<strong>REACTIONS LOOP</strong> | |||
In the beginning I knew that I want to make a project with data visualization. After research I have noticed that some of visualizations besides representing a huge amount of information also create some illusion of alive organism. When I see visualization with organic shapes which are moving not randomly but depending on some particular information it gets from outside, somehow it reminds a human reaction. Basically our movements it’s reactions on everything what’s going on around us. Our brain collects all the data from our surroundings and creates reactions on it. | In the beginning I knew that I want to make a project with data visualization.

Since art is supposed to evoke emotions, why not to make art react on emotions. People observe art and react on it, art reacts on peoples reaction and changes, it make people react more and so on. That creates a reactions loop. Similar to human behavior, when you smile to a person, this person usually smiles you back. In that way just reacting on art piece you create an interaction with this art. | Since art is supposed to evoke emotions, why not to make art react on emotions.

First step is to create a visual graphics. To make it I used openprocessing.org. I found a similar to what I want project and changed it.

Whether you smile or don't processing gets number and depend on this number visualization changes. | Whether you smile or don't processing gets number and depend on this number visualization changes. | ||

<strong>Observing people observing art</strong> | |||
I was curious to see peoples reaction on my project and I decided to make a small experiment. I showed the visualization to some of my friends and didn't tell whats the point of it. I said that it is an interactive visualization and it reacts on them but didn't tell how exactly. So they had to figure it out by their own. | |||
I wanted to see how fast they are going to realize that it changes when they smile and also I wanted to see if they smile observing art or they have other reaction instead. | |||
When I said that they have to do something to make visualization change, first of all they start to move themselves and then sit straight to see if something changes. After they move the hands in front of camera. Probably I would do the same, the first thought that comes to your mind when you say "interactive" its movement. Even thought the smile is the most natural reaction, it takes some time to realize that visualization changes not because you are shaking your hands but because you are expressing your emotions. | |||
<strong>I find it really interesting that people can interact with art without making any efforts but naturally expressing their emotions. When they realize it, they get more emotional and when they get more emotional, the art changes more and so on. In that way creates the reactions loop.</strong> | |||
To see better how it works and example of peoples reaction you can download the video at the following link: | |||
