Final Idea of Thesis Prototype
This
main subject is on the controlled object and device. This image is about string
puppets. This puppet is controlled by control bar. Marionettes,
or "string puppets," are suspended and controlled by a number of
strings, plus sometimes a central rod attached to a control bar held from above
by the puppeteer. The control bar can be either a horizontal or vertical one.
Basic strings for operation are usually attached to the head, back, hands (to
control the arms) and just above the knee (to control the legs). This form of
puppetry is complex and sophisticated to operate, requiring greater manipulative
control than a finger, glove or rod puppet.
An
important point to notice here is that the story depends on movement of puppet.
Just a small but nevertheless important point. We can make a image or sound or
story by controlling something. That is what I want to focus on.
The focus of thesis is on a device. We
everyday use various devices. Computer may be the best example of this.
Computer work by using various I/O devices. In Computer system, Communication
using device is an important aspect to communication. And a mouse is used to
control something in computer system. A mouse typically controls the motion of
a pointer in two dimensions in a graphical user interface. The mouse turns
movements of the hand backward and forward, left and right into equivalent
electronic signals that in turn are used to move the pointer.
But analog signals of control bar and digital
signals of mouse are different form. With analog communications, data is
represented as a continuous signal while data is converted to a numeric,
discrete signal with digital communications. Also They controls something. In
this, That is similar to the puppet’s control bar.
This goal of thesis is
making a total interactive media platform based on technique of mouse for
playing a media performance. Also That is various approaches on actuator controlled
by mouse.
The truth is that most
media artist and performer are working based on the high technology. So theirs
works is often type of digital form.
Applying visual Art to
pop music performance is gradually increasing. A video editor which simply
mixes a number of image was mainly used in the past, but now various computer
software make it easy to control visual art by development of computer
technology, and it became possible for you to express unique and inimitable
idea as well. Compare that a complicated equipment which makes them spend much
expense and time was only used in the big size of concert hall in early days, a
small and simple one now helps you easily apply your idea to Visual art in Pop
music performance even in the small club. The technique of Visual art is being
developed gradually especially by using computer.
I am very interested
in analog sound and motion and image.
