Welcome to the space where digital and art integrate with each other
Welcome to the space where digital and art integrate with each other. This blog is about the the research,analysis, and idea development for my final year project installation art
This article is made for summaries all my progress this semester
Artist Statement
Environmental issue is become a serious issue now day, to solve the problem, many medium and method has been use. but the apathy and ignorance of human has hasten the speed of destruction of the earth. to give the awareness to people, an interactive installation art was build to remind the duty of people himself. With this installation, hope it can encourage the people to recycle.
Metaphor
Mirror
The purpose of the mirror is to reflect the subject that is in front of the mirror. Human use mirror to take care their appearance. The purpose of using mirror in this installation art is I wish to let audience see and look through the themselves and think what they have done to this world , and think what should they do after experience my installation art.
Target Audience
The Target audience for this installation is made for all genre of people. But, I hope the audience who neglect and shirk their responsibility on recycle will feel guilty and start to think that what they have done to the nature of the mother earth and start to do practice recycle after view my installation art.
Mind Map
Due to growing population and increasing consumption,
Malaysia generates waste at 19,100 tons per day. In Kuala Lumpur waste
generation is about 3,000 tons a day and forecasts shows that this will
increase each year.
The disposal of solid waste has been done almost solely through open landfills.
The Committee on Solid Waste Management announced in 2006 the closure of 16
open dumpsites and announced again in 2007 a closure of 16 open landfills.
Another 17 open landfills out of a total of 155 are expected to be shut down.
There will be a need to build further sanitary landfills and incinerator plants
to prevent water contamination and environmental pollution.
The Government has now focused on reuse, reduction and recycling of materials
and promotes companies that undertake these activities.
On this January 13 2011, I go to Kuala Lumpur area to
take picture and start interview, we depart from 11.30am and return home at
4.30pm.
The journey was very fresh to me, I take a lot of
picture and the place is very dirty, start to interview people the hawker at
the market, and found out different people have different point of view on
recycle. Someone don’t even know what recycle is.
After the field observation, I found out that there are
people who are not care about the recycle matter and throw rubbish anyway.
Information Design
Title: take a look at yourself and make a change
Platform: video installation art
Media : video, sound, image.
Description: after the
audience experience the installation art,
they will feel suspicious. the user also feel they are
cultivate by
the video. After the observation and research, human
being is very
easily influence by other people, and they are be the
one who influence
other people, so through this installation, video on people
will be tool to
persuade and let people have another view about the
pollution and recycle

Game also a interactive process.
technology change our way to interact.
example of interactivity technology are television, webcam touch-screen device , projector etc.
Pollution
major problem in society in every country.
there are many type of pollution, air pollution, light pollution, littering,noise pollution, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, thermal pollution, visual pollution, water pollution.
The effect of pollution are health problem and environmental problem.
pollutant meant waste material.
most of the pollution can be cure if we have the recycle practice.* ( own perspective )
Interactive Art
separate to new media art and old media art
every installation art got its own meaning and its aesthetic purpose.
new media installation art can be gallery base, digital base, electronic base, and mobile.
target audience, research culture is important in installation art
there are many type of installation art, performance art, sound art, street installation conceptual art, video installation and etc.
use object as metaphor to bring or communicate the message that the artist wanted to present.* ( own perspective )

Equipment Studies Mic A microphone (colloquially called a mic or mike is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal. Webcam
A webcam is a video camera that feeds its images in real time to a computer or computer network, often via USB, ethernet, or Wi-Fi.
Their most popular use is the establishment of video links, permitting computers to act as videophones or video conference stations. This common use as a video camera for the World Wide Web gave the webcam its name. Other popular uses include security surveillance and computer vision and there is also uses on sites like video broadcasting service and for recording social videos .
Webcams are known for their low manufacturing cost and flexibility, making them the lowest cost form of videotelephony. They have also become a source of security and privacy issues, as some built-in webcams can be remotely activated via spyware.
Speaker
is an electroacoustic transducer that produces sound in response to an electrical audio signal input. Non-electrical loudspeakers were developed as accessories to telephonesystems, but electronic amplification by vacuum tube made loudspeakers more generally useful. The most common form of loudspeaker uses a paper cone supporting a voice coil electromagnet acting on a permanent magnet, but many other types exist. Where accurate reproduction of sound is required, multiple loudspeakers may be used, each reproducing a part of the audible frequency range. Miniature loudspeakers are found in devices such as radio and TV receivers, and many forms of music players. Larger loudspeaker systems are used for music, sound reinforcement in theatres and concerts, and in public address systems.
Sensor
A sensor (also called detector) is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometerconverts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by avoltmeter. For accuracy, most sensors are calibrated against known standards.
Projector
A video projector is an image projector that receives a videosignal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through manual settings. Video projectors are widely used for many applications such as, conference room presentations, classroom training, home theatre and concerts. Projectors are widely used in many schools and other educational settings, sometimes connected to an interactive whiteboard to interactively teach pupils.

Research Analysis
paper pollution
The production and use of paper has a number of adverse effects on the environment which are known collectively as paper pollution. Pulp mills contribute to air, water and land pollution. Discarded paper is a major component of many landfill sites, accounting for about 35 percent by weight of municipal solid waste (before recycling). Even paper recycling can be a source of pollution due to the sludge produced during deinking.
According to a Canadian citizens organization, "People need paper products and we need sustainable, environmentally safe production." The amount of paper and paper products is enormous, so the environmental impact is also very significant. It has been estimated that by 2020 paper mills will produce almost 500,000,000 tons of paper and paperboard per year,[4] so great efforts are needed to ensure that the environment is protected during the production, use and recycling/disposal of this enormous volume of material.
Pulp and paper is the third largest industrial polluter to air, water, and land in both Canada and the United States, and releases well over 100 million kg of toxic pollution each year.
Worldwide, the pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy, accounting for four percent of all the world's energy use. The pulp and paper industry uses more water to produce a ton of product than any other industry.
paper recycling
Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper products. There are 3 categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for making recycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste, and post-consumer waste.Mill broke is paper trimmings and other paper scrap from the manufacture of paper, and is recycled internally in a paper mill. Pre-consumer waste is material which left the paper mill but was discarded before it was ready for consumer use.Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as old corrugated containers (OCC), old magazines, old newspapers (ONP), office paper, oldtelephone directories, and residential mixed paper (RMP).Paper suitable for recycling is called "scrap paper", often used to produce molded pulp packaging. The industrial process of removing printing ink from paperfibers of recycled paper to make deinked pulp is called deinking, an invention of the German jurist Justus Claproth.
Critical Comment on Human Behavior
pollution and recycling activity have a very important relationship with human behavior people attitude and people the way of thinking can change the whole society and environment. Human behavior may different each other by the influence of culture, attitude, value, ethic, social, education etc. we should educate the people on recycle issue and give awareness to the people before it is too late.
After discussion and presentation on last week,i decided to use first proposal ( we play to save the world ) I choose this topic because .
Refined Proposal
Topic: Interactive Recycle Bin
Background: Due to growing population and increasing consumption, Malaysia generates waste at 19,100 tons per day. In Kuala Lumpur waste generation is about 3,000 tons a day and forecasts shows that this will increase each year. The disposal of solid waste has been done almost solely through open landfills.

Aim: create a new experience and give people awareness on the important of recycle through the new media technology
Objective: -to encourage people to recycle. -to give people awareness on pollution and environmental issue. -to let people have new experience when they do recycle.
Problem Identification: Environmental issue always the troublesome issue in the society nowadays, especially at the urban area, government and NGO ( Non Government Organisation ) try best to solve the problem. Environmental issue not only make the society become a filthy city but also decline the living of standard of that community. Natural ecology also affected by environmental issue.By using the advantage of technology available i hope this installation can evoke the important of recycle or environmental .
Project title: We play to save to earth.
Idea and Concept: For this project, i want to create an installation that allow user to interact and have fun when recycle. The installation will focus down on paper.
Target Audience: to the people who live in urban area who live in digital world.
Motivation: As we can see nowadays, disaster like flash flood, earthquake, tsunami,global warming.People healthy and safety level are keep decline day by day.it all begin with human attitude. I hope, by using the technology, we can warn and prevent all this before it is too late. We can also change the thinking of people that recycle can be actually fun and excited.
Review Analysis and precedence studies:
The rubbish after the a concert.
The rubbish thrown and unprocessed.
The worlds deepest bin
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun to do? See the results here ( from http://thefuntheory.com/)
Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that's because we don't get any money in return, as we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good conscience, you also get a smile. See the results here.
