"What If..."

Part of the Cork Community Art Link 2005 "What If..." project (www.whatif.ie), a video about the interactive installation. It's all generated in real-time, mixing the audience, with some ghosty characters and visual elements.

Sliver

Sliver is a real-time installation/perform- ance in which movement of a performer is digitized and re-sampled onto an interactive screen. While the performer is in a separate room, the visitor is invited to engage with the performance interface by touching the screen in order to move a "virtual scanner". This action samples "slivers" of the performers image which are displayed and moved across a large screen, allowing the dance to both freeze in time, while reconstructing the movement phrase across a linear plane. At the same time, the performer's motion is detected and displayed in the lower part of the screen to offer hints to the visitors about the performers location and presence in the concealed space. In this installation, gaze, touch, movement and image output are coupled and deconstructed in the interface. This piece is inspired by the work of David Tinapple (http://www.davidtinapple.com/) and Steina and Woody Vasulka (http://www.vasulka.org/)

WEEK45-INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE

WHAT I LEARN
Information Architecture-Are Halland
what is Information Architecture?
The art and science of organizing and labeling web sites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability

The process of AI

Surface brings everything together visually:
What will the finished product look like?

Skeleton makes structure concrete:
What components will enable people to use the site?

Structure gives shape to scope:
How will the pieces of the site fit together and behave?

Scope transforms strategy into requirements:
What features/content will the site need to include?

Strategy is where it all begins:
What do we want to get out of the site. What do our users want?

WHAT I DO(Natacha&me)
The conceptual model about Telenor online shop.
Our structure about the process for user to buy the mobile phone.they can go to choose phone,subscription,payment step by step or they can jump among some step which can help them to get a whole sense about the buying process.

Wireframes that show how it works in the visual display.
We add the top sells part for user to compare the one they desired by themselves.
the subscription and phone which users choose before will present in one screen,they can make a flexible combination in different phone and service and get the direct information about how much it will cost.
