Digitalization of Reeds
My project are some experiments about digitalizing the reeds which inspiration came from my supervisor's painting in China .he once did a very beautiful and big painting of paper collage of reeds .every time I walk in front of the painting ,I can feel the booming reeds in a prosperous autumn. And after I learn programming ,many times I want to digitalize it ,but not just an animation, but to express some more experience that painting can't give to me.

winding reeds
My first idea is a generative graphic combine with API. It's a kind of view of swing reeds and I apply the wind speed of weather data, so the reeds will be influenced by the real time wind speed all over the world.for example ,If I type the name of different city :Shanghai or Beijing or London, my reeds will be influenced by different city's wind. That is to say, everywhere I set my reeds ,even though in a small and beautiful town ,there is a connection from the whole world.
my progress: try different reeds with programming
next step: combine with weather API and to set up the installation with the projection on an empty wall behind Leibnizallee 10b:
Playground of Reedsworld
Second idea I also want to try the interaction with the user, that means visitors' projection can go inside the reeds world, but in different size. small size one can walk on the branches of the reeds adn swinging along with the wind , and big size can influence the reed's movement. That will be like a playground.
