Project | |||
We are getting involved with technology each day as if the tools of technology almost became our limbs. We also have great knowledge and skill to use these tools, maybe even more skillfully than our actual limbs and muscles. Although this seems like a dark and dystopian world, our bodies have been evolving in a way that our fingers have more importance than the other limbs. | |||
The electricity which flows through our muscles is detected by an Ardunio and turned into numbers. Depending on the range of the numbers, Max produces a combination of a maximum of 5 or 6 letters and searches these on Google Images. The idea is to show the first image of the search result. This way a language between the computer and our body can be defined and performance can be demonstrated. | |||

==How To Set Things Up== | |||
This setup allows the user to make a google image search which is triggered by the signals coming from the muscles. The idea behind is to show the connection between our boddies and technology. Every device we have act as a limb for us now. Life without internet and instant communication is not possible. There is a strong bound which is getting stronger as we continue our lives with these technologies. | This setup allows the user to make a google image search which is triggered by the signals coming from the muscles.

It is possible to cycle through different search options such as "God", "Human" and "Computer". Each of these options requires a different level of signal. For example in order to trigger the "God" option, connected muscle should produce the input level of 300. This level increases to reach the "Computer" option. | It is possible to cycle through different search options such as "God", "Human" and "Computer".

Finally, we can use our max patch after some arrangements. The usb port used by the Arduino should be defined in the object where it says "serial d 9600". In my computer I was using the d serial port, the one you are using should be written here. The patch can be started by clicking the toggle button above. The signal level can be observed from the graphic. | Finally, we can use our max patch after some arrangements.

First thing to figure out was to how to get data from google in order to display the images of the search results. I came up with this simple patch. It's altering the image search link by adding another word at the end with append object. | First thing to figure out was to how to get data from google in order to display the images of the search results.
