In an earlier post I wrote about the ku video generator I am working on for the ku*kuroo** kukuroo short film contest on April 7th at RCC Hec 132. The installation, as envisioned, will be able to sense a ku poet approaching the installation via a hacked xBox Kinect. it will then prompt for a poem in ku form. The ku poet types the ku on the keyboard and the ku generator searches the web for images associated with each word, then displays them on the 6 old tv's I scavenged from Chip's shed.
As i was sketching out the workflow for the installation I thought I would give it a try manually. (Big Lebowski pun intended). I did it with Google Images, Yahoo! Images and Bing Images. the next three blogs are the results. Due to the volume of images associated with each word and in an effort not to impose any personal preference to the images selected I chose the images in the order their corresponding syllable appears in the ku. For example, my ku is: ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, BABY. From left top of the screen to the right, All = image 1 YOU = image 2 NEED = image 3 IS = image 4 LOVE = image 5 BABY = images 6 and 7 (two syllables) |
