5th Meeting: Visual Sub-group meeting 14-02-2025

Overview: Conducted TD + Arduino connection tests. Finalized visual effects, installation form, and breathing guidance approach.

进行了TD + Arduino连接测试,确定了视觉效果、装置形式以及呼吸引导方式.

Members: Yixuan Zhang, Can Huang, Li Lyu, Hefan Zhang,Xinyi Qian

Connection Test   连接测试

  • Tested Temp/Humid Sensor.

测试了Temp/Humid Sensor。

  • Issue: Data changes were detected, but the displayed value was “loudness,” and the signal variation was weak (power amplification might help).

有数据变化,但显示的值为loudness,且信号变化小(可以尝试功率放大)。

  • Solution: Consult GPT or reach out to Joe for further assistance.

询问GPT或者联系Joe寻求解决方案。

Visual Effects 视觉效果

img1: references for visual effect

 

Primarily abstract, encouraging any experimental or suitable effects (e.g., particles, organic abstract forms) to create a relaxing experience for the audience. Visuals should complement the auditory elements and are divided into two aspects:

以抽象形式为主,鼓励任何想尝试/合适的效果(如粒子、抽象的有机形式……),能给观众带来放松的感受即可。视觉效果与听觉相辅相成,分为两个方面:

  • Stable, pre-set initial image: Guides the audience’s breathing through smooth visual transitions, based on a 4:6 or 5:5 breathing pattern (undetermined)(LFO CHOP in TD can generate stable periodic signals).
  • Breathing-driven dynamic image: Changes according to the audience’s breathing with more noticeable variations (If the signal is weak, Math CHOP can amplify it; if unstable, Filter CHOP can smooth it).
  • 稳定的、预设的初始图像: 通过稳定的图像变化,对观众进行呼吸引导(基于4:6或者5:5的呼吸模式(还有待确定),可以在TD中使用 LFO CHOP(低频振荡器)生成平稳的周期性信号)
  • 由呼吸数据驱动的变化图像: 随着观众的呼吸而变化,是一种相对明显的变化(如果信号不稳定,可以在TD中使用Math CHOP(信号放大);信号不平稳可以使用Filter CHOP(信号平滑))

 

The two types of visuals should be distinct but maintain a unified aesthetic. Considerations for color, graphical language, and transition methods between the two visuals should be explored.

两种图像需要有所区分,但仍保持整体视觉风格统一,可以考虑以下方面(色彩、图形语言、两种图像之间的过渡方式……?)

Installation 装置形式

img2: references for installation

1.Breath Interaction Device: A sensor is placed inside a portable/handheld container, allowing the audience to blow air in a comfortable position. (Providing cushions?)

  1. 吹气装置:将传感器放入可移动/手持的容器中,让观众以自身舒适的状态进行吹气。(提供坐垫?)

2.Main Installation: A breath-themed sculptural installation, combining plant and organ-like forms using lightweight, transparent, or semi-transparent materials to create an organic and lifelike effect. (Examples: Transparent resin + pigments for organ models; heat gun + plastic for plant-like structures.)

2.主装置:以“呼吸”为主题的造型装置,用质感较轻、透明或半透明的材质制作植物和器官结合的装置,使其具备有机感和生命感。(例如:用透明树脂+色素制作器官模型;用热风枪和塑料制作植物造型)

3.Lighting: Breathing lights / LED strips enhance the ambient atmosphere. LED strips connect the two installations or serve as decorative data lines, controlling the light variation speed (slow and smooth).

3.灯光:呼吸灯/LED灯条作为场地装饰增强氛围感。用灯条连接两个装置/装饰数据线, 控制灯光变化速率(缓慢、流畅)。
