Can computer (digital interface) express feelings and emotions?
Technology metaphoric as a wormhole, a hypothetical tunnel connecting two different paradigm of time, like a time machine intertwine the past, the present and the future in a linear experience of time.
Background
Scientist suggest that for aliens to travel through space from one galaxy to another galaxy, it takes more than a million light years. Is it possible for U.F.Os to even reach our planet earth? They believed that aliens travel through wormhole. A wormhole is a hypothetical hole or "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime. It takes less time than the normal journey by bending the space but wormhole are highly unstable and might collapse before the spaceship can travel in.(Check this out) Did any alien really landed on our planet before?
The invention of mechanical clock in the thirteenth century inaugurated a new representation of time which embodies a homogenizing representation of time and place. (Lorenzo, 1995) Technology giving us more time, rendering us closer to being perpetual, by minimizing the time needed to achieve a goal which allows us to take time for granted and “rendering us less vulnerable to what occurs in time, to the vicissitudes of time” (Lorenzo, 1995). Ever since the advancement of technology, it has started the social and cultural transformation. We have then building our own interconnection between individuals in the cyberspace and not in the real-time situation. Do computer or the technology able to extend the feelings and emotions within the realm time and space? We are just one screen away from each other.
Problem Identification
In this technology driven era, we take advantage of the technology and neglect the basic human to human communication ways. People nowadays are indifference or lack of emotion and feeling towards each other, this phenomenon can be associate with computer. Why? We are like a computer now, we just accept and deliver information, avoid error and hassle. Always looking for the best connectivity with the internet and not the connection between human.
- What are the capabilities and possibilities of technology in expressing feelings?
- What are the impact of technology on the timespace and meaning of human beings?
Project Title
Wormhole (working title)
Ideation & Concept
For my project, i want to create an installation that uses web interface and physical interaction which affects the both platform and maybe vice versa. The web interface will be like a wormhole, which metaphor as a time tunnel that connects two different paradigm of time, space and dimension. The data of the user will be track and the input of the user affects the physical interaction which signify each user's decision to take the past, present or the future.
Aim & Objectives
- To explore human's feeling and behaviour about different paradigm of time
- To experimental with Benjamin Walter's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction theories
- To explore the possibilities of the capability of technology to convey emotions
- To research on the role of technology as a medium or channel in the digital culture
- To explore on the impact of technology on the time and space and meaning
Motivation
I always love to explore on media cultural or social behaviour kind of thing. So by doing this installation i think it will strengthen my understanding towards the topic. Besides that, experimenting with the technical part is quite challenging and interesting too. I hope to learn a lot and growth as a digital artist. And the best part is just to have fun in my FYP by doing something i love to do.
