Analog color selection, tangible interface and live performance
Today I helped Amandine to take some pictures in London Field for her work – at some point I asked her to take a picture with my hand, in front of it, selecting an object’s colour: this was a proper analog color selection. (The setup was for one of her work which should be published on her sketchbook this week)
I would like to use this pink, please.
Delicious Library let’s you scan your books’ barcodes to generate your collection (it gets the isbn out of it, and from the isbn, the software grabs the title and cover from the internet), using simply the iSight of your Mac.
A bit in the same fashion, we could select a color by simply showing it to the computer. Clic! ColorBooth would let you then finetune the hue, saturation and brightness…
Somehow this idea of tangible interface is related with this video from Bob Dylan filmed by Pennebaker in 1965 where the text is displayed by the main characters of the music video story; the storytelling is essentially textual and I like it a lot. (thanks Patrick for the link)

Even when we first saw the movie Minority Report, the idea of having tangible interface was nothing new. Nonetheless this idea excited my mind quite recently, especially since I saw the various hacks and experiments using a wii controler – one of those is by Johnny Lee, in the video below he explain you how to track your fingers in the same fashion as Minority Report.

Another one, in a TED talk, by Jeff Han who shows a high-resolution multi-touch computer screen and the various new interactions modalities ipod/iphone like.
A few weeks ago, I have been invited by Maki to a talk he and Kajsa were organising at RCA for their student of visual communication. The talk was by Aurélien Froment, he was presenting a live film project – so it was like a performance. A bit like a scenario mixed with a storyboard, projected live in front of the audience amongst which Aurélien was sitting.
The setup was quite simple: from the ceiling a hung camera was filming Aurélien’s desk where the show was taking place.

Here is a picture of the desk after the performance with all the elements of the film’s project :
He then showed a film he realised: a magician selecting images from a collection, playing around with them, in the same fashion as the Minority Report movie.
Meeting Aurélien was quite exciting since his work and what he shown at RCA this afternoon was really close from questions and pieces I have been developping for sometimes now.February 03, 2008
