Project 3: Artist Statement

We created this interactive display to promote Bobby’s music and brand. This project allows the viewer to not only listen to Bobby’s music but use the launchpad to shape the songs to their liking. Too often the view is presented with music and they have to take it how it is, but with our project the song becomes their own. We hope that each user experience will be unique and they have fun playing with the music regardless of the outcome. Each chompchomp logo will represent a song from his recently released EP and there will be audio reactive projections that will make the experience more immersive. 

For this project, we used Bobby’s music and he split each song into sixteen different samples onto the launchpad. We then crafted Bobby’s logo out of foam core four different times in various sizes. Once we got to the black box, we hung up the logos and then I mapped out the projection.

Final Project: Artist Research

Refik Anadol’s Infinity is an intriguing piece that allows the viewer to truly delve into the concept of an infinite space. Through the use of space, light, and sound, Anadol is able to distort the fragile line that is our reality. In a way, by not using familiar spaces in the piece it further disembodies the viewer delving them into the world of infinity. An interesting thought from the description of the piece is that it should be approached as a means of return rather than an escape.   Refik Anadol is a media artist from Istanbul, Turkey and is currently based in Los Angeles, California. His works utilize audio and visual stimulations to create an immersive installation for his viewers. I first heard of him from his work Melting Memories where he turned brain waves into a living art piece. Since then, I have followed his work and aspire to create immersive experiences like he does. http://refikanadol.com/works/infinity-room/

Final Project: Gallery Instructions

When the gallery receives the Infinity Box, they will receive five panels (four mirror panels and one white panel) and a usb with the Infinity video. The Infinity Box will take up 36”x30” of space and it will need about 3 to 4 feet of extra space for the projector. The person who builds the box should put three screws in each side to ensure that the panels are secure. Once the Infinity Box is set up it must be set in a corner area and facing the wall to make sure it doesn’t take attention away from the other installations. The gallery must have the MadMapper application on their computer and set up the laptop and projector up to 3 to 4 feet away from the box (depending on the type of the projector). The viewers are allowed to lay inside of the box, but it will disrupt the projection. If the viewers decide to lie inside the Infinity Box, they will receive a 2 minute time limit. To ensure that the Infinity Box’s mirrors are clean the gallery must clean it halfway through the d
