Exploration of Jitter MAX

There are some of my favorite works got from C74 BLOG Projection:

A Dream Retrieval Ritual

http://cycling74.com/project/a-dream-retrieval-ritual/

Max used as a tool to create the simulating surround-sound offered me a realistic sense of dreaming. I think this artificial vividly sounds design also could find his way in the game design, theatre design and virtual reality. That is amazing!

Touch the Sound

http://cycling74.com/project/touch-the-sound/

Designer utilized various color balls to trigger various sound—a melody, a bass-line, and a rhythm —through tracking the ball’s position on the white plane, could help people who knows nothing about instruments to create a his or her own song.

I really enjoy the effect of this projection, this kind of interactive installation design used a cute “human” character and they would disappear when the door beneath the projection was open, small “human” seemed like also wanted to follow you and escaped from that crowded space.

You are here…..somewhere else

The scene of simulating the situation of snowy road, a good idea, especially for people who live in the hot south. The whole interaction projection: motion graphic with human’s movement, full of highly aesthetic artistic value.

Also, some other projections also gave me an deep impression and I do not list all of their websites on there, like utilization of projection to make-up magically, museum’s exhibition of statuary, and light-shade dance so on.

All in all, I start to develop a primitive concept of function of Max or pd or Arduino, it hard to describe clearly, but I have to say all they are very creative and human-immersible.

Besides, I downloaded tools from the recommended sites, some of them I cannot totally understand and figure out how to use, maybe they should combine with some others to show its true effects. I just find that dual video mixer/fluid simulation/effects are interesting and controllable for me right now. I still need more energy and time to continue the whole exploration.
