De Reconnect Munus Instrumentum Artis Digitalis

Reconnect est instrumentum artis digitalis de communicatione humana post tempus vitae procul actae. Opus vocationes visuales enregistratas cum duodecim monitoribus LCD in tabulato aluminii cum taeniis LED collocatis coniungit. Machina photographica interretialis (webcam) faciem visitatoris ante instrumentum stantis in monitore centrali ostendit, dum ceteri monitores homines in vocationibus enregistratis loquentes exhibent. Primo, quisque monitor separatam vocationem exhibet; deinde, omnes monitores paulatim unam imaginem coniunctam efformant. Instrumentum per programmata visualia nodis fundata compositum est, et ab unico computatro portabili gubernatum.

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: People have lived remotely but it’s getting back to normal life and they start to “reconnect” in the real world. This installation is composed of “virtual” interviews and multiple displays extended into “real” space.
Post-pandemic life won't look the same for everybody but you can see bright faces and positive words in this installation.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Width 1000mm x Depth 1000mm x Height 2000mm
LED stripes: WS2812B
LCD screens: SHARP 5.5inch / 7.9inch LCD screen
PC: Mouse computer Next GEAR NOTE i57
Software: Derivative TouchDesigner
Notulae: installation, art, contemporary, touchdesigner, contemporary art, video art, digital art
Technologia Productionis: This installation was programmed by TouchDesigner, which is a node based visual programming language for interactive contents.
And it is composed of LCD screens, LED stripes and almi-frames. Each screens are connected to video splitter with HDMI cables.
One laptop pc handle 12 video outputs and LED data and sound.
Provocatio Designandi: The most challenging point was how to output 12 zoom videos to LCD displays from one laptop PC.
I used 2 video splitters and programmed these videos were in-sync. At the first part, zoom calls are ongoing on each LCD screen, but gradually each screen compose one multi-display.
Investigatio: Communications have changed since COVID happened. We are separated physically but on the other hand, we were able to talk virtually through zoom calls. I tried to materialize this way of communication into the real world. I asked my friends to record our zoom calls and they willingly accepted to be a part of my installation. You can hear positive words in this experience.
Inspiratio: People are using zoom call and we can see each other on screen. I tried to extend this situation into real space with LCD screens.
Duratio Operis: This installation had been exhibited for a joint exhibition, "Public Visuals Exhibition" in Tokyo in October 2021 for two weeks.
Cursus Operationis: If you stand in front of this installation, your face is shown on center screen through webacam. And zoom calls are starting and people are shown on the other screen. Even if they are zoom calls but they are ongoing on actual screens, you will feel as if you talk to people in person.
