Editor's Notes
- Eyebeam 10 year thing First solo presentation. Thanks so much for coming Acknowledgements Professors from Parsons John Sharp Ed Keller Ted Byfield Electronic Mentors Breakfast Zach Murphy of the Public Theater Steven Litt Phillip Stearns - prototype Bryan Ma Eyebeam team Corina
- Kid - wow that’s complicated. Adult - oh my god that doesn’t make any sense at all Disassociated from the characters Architecture of aliens and humans Our greatest creation. How what we use to understand can become alien Used against us. Incorporates us. Aliens use the elevators
- Eyebeam flyer Rather than describe the technicalities of it I want to focus on the mood and atmosphere in the same way the map from aliens does
- Not a synth Permanently labeled synth guy Programmable interface Modules Usb interface MIDI controller, keyboard, joystick
- Not a synthesizer Composed of lots of logic gates Chips used to route and interpret incoming signals are the fundamental components of computer science Dealing with a very slow computer where you have access to every pin Led is the perfect indicator of the signal
- Core frequency divided and manipulated Resonance to the whole structure Natural beauty to these structures Calder used in his work I like to use them as an example rather than literal patterns because there’s an artistry to them.
- how it’s executed what are some other applications - toys - interactive very simple
- Furniture Lego Benefits: Match your price point Reconfigure to suit different needs Self satisfaction in designing it yourself A new piece changes how the other pieces function BM: dynamic modules → good example of systems complexity, emergence, simple systems→ complex/unpredictable results interactions between users - modules talking to one another - not confined to single person - emergence in an even more complicated system now
- Inherently modular This principle scales up… - Resistors + Capacitors - Integrated Circuits - Functional modules (computer hardware) - Protocols to facilitate communication between modules - The glue to interconnect these things yields more designs based upon the characteristics of the glue
- Make new protocol. Invent the glue Problems Slide towards personalization rather than
- When the price drops and design becomes more accessible it allows for more interesting, disposable, and single purpose designs
- Criticism A medium for communicating with audience Performance whether improvised or prepared is about establishing a dialogue with the audience You want to be able to be interesting conversationalist, comment on the history of your discourse Know when to stop You direct the flow of the conversation An “instrument” like this doesn’t allow for anything sophisticated
- The miniature Disposable You determine the length of interaction
