"Balanced Earth"
Abstract
Installation where you use an indo board to balance and control visuals and sound.
What
When you balance perfect in the middle completely horizontally the images/video projected on the screen would be of a happy well balanced, ideal, peaceful earth. Along with a soothing sound or mess clattered sound - when the indo board tilts to the left or right, the bottom rolls around and the board becomes unbalanced it will display images of pollution, poverty, war ect....and would play more intense uncomfortable clattered sounds.
Why
The project would showcase how difficult it is to maintain a balanced, sustainable earth and that being unbalanced is part of the physics of nature. THis is would be an interactive engaging way to display this thought/belief.
How
The wii remote would be placed inside the black cylinder underneath the indo board. Which would talk to my computer using isadora. From isadoras patch it would display the visuals through a projector and the sound through speakers.
Issues that may arise:
1. Is isadora the best program to use? I would need to learn MAXmsp better.
2. Figuring out the best way to get the wii remote inside the cylinder and still be able to turn it on and off.
3. Being able to afford my budget.
4. Safety if placed in public area.
5. Wil the board respond as I imagine?
To build this project I would need the following equitment and money:
1. Indo Board - to balance on -$100
2. Wii remote - to measure theaxis of the indo board. - I own one
3. Projector - to project images - $500
4. Speakers - $100
4. Isadora - to run the patch and have the wii remote talk to my computer - $350 for license
5. OSculator - to help run the wii mote more efficiently with isadora - free
6. Paper for flyers, carpet, paint and other small accessories as needed: $50
7. An area to set up my installation - donated by University of Maine
Total as of now $1100
