Organic Pulse Imagery is an installation art that unites the audience with parts of the different organisms. In this project, I will capture the electrical conductivity of the organisms for conveying the massage that there are many microorganisms everywhere around us. Then, I will send that input to Max/msp to generate a 3D/2D graphic of their electrical conductivity and project that graphic onto the wall, therefore the audiences can be participated.
This idea is more likely to be an exhibition approach, which people can choose the organisms by themselves and interact with it.
The installation includes a counter which has a projector built-in, on top of the counter is a petri dishes slots that allow the participants to choose the organisms that they're interested to interact with and place it in the isolated slot which is connected to the Arduino, moreover the slots are used as an incubator for the organisms to keep them living with the suitable temperature.
This project is related to my Max/msp project here. Link to my Max/msp Project
The organism
The setting
Here is the sketch of my ideal setting.
The electrical conductivity data from the chosen organisms is going to be generated with Max/msp into a visual, then that visual will be projected onto the wall.
The image that is projected in this sketch is from Max/msp.
