Critique 3- Interface Design + Technical part


The projector is to connect the computer.
The projector will be place at the highest place, to avoid the shadow blocking the screen.
By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen, the spray can can  interactive with the projection on the wall.

The Wiimote can track sources of infrared (IR) light,so I will try to put the infrared light (IR) inside of the spray can, so the Wiimote can track spray can that have an IR led inside the can.

Critique 3- Floorplan

Critique 3- content development

Basically I got 2 ideas for my installation
1) The wall projection is blank, the graphic will only growing by detect the audience movement.
2) It is an Interactive wall painting projection, audience can interact with it by using spray can

Critique 3- Content Acquisition - Research

Content acquisition - Digital Graffiti

Digital graffiti is the act of creating graffiti art using a computer vision system. Various groups and companies have pioneered digital graffiti since technology advances made it possible.




Graffiti demands your attention. Sprayed onto walls, street furniture or public transport, it's an unusually physical form of communication. Unlike the advertising billboards with which it shares the streets, graffiti is usually applied without permission, a distinctly unlicensed medium = art crime


The work of street artists draws sharply contrasting reactions: some see it as vandalism, while others take a more benevolent view that acknowledges the creativity of its practitioners. To the latter, sizeable group, graffiti is cool. Despite the efforts of some media-savvy companies to muscle in and use street art to sell product, the scene has successfully remained independent, with its own culture and language.
That independence makes the street art movement a natural for the internet, which so effectively enables individuals to pool their expertise for a common cause. Through the net, the spirit of graffiti has taken flight to turn a patchwork of grass-roots projects into an international movement.
"Computer technology has been instrumental in perpetuating graffiti and street art," says legendary graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, whose images in Subway Art, alongside those by Henry Chalfant, did much to legitimise graffiti art. "There are hundreds of graffiti sites where writers can share their photos. There are sites where you can select spray paint colours and simulate painting, and others which will create your name in different graffiti styles
So my Idea is tend to create an installation Wall which can play with paint with a full range of colours and fills. It’s like real graffiti without the mess. The other way to allows you to do vandalized!!!
