I chose to talk about The Legible City because I found the fact of using a bike to be interesting for a piece of route. Also doing things that combine parts of your body like your eyes, hands and feet were really cool. In the article, he talks about how he “remembers the toxicating feeling…

I then wired these circuits in parallel. The reasoning for using a piezoelectric disk it that I wanted to create a switch which didn’t require a conventional power source. The piezos themselves create…

    While reading the article, I went out of my way to research different types of interactive art pieces. That’s when I came across Dune 4.1.  The following video shows an interactive landscape of “light” piece of work, placed in the Maastunnel of Rotterdam, called Dune 4.1, which interacts with touch, movement, and sound….

Initially, I was drawn to the concept, which as described by the author, essentially gives the viewer an opportunity to “destroy” a “painting” just by looking at it. Technologically speaking, the hardware behind…

Piano as Image Media — Toshio Iwai 1995 Toshio Iwai’s Piano as Image Media uses a grand piano and a trackball-as-interface to allow visitors to compose multi-colored visual melodies generated by the sounds that the piano produces. This piece stood out to me because the process of moving through stages of physical intervention, to visual/digital,…

As I was reading this article and researching the aforementioned interactive media art forms, I came across Myron Kreuger’s “Videoplace.” The way the technology mimicked movements and transferred them on to a different surface made me think of one of my favorite interactive media pieces, the wooden mirrors. The wooden mirrors is a piece created…

The very first and most intriguing interactive art piece to me was “The Legible City” by Jeffery Shaw. This piece involves a simulated “city” as a stationary biker pedals their way through the screen. The viewer as complete control of  the direction and speed of travel as they travel the virtual world. I appreciate the…
