This
week I attended an event by Tony Dove, this event was a lecture on how virtual
reality and advancements in technology can help push art into a new direction.
Dove talked about the use of interactivity to navigate in a way that can
connect you to media, the way that she accomplished this was utilizing he
camera to analyze her live movements to scrub through multiple clips with her
hands that can be analyzed and shown through histograms.
A clip that Dove showed was called
“ArchofMothTong_VR_Excerpts”, Dove talked about how the aspect of virtual
reality would trick the body into feeling like it was an out of body
experience, when actually it was and in your body experience, your body
extruded into the screen and your mind was tricked into being in the moment and
you would feel your body for example if you were in a pond in your feet would
have the sensation of feeling water. The Professor also talked about Artificial
changelings and the interest in the embodied interface. After this Dove talked
about a clip with the main character “Spectropia”.
Dove talked about the
dress at the end of her lecture called “the dress that eats souls”, the dress
was basically robotic and when a person would stand in front of the robotic
dress the dress would speak to you and tell you to move, the dress mimicked
your body movement and basically the dress and a person in front of it could go
back and forth. The entire experience was very interesting and I am glad that I
could take part in this experience. Dove is a very good speaker and a very
accomplished artist.

When Dove showed the video introducing the
use of a text speech puppet it was really an impressive display of technology
and art coming together. The Text Speech Puppet technique utilized a character
saying various sequences to get the mouth movements that Dove could scrub
through and create a dialogue with the computer, for example Dove could type in
text into the computer interface and have those words translated into a speech
that the computers default speech code could speak through the video. This
voice that was emulated onto the screen was not the actors actual voice but an
artificial one created by the program Dove used.
