FTIR Compliant surface fabrication
provides the structure for the screen, resists pressure/supports weight
> Drafting vellum substrate: two functions:
used as diffusion layer for rear projection video
‘compliant’ surface layer; silicone coated to increase FTIR effect, provides some pressure sensitivity
> Mylar
1. protects the fragile vellum layer
2. reduces friction for finger drags across surface
see.saw conceptual code
The code required for (see.saw) runs something like this:
visual part
> track finger position as CCV (formerly known as tbeta) events
> output TUIO data
> input to Processing
> use cursor position to invoke collections of particles and ellipses
> event duration determines color phase
> output to screen (this has to happen in ‘real time‘)
audio part
> record sample of real time sound
> hold sample in buffer 15 sec in max/msp
> play sample through speaker at opposite entrance

see.saw
I see you there, I saw you here
seesaw going up and down
the ghost in the machine, the minotaur in the labyrinth
collections of memories, talk
touch
sound
memory again

“… they knew there would be a change, but at the last moment, beyond all the moments in between. It wouldn’t be today, or tomorrow, or any day that could be determined in advance. Like the spectrum of perception, the spectrum of happening is divided by a threshold. That threshold is just where it is, and nowhere else.”
