Introduction 簡介
我們去逛個夜市吧?
夜市讓台灣的夜晚, 在三五好友的陪伴下, 增添了幾分新奇, 悠閒, 享受, 期待, 與驚喜的回憶. 夜市不是個餐廳, 卻讓好友們垂涎三尺. 夜市不是迪斯耐樂園, 卻讓人流連忘返在撈魚, 打砂袋 等等小競賽當中. 夜市不是昂貴的百貨公司, 但是卻有可能找到令人驚奇的玩意. 夜市沒有固定的面貌, 每晚都是一種風貌, 熱鬧與蕭條最直接反映了夜市的生命. 夜市並不屬於任何一人或是單位, 它的活力與生命力, 反映了這個城市與文化的另一面, 遊走在合法與非法之間.
夜市2006 帶來了一個前所未有的創作環境, 任何的想法皆可藉由工作坊所提供的運算與感測科技, 配合藝術概念而加以呈現. 這個創作環境是由工研院創意中心, 國立台灣美術館, 美國麻省理工學院媒體實驗室(MIT Media Lab), 台灣大學遍佈運算實驗室(NTU Ubicomp Lab),以及成功大學資訊建築研究室(Information Architecture Lab)共同提供資源並合作.
夜市2006 的邀請成員主要為美國麻省理工學院媒體實驗室(MIT Media Laboratory)的科學家與藝術創作家, 包括了IBM Trackpoint(一點紅)發明家-塞克教授(Prof. Ted Selker), 千里共飲情人對杯的發明家-李佳勳(Jackie Lee)與鄭慧敏(Hyemin Chung), 讓電腦用人工智慧說故事的沈育德(Edward Shen), 網路藝術創作家-林昇源(Francis Lam), 研究未來通訊科技的張朝騏(Chaochi Chang), 以及現在就讀於麻省理工學院建築研究所中, 以前在淡水夜市賣燒烤的林家樑(Michael Lin), 地域式情境主義設計師-趙奕翔(Daniel Chao), 加上在芬蘭赫爾辛基媒體實驗室的諾基亞(Nokia)資深研發科學家-辛波(Jurgen Scheible)博士, 以及來自米蘭多摩設計學院具有中醫學專業的-廖瑩怡(Fanny Liao)醫生.
這十位藝術科學家將帶來科技藝術創作的新觀點與工具,讓學生及研究員可以充分發展想法並不受技術上的限制. 預計將創作出以夜市為應用場所的科技藝術作品, 並結合產,官,學界共同討論。
夜市工作坊 Nightmarket 2006 (06.16-06.18) 活動時程表Agenda
今年度的”夜市2006”，延續了2005 年的亞洲真實國際設計工作營2005 中的夜市主題。在去年冬天為期五天的亞洲真實國際設計工作營2005 ，麻省理工學院(MIT)帶來的互動設計工具與實作經驗，參與學生們成功地完成了「垂涎三尺」, 「尖叫夜市」, 「影動」, 與「台客KTV」等等的互動裝置藝術作品。這些作品展現了建築、藝術、與設計相關科系學生們的創意與實作能力，將台灣本土夜市的文化特質結合了科技應用，帶來了台灣本土科技藝術創作的新方向。亞洲真實國際設計工作營2005 的成功經驗催生了夜市2006 工作坊，藉由藝術家們更深入的文化探討，加上科學家們進行發明創作的實作能力，將帶來台灣本土科技藝術新的創作方向。
Eat-Eat-Eat, Screaming Market, and Taiker KTV will be presented in SIGGRAPH 2006 in Boston on July 30- Aug. 3, 2006. 垂涎三尺’, ‘尖叫夜市’, 與‘台客KTV’等等的互動裝置藝術作品與亞洲真實設計工作坊的經驗, 將於全世界最具權威的電腦圖學與互動科技會議SIGGRAPH上進行發表。
TaiKer-KTV enhances the interactivity of the performer and the environment for a more responsive and joyful karaoke space. TaiKer-KTV demonstrates how karaoke players engaged with the song can interact with the whole physical space based on their physical reaction and body movement.
Karaoke (KTV) is very popular in Asia for entertainment and social events. Karaoke TV might reduce people inhibition by focusing people on its screen dance. TaiKer-KTV extends this be requiring people to express themselves with own figures and body movements for on screen performance. KTV is presented from traditional karaoke context, called Tai-Ker KTV (TKTV), which exploits 'head-shaking dance' to enrich the environmental projection as a way to support group performance. The purpose is to amplify 10/10 the group activity phenomenon in KTV and to create an interactive way to enhance the joyful and relaxing atmosphere as well as to enrich the KTV experience with fun.
TaiKer characteristics were implemented into this music Flash KTV, allowing people to influence the karaoke environment with their head shaking dance. TaiKer-KTV responds to the party interactively. Whenever people are nodding or shaking their heads, it enhances the visual experience in the party environment with rotating and blinking lights.
'Tai-Ker,' or 'Taiwanese-style guest' in literal translation, is one particular kind of culture on the lower civic level to which native rock stars claim to belong. In Taiwanese dancing circles, Tai-Ker's always have strong visual images and vivid outfits. They like techno music, patterned design shirt, black suits, white socks on black shoes, blue and white slippers, betel nut, and screaming while dancing...etc. Shaking and nodding heads along with the beat of the techno is a common part of the KTV culture.
In the implementation, an interactive music video was created in Adobe Flash and was projected on a wall. The lyrics go with a nodding head indicator to lead singing and dancing. The video is kept still and dull if it doesn't get enough attention, getting more animated only whenever people dance like Tai-Kers. Furthermore, the more people are engaged, the more special visual effects are applied. Some general rules have been defined for the techniques of the music video:
If one moves his/her body, the image gets clearer.
If one nods his/her head, image switches faster.
If one shakes his head, the environmental light flashes more dramatically.
If there are multiple people participating, the media elements (i.e. symbols, visual effects, texts and recorded screaming voices) have an additive effect, creating a vivid mix of sound and imagery.
The T-KTV system contains a webcam, a video projector, Flash music video and the Attention Meter system, as show in Figure 6. The webcam is used to observe participants, and a video projector outputs the media for singer-machine-audience interaction. The contextual data, including number of participants, their attention, and whether they are moving, nodding, or shaking their head is interpreted by the Attention Meter system, determining the level of movements, especially for Tai-Ker dancing. A typical rave-party anthem-'Mei-Fay-Se-Wu' by Sammi Cheng is selected as the featured song. A Flash movie was implemented based on the song and receives interaction parameters from the Attention Meter, displaying an appropriate response on the wall projection with environmental visual effects.
This system was completely compelling. Around 100 people came up to it and immediately began making strong movements to make the people on the screen dance. Participants spontaneously tried to get others to join. The ease and success at creating a feeling of inhibition in the user was striking.
ScreamMarket is an interactive night-market show that interacts with audience’s attention and feedbacks. This system demonstrated how audience engaged with the performance by monitoring their visual attention and audio feedbacks. The interactive show is implemented in Adobe Flash with Attention Meter as an attention-based triggering mechanism.
The Scream Market presents an animation of two Taiwanese girls if an audience is paying attention to the stage. When the crowd shows their interest and screams, the virtual girls dance and entertain them.
ScreamMarket transformed the Taiwanese traditional night market
experience into a virtual and simulated space. In the beginning, an image of stage in night marketplace is blurred, but it gets clearer when the audiences pay attention to it. If more people are gathering in front of the stage, the dancers will show up. The audience can yell to respond to the stage and get visual feedback.
ScreamMarket is implemented in Flash with Attention Meter. By using a microphone, as the volume of the audience increases, the performers become more active and entertaining. The process of interaction is similar to the behavior that we watch the interactive show or bargain with the hawker in the night market. According to the method of interaction, the users are not simply viewers, but also performers in their own right. 30 people took turns in an exhibition interacting with the ScreamMarket. People were able to figure out and use it within a minute. It constrains output based on the regular environment noise, so that people may need to scream very loudly to interact with the Flash movie. The atmosphere of the interaction creates a realistic simulation of the night market.
Eat-Eat-Eat is a game for visually exploring food alternatives in a night marketplace. The system demonstrates that body motion and audio inputs can be mapped as an avatar inside the projected screen. As moving around to catch the food dropping from the sky, the player needs hold a microphone to yell and speak the name of the food loudly to get the food eaten and counted into scores.
This game was designed under the context of the Taiwanese night marketplace which is full of food, gadgets, toys and clothes. Lots small restaurants and various kinds of food are people's typical impression of a night marketplace. People tend to have lots of different kinds of small dishes during that night. Eat-Eat-Eat collected 20 different typical Taiwanese small dishes.
The game starts after a player loudly speaks "I AM HUNGRAY!" The night market scene begins from small dishes dropping from the sky and moving around the screen. Based on the video input from a WebCAM, the player can control the avatar to move from left to right inside the screen. The player has to yell "EAT" or the name of the dish to catch them and count into scores.
Eat-Eat-Eat system was well-implemented in Adobe Flash. The demonstration in the workshop was stable and compelling. Around 50 people had played this interactive night market eating game. Visitors who played this game all agreed that they felt a bit hungry after seeing the delicious food photos and expressing their desire in eating by speaking the name of dishes loudly.
This game showed its interactivity that uses human body motion and voice-input in a context of night marketplace eating experience. Attention Meter allows tracking body movement as simple external input parameters in Flash. This team also implemented voice-input for multimodal interaction that enables players to yell and speak loudly to interact with the game.
