Inspiration
The first time we used the radar we tried walking in a circle around the location to be scanned and the results scanned out particular shapes based on our movement. This inspired me to think that we can do some design exploration and expression based on our behaviors and actions in space.
Idea
As shown in the diagram, we can correspond the scanned shape to the score to get the exact track.
Through transforming the shape of our actions, distance depth, and positional coordinates into unique sound effects to express our relationship with space and emotional connection.
At the same time, it can combine the sounds of other people in this space, such as the sound of conversation and footsteps.
Combined with Allison’s ideas, we can translate body language into music, expressing how the environment affects us unconsciously, as well as our emotions and perceptions of space. It is possible that the physical space outside the mirror corresponds to one kind of music and the space inside the mirror to another. Through this project, we can reflect on how the environment shapes people, and how people reshape the environment.
Some attemps
I tried providing Chat gpt with a few simple numbers to generate a basic melody, and I found that it worked.
