Ambient Animation – Interactive Art – Intelligent Art
A couple of thoughts spawned directly from this project
An inspiration portal – ideas concepts /phrases bubble in to existence different colours shapes sizes etc waft on by, you can catch them open them up and explore them or just enjoy their patterns as they waft past. Could be connected to rss feeds, twitter social network sites etc or even just image/ video searches of key words.
Aware paintings, paintings that react to environemt , choose palates based on surroundings content changes as a result of motion detection and or ambient noise. Face detection allowing a picture to know when its being looked at react to the presence of people, build up some sort of relation ship with the viewer.
Memory pool, people show images to painting (also email your picture content of interest), it captures them adding aspects of them to future images. weaving scenes out of a collage of images form both recent and distant past.
While working on this project I toyed with things from motion, detection face detection, animation from audio wave forms to mention a few mostly experimening with other peoples experiments. Here is one where I modified a script that created a colour palette from an image.
Its uses a generated palette to change the colours in the sky, add a path to an image or use a web cam (click to grab the image), the sky will slowly morph to the new colours, (If it a big image it will take a while to load), no loading bars gui etc.
** please don’t use Safari if it runs anything like it does on my machine you will see very little.
*** Load image feature only works offline due to Adobes cross domain policy (@#&^*!) At least the camera capture still works.
