DAT exhibition

Digital Art and Technology exhibition at Science Centre.
haha.. pay $4 more on top of the $6 entry fee to see this exhbition.
I personally think it's rather worth it.

Firstly, IDA's version of DO COMO! this is not in the DAT exhibition,
it's in an area called iSPACE.
you will get to see what Singapore is projected in 2015.
I hope the sound quality is good enough...

1. An interactive table whose animations will react to what u place on the table.
"an experiment with real objects and virtual images"
e.g.
I used a rope to form a circle on the table, a pond will appear in the circle and the ducks will start to swim into the pond.
If I used the longer rope to form a long line, the train will start to run on the line.
saucer will cause some flowers to grow.... watch closely!


2. Another interactive table which "revisits the domestic situation" on the table.
This time, the colour of the object u place on the table will bleed in a line down.
If u place another object in front of it intersecting the line, the colour will mix together.


3. This one is power.
"two double beds are video linked up, one in a dark space and one in an illuminated space. live video messages are sent to allow both sides to see one another."
"The ability to exist outside of a users' own space and time is created by an alarmingly real sense of touch that is enhanced by the context of the bed and caused by an acute shift of senses within the participant"
"In Telematic Dreaming, the user exchanges their tactile sense of touch by replacing their hands with their eyes".


4. Really smart.
User draws with ink on a blank sheet of paper.
Pushes a button which takes a image of the drawing.
Removes the drawing.
and pushes the animate button,
then he/she can start playing with the drawing! like instant flash animation. ha


5. By just gently touching the supernormal objects on the table,
the play of shadows will run in and surprise you!
Japanese design - a shadow represents the very existence of an object.
It can also reveal the intrinsic quality of that object.


6. this one is straightforward. Huge toggle table to play on.


I have many more videos...
but playing them real life is really an amazing experience.
i can show more, if you all really have no time to go... :)
