Final Mindmap of Unity



Unity this word have alot of meaning in different ways. This word in most of the people mind is united that combined into a single entity and peace.
This mind map is wrote down that what I did my research for unity currently. We all can't live alone in this world without friends and family. Without them, we will feel loneliness, useless and depression. In some situation , we need to work in team sharing together and success to a common goal like team medical, unity family and so on. There is also no "I" in a teamwork.
To achieve unity (multiple) for my installation, I am thinking to uisng microphone. User need to blow in the installation.


Here are some research and precedence studies of BLOW:

#Microphone controlled animation in Papervision3D

This is an interative 3D flash application that done in action script by Bartek Drozdz. This application is using microphone to interact with the leaves on screen. The leaves react to the activity level of the microphone, so if you take yours and start to blow into it, they will take off and fly around. If blow too hard, may be will feel head rush.

#Blow Up (fans) -2005


Blow Up records, amplifies, and projects human breath into a room-sized field of wind. Blow Up’s simultaneous processes of recording, translation and amplification is meant to increase the breath’s salience and legibility, while detaching the breath from the body that allegedly produced it. The process of observing this translation and translocation of respiratory activity may prompt the sender to consider the connection between one’s person and the air it exchanges.

#Yamada Kentaro: Tampopo, Multi-user Installation, 2005



Tampopo means dandelion in Japanese. Tampopo is an interactive video projected installation where viewers are able to interact with the screen by blowing dandelions. In this installation have a multi-screen setup, viewers can interact with other viewers by blowing each other’s dandelions, as each microphone input affects not only one but other dandelions through the use of multi-user networking system. This multi-user capability could be used over the internet, blowing each other’s dandelions from remote locations.
