experience but it happens nonetheless”

10. Actualizing the Individual Experience
How to demonstrate the different experiences
and perceptions we all have with the same
image due to the differences in our thinking?

11. Using Transitive Law
If A + B = C, then A = C
Unconscious Thinking + Unresponsive Image = Experience, Thinking = Experience
Unconscious Actions + Responsive Image = Experience, Movement = Experience
Actions are a manifestation of our thinking.
Actions influence image
Image becomes an output of our thinking
--in a way that we are not conscious of.

12. The Personalized Cinema Experience

13. Interactive Cinema
Adobe Photoshop
Arduino
MAX MSP
Proximity Sensor
Webcam
Projector

14. MAX MSP PATCHES
Proximity: Reward curiosity in stillness &
approach. (Proximity Sensor + Arduino)
If distance is 50(?) or 100(?)or 200(?) then
Image Adj that promotes more actions
Face Detection: Negate more than one
extra person (Webcam)
if =1 then color pic, if = 2 then b&w, if > 2
then blurry output
Curiousity: Promote Time Spent w/Image
for objectively MAX time 2mins? (proximity
sensor)
if affected movement is consistent for 4+
secs, activate img adjustment. If 30 secs
img adjustment, if +1 min, negative img
output
Audio: Rewards Clap & Laughter with
Picture (Microphone, Webcam, API’s)
Every sequential picture in round gets
personalized comment
Game: How many ppl activated Cam
Trigger? Will Tweet or Instagram a Photo
Advertised to Twitter acct as a social
experiment--ppl who discovered the cam
(associated with positivity somehow?)
