This show is very interactive...it would be fun to re-create this on a smaller scale maybe.

Really cool art exhibit

These artists created a fur coat using living cells and special equipment. They gave out instructions at the show on how to make your own.

Women to Rule new town

2007-04-13T15:20:00.000-07:00

In China, there is going to be a town that is entirely run by women, and men are the ones that have to work for them and follow their rules. I bet it will become the best town in the world. No war.

You can choose the mood, tempo, and what songs to listen to...in a highly interactive way, of course

Also this is a very clever flash cartoon...

Another example of creative video editing.

Video ideas

2007-02-20T10:37:00.000-08:00

1. Re-create an episode of a popular TV show.
2. Create a regular story line, but have different people play the characters. There is a movie called Palindromes about a young teenage girl who gets pregnant and has an abortion then falls in love with a middle aged man, but 7 different girls of different races and sizes play the main character. I thought it was a really good idea because it breaks the regular movie conventions and shows that situations like these can happen to anyone.

Couple in a Cage

I thought that video was interesting, cause I could tell right from the beginning that they were faking it. I couldn't believe people were falling for it since they were wearing stuff that wasn't exactly authentic. It shows how most people are gullible enough to fall for anything. If they were mad for falling for it, then it would be their own fault.

an installation that has to do with making hand puppets would be fun to go see for sure.

Dungeons and Dragons, LIFE, and Choose-your-own-adventure book.

2007-01-29T08:38:00.000-08:00

Dungeons and Dragons DVD: I thought that a choose your own adventure DVD was a really good idea for an interactive media peice. With the right equipment and software, anyone could easily make their own. I liked the idea that more than one person also got to choose what was going to happen. You could definitely have more than one person interacting with a DVD like this one in an installation, which would make things interesting when a wrong choice led to the death of the characters (when it happened in class, everyone turned on the person who made that decision, and by the time it was my turn, I didn't want to choose the wrong decision myself).

LIFE: I still haven't played the newer version of LIFE, but I played the 70's version, and thought it was very funny to see how salaries, etc. have changed. In the game, a doctor only made 25,000 salary. The game was largely interactive since you had to step on someone to get ahead at least once in the game. People take it personally when you take their fake money away. It's ridiculous. This game would be harder to make into an interactive installation, only 'cause people wouldn't want (or have the time) to sit down and play the game for an hour or so. The only thing I could think of would be to turn the whole room that the installation was in into a LIFE board, so that each step someone took, they could see what their carreer is, when they get paid, etc.

Choose-your-own-adventure Book: These were really interesting since I haven't actually been able to read one yet. The first time I read through, I must have chosen all the right choices, 'cause I defeated the scary mansion and saved the day in about 2 minutes. The other times I purposefully tried to do everything wrong, and I was still able to save the day. It seems like it was impossible to lose. I think if we were to do an installation on a CYOA book, I would make it impossible to win.

Little Video Games

2007-01-24T10:31:00.000-08:00

1. The LCD game was interactive, I think, through the sounds. Everyone could hear everyone else playing and making all the beeping noises. You could hear when people won, and when people lost.
2. The experience was like being a kid again. I played those kinds of games so much growing up.
3. The part of the experience that stands out in my mind is definitely the sounds. There is no other device that makes the sounds of a little hand-held LCD video game.
4. I don't think I disliked anything about it.
5. You could turn the sounds of 20 people playing the games into an art experience. You could also turn the actual playing of the game into an art experience by making random people participate in playing them, like having a sudden LCD hand-held game-a-thon at the exhibit and having an ultimate champion.
