Bubble Pop!
by LI Chun Hei
Do you like the colorful world? Have you played the bubbles in your childhood? It is my memory of my childhood. I would like to bring the happiness to all audiences.
I would like to refer the color gun in 2007, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBVsIf1XxZ8, Audiences can blow the membrane on the stick, just like playing the bubble. Then different color of bubbles will form on the screen. The bubbles on the screen can bump with other, creating different sound. Audiences also can have interaction with bubbles. They can crack the bubble the produce “pop” sound. Therefore the audience can play this installation like playing the musical instruments with a colorful picture on the screen.
I would like to put a membrane on the stick to detect the pressure that blow from the audiences. The signal will send to the center computer to analyze. Then bubbles with create on the screen by the project. Moreover, the audience can have interaction with the bubble by the detector in front of the screen. It will detect the motion of the audience. Actually the bubble has different color and also different sound effect. When the bubble bump with other bubble or even is cracked by audience, it will produce different sound that analyze by the center computer.
In Hong Kong, many people have a lot of pressure. I would like to set up this media art to bring them into a colorful and relax world. They can enjoy the fun and recall the memory of the childhood.
This media art work is not only creating a beautiful picture on the screen. The sound effect is also important. It would like the output of the sound like playing the piano. So the bubble in this system is represent different value, different pitch. The audience can play this installation to create their own picture and music.
