and to make a good work of this thing!
