Memory Management Details
This project was created over the course of 10 months with a team of 3 other people.
Telephone
Gabe Butler
This telephone station involves an automatic ringing rotary phone that plays a voicemail when answered. The phone connects to a computer via Bluetooth, and that computer connects to a cell phone through Wi-Fi. Python code uses the Twilio API to call the cell phone and play an audio file (a pre-recorded voicemail). Click here to view the full code.
Transformative Mirror
KC Yeneza (w/ Dahn Bi Chong & Gabe Butler)
My teammate, KC, was responsible for creating the transformative mirror using TouchDesigner. When in status, it will display an office setting. However, when someone approaches the station they will see a silhouette of themselves and the background will change to childhood memories. I assisted KC with editing the background and transition videos. Our teammate, Dahn, built the mirror frame. Click here to learn more details on KC's portfolio.
Television
Gabe Butler
The television station allows users to operate a VCR and watch VHS tapes. I created the videos using Premiere Pro then burned the footage to VHS tapes using a VCR & HDMI to AVI adapter. Click here to view the full videos.
Desk
Esther San Diego & Dahn Bi Chong (w/ Gabe Butler)
My teammates, Esther and Dahn, developed the narrative of the installation. They wrote various notebooks that appear throughout the room that provide more details on the story told throughout the other stations. This desk acts as the starting point of the exhibition with an orientation video (edited by myself) that explains the goals for the audience.
Environment
KC Yeneza, Dahn Bi Chong, Esther San Diego
The background projections in the wall of the room were created by KC using TouchDesigner & Resolume Arena. Dahn built various textures that connect the stations and selected the colors of the spotlights in MAX/MSP. Esther composed ambient music that plays in the space using Ableton.
