Description

• Motivation

My artistic interests mainly revolve around the frivolous and care free aspects of life. In an effort to reflect these ideas in my midterm project, I propose to create an anthropomorphized flower sleeping in a garden.

• Interactive paradigm

I would like to utilize a computer mic as the mode for interaction. The goal is to create a user interface that is as transparent as possible. I would like the visualization to appear as a logical index of user input. Basically the user would blow into the mic and the interaction would translate into "virtual" wind blowing onto the flower. Depending on volume and duration, the flower would experience a light breeze or gale force winds. I would also like to include varying facial expressions for the flower in response to the wind.

• Technical Description

I would like to create the animations in flash and somehow incorporate them into processing.
