Research Intentions
Exploring research intentions led me to come up with a list of potential research topics/sources/starting points.
What topic do you want to explore?
Human behaviour and its interpretations
Perspectives on human behaviour
What do you want to make?
Generative interactive art
Abstractions of behavioral patterns
What outcomes do you hope to achieve?
Augment viewer’s (user’s?) perspective on ordinary human behaviour
What will be your creative focal point?
Aesthetic - visual output; interactive art
Tools/technologies - using technology to transform behavioral patterns
What do you need to learn or know how to do in order to create this project?
Observe different human behaviours and how they change in space and/or with interaction
Learn how to record and extract data points from chosen behaviour
Decide on and learn how to encode abstract form
Learn how to translate data points into generation of interactive art
Potential Primary Research Activities
Observe common behaviours
Observe common interactions
Record how these change
Document interactions
Storyboard interaction process
Explore data collection methods
Figure out training/pose recognition models
Experiment with Teachable Machine (?) and other similar platforms to assess viability
Transform sample dataset into code
Code interactive abstractions
Potential Secondary Research Sources
Artists
Websites
Artworks
Repositories
Exhibits
Theorists
Scholars
Creative technologists
