The Moment

Concept

For the important day in the memory of life, wedding day probably is the most. It would be interesting to explore the different weddings in west and china in a commen space. People will find the difference in the attitude of wedding, the way of wedding and the traditionl things.

The time schedule is very important in chinese wedding.In China people are carefully chosen according to astrological book when it would be proper and propitious to hold the wedding. Every meaningful behavior has a ‘lucky time’.

I have made two analyses of chinese and west wedding, about the time and flow:

Videos

The videos will be recorded from the different cities(first idea). I already have a wedding shooting of my cousin, who had a wonderful wedding on March 2010. Her wedding was a typical chinese modern wedding, not only had the traditional culture but also had west elements of wedding.

I also want to shoot the west wedding video for the installation, recording the all the process and details. The video won’t be edited very special or romantic, just continued and documentary. The video is the most factually way to react the scenes. I’d like to ask the audience to control the time to react the moment they want. And experiencing two total different weddings in one space.

Below is the example video from Thomas Grill, he did the shooting on August for the Pure Data Convention in Weimar. This video will be only for the test of the installation.

Clocks

I'd like to do some clocks that could control the clips which have happened. And is related to two different videos and interactive between users.

I propose to use some very normal clocks. Install the sensor inside the clock and connect to arduino. When people touch and move clock pointer, the video will be stoped and moved to the the same time as showed on the clock. The clocks will be displayed just like in the receiption of hotel, hang on the wall parallel with the city name.

Code

Arduino (sample)

Proccessing (figure moved by mouseX)

void setup() {
size(1000, 700);
strokeWeight(3);
smooth();
}

void draw() {
background(0);
fill(174, 221, 60);
ellipse(100, 580, 100, 100);
ellipse(145, 580, 2, 2);
ellipse(55, 580, 2, 2);
ellipse(100, 535, 2, 2);
ellipse(100, 625, 2, 2);
ellipse(100, 580, 5, 5);
  
float hourAngle = map(mouseX, 0, width, 0, 360);
  
pushMatrix();
translate(100, 580);
rotate(radians(hourAngle*12) - radians(90));
line(0, 0, 40, 0);
  
float speed = dist(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);
float diameter = speed * 2.0;
fill(204, 221, 80);
ellipse(50, 50, diameter/2, diameter/2);
popMatrix();
  
  
translate(100, 580);
rotate(radians(hourAngle) - radians(90));
line(0, 0, 20, 0);

}
