Artist Statement

I design this Artist Statement for our Interactive Installation Art using Photoshop

HEART PROJECTION

The heart projection that will be outline of the boxes will glow when there is sound detected so import the heart image from Illustrator and make into a movie clip in Flash . Then I add the coding and it will detect the sound .

Here is the coding :

myMic = Microphone.get();

attachAudio (myMic);

micInterval = setInterval (this,"micCheck",20);

function micCheck (){

heart._alpha = myMic.activityLevel;

}

HEART

Here I use illustrator to illustrate a heart shape for the outline of the boxes that will be projected by the projector .

here is the image :

Testing Program

Here im testing the program, I also created a video to document the whole process .

Here are some picture and the documented video is uploaded on the group blog:

MICROPHONE DETECTOR

Just found a website that detect microphone movement and it will move the movie clip in flash

PROGRAM

We had a consultation with Mr Hafizudin and suggested that we use a camera detection program and also use flash action script.

SCRIPTING

Im currently looking for a script that can be used for the project and I found a beat detection script.

Here is the script :

import beat.BeatEngine;   import beat.BeatEvent;    var sound:Sound = new YourSound();   sound.play();    var engine:BeatEngine = new BeatEngine();   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.LOW_BEAT, lowHandler);   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.MED_BEAT, medHandler);   engine.addEventListener(BeatEvent.HI_BEAT, hiHandler);    function lowHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingLow(e.power);//action for low frequency beat detection   }    function medHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingMedium(e.power); //action for medium frequency beat detection   }    function hiHandler(e:BeatEvent):void {     doSemethingHigh(e.power); //action for high frequency beat detection   }
