1160,5 v project

This project was shown at my diploma exhibition(Inner Spaces gallery).
I work on it for last 4 months.
Main idea, was to create the prototype composing digital and anolog components.
I start my interest in the field of interactive environments, during the workshops concentrated in Eyesweb software in 2005. This year we provide a Processing workshop at Interactive Studio( ASP Poznań, made by Paweł Janicki)and it made me change my mind about diploma work. This platform made a prototyping of software much easier than I supposed. I'm not an informatics, so this project was a challenge to me anyway. Another thing which made it possible is Wiring, microcontroler with analog/digital inputs and outputs. That means, that you are allowed to connect some hardware/buttons,etc with computer and steer it thru your own program build in open source platform.
For my diploma I choose a theme of endless loop, but this project goes out of it.
Limitations of space was broke down through the open structure of real time created radio stations. My aim was to create real open interactive environment, and I was looking up for solution that made it never repeats, in the meaning of changing the structure during the exploration by the viewer.
At diploma I presented it in dark space underground, but it wasn't helpful, because of wet air and length of antenna cable(60 m). I had some difficulties with 60 persons in the same time trying it(put their fingers in mechanisms and so on), but finally works properly. My experiment starts a new way for my art. Big thanks people without this would not function as I wanted to. Everything what I've done (code and motor thing), needed a bit of professional look for make it run properly.
Now it works and my mother is proud of me :-).

salud

Last year, we had spent at scholarship in central Spain (Cuenca, Castilla la Mancha).
Project which we began there, it is a puppet animation(unfinished).Here is a beta version of it. Title "SALUD" ('cheers','health'-direct translation, like in polish' na zdrowie'(toast means 'for health':-))
Inspiration was a myth of Salome. It's really far context, but how many of us lose the head for the screen? Passive ours spent in front of tv-set. Just boredom with brain washing.
Anyway we wanted to make something really "light"(Spanish life), but it isn't somehow.
What is left, to compose audio track and make last cuts on it.
