| <h4>Emotional Stock Market</h4>
| |
| '''WHAT?'''
| |
| An Installation in which real time online content is streamed and printed
| |
| according to emotional categorization. Modified receipt printers continuously
| |
| print out tweets containing the words ‘happy’, ‘sad’ and ‘love’. Tweets are sold by the performing stock brokers to the audience as shares in the emotion stock market. The audience then trade their tweets according to the share index of the emotion they have invested in. When the traders stop trading the installtion automatically continues piling up unsold tweets. A website accompanies the project displaying the share index and value of each emotion that is being traded in the emotional stock market.
| |
| | |
| '''HOW?'''
| |
| Tech: 3 x macbook pro, 3 x g4 systems, 3x cpu screens, 3x plinths for them to be displayed on. Behind each plinth is an arduino and a circuit connecting the laptops to the receipt printers for the tweets to be printed through.
| |
| | |
| Each plinth (1.2m high) is separated by 0.5 meters to allow for the performer to stand next to it.
| |
| | |
| During the performance a stockbrocker stands beside his staton selling tweets to the incoming audience. Each one is competing to sell shares in their emotion for the lowest price. The audience member can read the printed tweets and select the ones they would like to buy. After purchasing the audience member can sell their shares back to the stockbroker and make a profit if the index value has increased.
| |
| | |
| <h4> Yourhomepage </h4>
| |
| A website that displays the google map interface with different landmark icons
| |
| that reveal videos of people remembering where they grew up against a
| |
| backdrop of the environment on google streetview. Each landmark icon when clicked reveals a video recording of somebody talking to camera remembering where they grew with a chroma keyed streetview landscape of their street and local area in the background of the video. The streetview chromo key explores the local area behind the person in the video while they recall their favorite aspects of their neighbourhood and where they grew up. The collection of videos is navigated through the standard google maps interface within the website. The people talk about what they can see, how the place has changed (or how different it looks) and what they can remember.
| |
| | |
| '''How?'''
| |
| | |
| Making the videos
| |
| videos are created by setting up the correct lighting and green screen backdrop for chromo key to work so that the google maps streetview can be layered onto the background of the video. Someone comes in and tells me the postcode or address of where the grew up. on a computer i search this location in google maps and make a screen recording using ishowu HD. Once i have recorded this video for 30 seconds i then insert the video file into a chroma keylive to test it as a backdrop on the video. Their is a computer monitor mirroring my desktop so that the participant can see themselves within the video preview. I start recording audio, go full screen on the chroma key preview, click to sync the video and sound and then ask the participant to begin. The streetview recording plays in the background while the participant remembers the area.
| |
| | |
| Creating the Website
| |
| Create a map in google, turn all your participant recordings into a spreadsheet with postcode
| |
| and video file link to youtube url.
| |
| turn this spreadsheet into a table and then by using "google fusion" the table can be visualised onto google maps.
| |
| you may also need to add a colour key for the landmark icons. this you do by entering the shortcode small_purple and applying it to the
| |
| attributes of one of the columns or rows
| |
| | |
| <h4> The Last Day of TV </h4>
| |
| A series of 5 boxes that contain 5 videos that together make up a bootleg
| |
| recording of the last day of analogue broadcasting in London, UK. Each
| |
| box has a different UK national channel logo on the cover and each video is
| |
| labeled with the date and time information of each recording. The boxes are
| |
| hand made with a gray tone with white lettering and are a single edition. Each video case contains an image of a television tower overlayed with 5 circles that represent an analogue broadcast signal. The logo is a rebranding to package the last day of TV.
| |
| | |
| '''How?'''
| |
| | |
| 5 Televisions with RF antennas are placed on individuals plinths with a vhs recorder below them. The recorders are constantly recording the channel that the Television is broadcasting. Each Television is showing a different Channel.
| |
| Once the recordings are made card is screen printed with the logo and title information of each video. These were constructed using craft glue so they can be archived.

| ===== EVIL MEDIA =====
| |
| | |
| ===== Evil media by Mathew Fuller and Andrew Geoffrey =====
| |
| | |
| Graham Harwood and Matthew Fuller launched his new book “Evil Media’ with Graham Harwood presenting Yoha’s new work “Evil media distribution centre’ at The New Institute, Rotterdam. 12/9/2013
| |
| | |
| Evil Media is a presentation of how power maintained and mediated through our relationship with objects and systems. Because I have yet to read the book I will describe my understanding of Evil Media through Yohas indexing of ‘evil media objects’. Yoha present submitted objects that have been categorised as Evil with a brief description on a clipboard (clipboard being one of the indexed objects) in their ‘Evil Media Distribution Centre’. What is being communicated is that the very construction of these objects systematically induce evil properties and maintain power. Simon Pope submits a temporary steel fence, a robotic hover that contains the same motherboard as a drone, and post it notes that manage the individual with half thoughts and soft commands.
| |
| | |
| The train of thought is a response to the automation of modern society, through data sets and computer algorithms that maintain a systematic influence over our lives. The computational analysis of interplay between user and object is where this evil can be exposed. For example Graham presents the corner of a container as an evil medium, because with all four corners crates can be stacked and shipped in our globalised trading economy. This reading of media is computational in its analysis of function, command and outcome. It’s a reading of the world through a programming methodology, a breakdown of the systematic infrastructure to components that within the interplay between design and interaction become evil media.
| |
| | |
| Harwood shows particular interest into time management lifestyle programs that we have adapted in the information age. The reliance of technology to organise our constantly connected existence has created an automated experience of our day-to-day lives. Planners, diary entries, work flow charts; to do lists all create a flow of action that is designed by computer systems. The very obvious alteration that these systems have on our lives has highlighted the influence of other mediated objects that can be categorised as ‘Evil Media’.
