BBC livesites

The aim of this project is to create an interactive piece that can be played (on a large outdoor screen) simultaneously an immersive event that will placed in plymouth main city centre. The brief I have been given is to create a motion tracking modern art. A piece where colours would be drawn on movement being generated. In addition to this I am welcome to make any other interactive pieces to display on the screen.

For the main project there are a number of factors that I need to consider for this :

• What movement do I want to track?
• How much movement do I want to track?
• What impact will movement have on the final piece?
• What sort of modern art will be created?

For this project I’ve decided to look at cross platform compatibility first before I look at quartz composer. In doing so, it’d allow the generative piece to work on any machines and so ease of use at other livesites.

For consideration I’ve decided to look at actionscript, processing, openFrameworks, and then quartz composer. I’ll keep you posted!
