Job Delegation
Concept
(Gordon) - Describe how the project uses the concepts of play, graffiti and collaborative community artwork as experimental process.
Context
Participation in the "Sing-a-Sketch" project requires a BlueTooth-compatible mobile phone. Users 'sing' into the phone whilst remaining within a receiver's radius (typically 10-20m) to control a pen projected onto a nearby flat surface (ceiling, wall or floor).
The ideal environment would be large, open and urban, with one or more large structures nearby. Projection results would be most effective at dusk or during the evening.
Visualisation
Go HARRY!
Pen is represented as an arrow - leaving either a solid trail, or a semi-transparent trail of simple shapes.
Pen's "direction" rotates constantly while sound input levels remain below a given threshold. Pen moves in set direction when user makes a constant sound. Speed of pen or width of pen can be determined by either a variation in pitch or volume (most likely volume).
Pen becomes stationary again once sound level drops below threshold, rotating its direction.
Will be worthwhile taking photos of potential locations for installation, then adding "artist's impression" type mockups of projection and users singing into their mobiles.
Mechanics
Go SHANE!!
Check out the feasibility of such a device - requiring bluetooth audio receivers, feasibility of system handling multiple simultaneous audio inputs. Examine range of receivers. Any hardware incompatibilities with USB-based audio devices.
Explore how users become aware of the "Sing-a-Sketch" project. Online help required?
