pardon the fact it may be sparse on information in some parts, or even less than appealing at the idea of multiples in the same area. but i wanted to cover bases as best as possible with this first set of ideas. here they are:
Digital art/new media Ideas Post
Augmented Reality- this is using video cameras on phones, or ipod, ect... to run a program that reads symbols and allows you to replace things with other things. i'll explain with my next couple ideas
- Using Augmented Reality, Replace campus symbols, markers, and other campus related stuff with other either useful information, satire, or a statement (IE taking pictures of the fitness center, then having the program recognize it as a large stack of cash)
- Using this same technology to replace symbols in the Bangor area for some fun in the town (coke signs replaced with pepsi, mcdonalds with burger king, home depot with best buy, ect.)
- create 3d works that react to the camera when you look at certain symbols or images ( having a recorded image or video play only when the camera recognizes the image.)
- use Augmented Reality to give information about locations in maine of great importance.
- create a project where you attach computer parts to buildings, trees, and other things that don't actually work with them, to give critisism of our dependancy on electronics.
- use a digital camera to take pictures of not digital things (a cue as to part B of assignment 3)
- design a birdhouse that played images into the birdhouse, with a camera to watch what happened when the birds saw the changes.
- set up a proximity flash/camera on a well travelled walkway at night, and when people walk by have it take pictures.
- using the same idea as the idea above, then line that road with posted pictures taken from the camera.
- line a road with several cameras that are programmed to understand the difference between colors of a car, that will snap a picture of a certain colored car when it goes by
- I'd like to create non-descript markers for over-marked hiking trails and/or biking trails (IE: this is a road. these are bushes. you're heading this way, ect.)
photo shoot/gallery related
- take photos of furniture and print the pictures on sandpaper
- take photos of trees and print them on leaves
- take photos of mexican food and print it on tortillas
-Take digital copies of famous paintings and print them on plain 8 1/2 X11 inch paper, and hang them in an art gallery
- use different compositions to print on to try to remake pieces of art more interesting, new or complex (print to the things above; like leaves, sandpaper, food, for example)
-change the backgrounds of all the computers in the computer clusters on campus to be pieces of a puzzle.
-create a campus wide game that involves players to visit computer terminals to get the next piece of the puzzle.
- design an exhibit where a gallery is set up for looking at pictures, only it's sectioned with funhouse glass, so people have to watch where they're walking
- take comics that already exist, and scramble the letters to form a new script for each panel
-i'd like to take a large amount of broken glass, mix it with glue or some sort of adhesive, and create pieces with it
- i'd like to go to a junkyard, and create a car masterpiece using parts i find there to create a more unique and overall more interesting car.
- i'd like to sit and find CD's and records that match with movies, re-dub over them, and have movie nights with them.
-I'd like to create a piece that enhances a piece of art from my nephew, with photoshop or illustrator
- i'd like to tear apart a printer so i can use it to create an art gallery of printings that involves having to move the inkjet by hand instead of the paper moving underneath it
-create a series of webcomics that follows the life of a young and budding new media major?
- create a toilet that changes color when you pee in it.
- use the air dryers in the union to make some kind of crazy swirling air tye dye art.
- try to create art through mold by letting water seep into dead wood in patterns you apply the water daily
- find different substances that burn different colors, then apply them to a bon fire (you know how some metals burn like green, blue, yellow, red, ect. essentially create some sort of metal oxide that would burn that color)
