HOD | artist’s key work selection

Based on my artist – Mayuko Kanazawa, I chose an artwork which was recently exhibited in Singapore Art Museum – Imaginarium 2018.

The artwork is Utsuroi Iroha, which invites their audience to participate by being part of the artwork of seasons and time.

The installation is a walkthrough, where there are different screens being shown in the enclosed area. It’s interactive in the manner that the audience stands at a mark spot and does a certain action. From that action, the visual display changes, alongside incorporating yourself inside the display. This installation brings to life the different seasons of Japan. Image recognition sensors weave the audience into the artwork, and by jumping or waving your arms, your character will morph into animals and even summon epic floral displays.

From this installation, we get to experience Japan and know more about it and it’s seasons, as in Singapore, it’s summer all year round and we do know having blooming flower seasons or cold weather like theirs. Furthermore, the installation is kind of personalised to each individual, as we all do a different action, triggering a different output of the work.

Through our interaction with the work, the artists hopes to highlight how our real-life actions impact nature and the environment.

Based on what was taught in class, this installation links to cybernetics, whereby there are specific acts of communication and transfer of information between the observer and the machine. Art is also behavioural in this instance, as from human interaction, it gives feedback to the machine and the artwork changes according to the feedback.

Till then,

4D | interactive artworks

I’ve heard of unique interactive artworks before, and I am really excited to be attempting to do one!

There are 2 examples that inspired my idea. They are The Piano Staircase, and Pepsi’s Interactive Football Vending Machine.

The Piano Staircase, was designed by “The Fun Theory”, and started off at a subway station in Odenplan, Stockholm, in 2009.

It is an interactive musical installation, with black and tap keys, according to the piano keyboard basis at the subway stairs. Each step produces a different note of sound when tapped by foot. This installation aims to encourage citizens to take the stairs instead of the elevator when taking the MRT.

This artwork inspired me as it is really interactive, and for a good cause. Having steps which are interactive attracts commuters to want to try it, instead of their daily routine of going to the MRT to get them from location to location.

Another interactive artwork that inspired my idea was Pepsi’s Interactive Football Vending Machine. This was used as a guerrilla marketing campaign by Pepsi in 2014.

It allows users to interact with the vending machine, to challenge football players to show off their best moves, and they can either win a free Pepsi or enter a “Hall of Fame” mode and challenge other players for a chance to win special prizes.

This artwork gave alot of inspiration to my idea, as it is working with vending machine, something that is used for sales. Although it didn’t serve any societal purposes, it helped Pepsi gain fame for having creative marketing, and for users to have a fun time!

Till then,
Flazéda!
