Question 1:
After reading The Art of Interactive Design, in what way do you think that the circuits you built today include interactivity? Please explain your answer.
After reading the art of interactive design I could argue that The three circuits we built were interactive. The first circuit made a sound after one clicked a button. The code helped the process of reaction. We click and we get a sound which is the response. There was an input, a process, and an output. The second circuit, similarily, had an input, a process, and the output was the light turning on and off. The third circuit was also similar in the sense that the output was the dimming of the light. They all had input, process, and output.
Question 2:
How can Interaction Design and Physical Computing be used to create Interactive Art? You can reference Zack Lieberman’s video or any other artist that you know.
During the summer I went to a futuristic art expo in NY. I remember being mesmerized by an automatic green screen. The point of it was to stand in the middle of a giant screen and a green screen on the other side. The result would be instant photoshop. You would stand up in a position that the screen in front of you told you and the screen would tell you where you had to move or whether you were doing it right. Once you got into the optimal position, the screen that had a camera that could track your movement. would inform you of it. Then, you would see yourself in the screen being photoshopped in crazy scenarios like riding an elephant in Tanzania or being at the top of a giant mountain. I would say that if you actually got into the optimal position that the screen instructed you to, the results looked pretty realistic. This form of art is of course interactive. because its almost as if you were having a conversation with the screen.
