public interaction with the moira installation

character/animation designed in 3ds Max, RFID tracking of rapid prototyped scultprual models of moira group >>>

=========================

someone moves the sculptural moira family

they appear on the screen

they talk about their story

stories that you may relate to, stories that you may weave

Sound in the Moira Project (2008)

songs that are drawn from audio memory fragments, or from memories of things you might have heard,

there only twelve notes

but twelve notes is an orchestra

+++

There was a doctor, a stalker, a girl and a cop.

a stalker loves a doctor

a doctor cures a girl, or not

a girl sympathizes for her father, a cop

a cop stalks a doctor

a cop killed a stalker’s father, and a doctor knows about it

a girl knows that a cop stalks a doctor

and a doctor, an unlicenced doctor, made a girl sick

a girl had an accidental accident with fire

Concept of Time/Space/Speed

   ‘mind-time’ is not linear.

   : The concept of time talks about
4-dimensional space.
         
 Speed, acceleration and deceleration of time,
is about 5-dimensional of world
; about memory and imagination world,

Scene Description

•         The floating around Moira characters describe the characteristic of memory (or dreams).

•         The animation in the boundaries (windows: past – wishes – negative relationships – positive relationships – wishes – future – past) shows the Moira group’s specific stories, but they are not limited by the space; they are connected with the entire scene.

•         The lines that the Moira characters leave behind them are their life threads, or traces.

Audio Components

•         Based on Arnold Schoenberg’s 12 tone composition method, the scores were composed by Windsor Viney.

•         The music is like the Moira characters’ life span, and our destiny. It cannot come back until the cycle completes ; creation – preservation – destruction.

•         Each of 4 characters are represented by 3 tones (3 aspects of their destiny).

Interactive Creation

•         Determining the narrative through interaction slowly reveals the destiny of the Moira characters.

•         The participant’s movement of the representative characters triggers portions of the narrative and the sound.
