Project 01 Physical Computing Illustration Interactive Storytelling
The Sirens of Titan
‘The Sirens of Titan’ is a novel of Kurt Vonnegut. Since I was very impressed this book, I designed series of works which are inspired by the novel. I used various kinds of media to deliver contents of the book.
The Sirens of Titan
The first series is ‘illustrations’. I designed it for e-book. If users touch a screen, component interact by making sounds and movements. To describe the scenes of book, I used ‘paper art’ as a way. I took photos of friends, printed them out on a hard board paper and cut them out, drew some backgrounds for those paper dolls(of my friends), as if they are hanging out in the surrealistic world. and each of work describes a scene in a story.
The Sirens of Titan
Group Work : My Role concept, visual concept, drawing, illustration, making lights, make a story line
The second method is‘interactive story telling’. this work has re-analized the story of book and expresses the story more interestingly.(although the book has interesting story) firstly i built a structure of story to figure out relations between each charactors and put them into few situations. It has five different endings with various options of choice. so it lets users to play by choosing differ answers. unlikely the book lets readers to follow with only one story, my work makes people be able to interact with stories. this also intends to let users experience the book with synesthesia.(touching,looking,hearing)

How to read this work
Story architecture
The Sirens of Titan
==
We used DC motors to make movements and made gear to make different movements .
We made a shape of ‘Harmoniums: lives which lives in _ ) and made a mold by _. Silicon is outcome to inhance texture of life-Harmonium. Around Harmonium, LED made light and enhance mood.
The Sirens of Titan
Light sensor sense the light of hands and audience make their own story.
The Sirens of Titan In ‘the Sirens of Titan’, Harmoniums eat sound and increase their number. so as fourth method, i used ‘projection mapping’. at first it just looks like some kind of amoeba. and it gets complicated as the volume has turned up making fractal formations.
Project 02 Typography Illustration VMD
Someone in the universe might love me I got this feeling that someone up in the sky might be watching me always. It feels like i’m being observed i’m aware of the gaze. I think that there is a planet and there is another kind of life who always sees me.
Someone from upstairs might love me
The first illustration-patterns of lives.
Someone from upstairs might love me
I named these planet - ‘i101’
Someone from upstairs might love me
The image of a life becomes more simple, there are eyes always gaze at me. I used a typography to deliever not only a message but also a image.
Someone from upstairs might love me
Typography & paper arts - those are used to express the image of eyes
Someone from upstairs might love me
This is what I made to print on the poster
Someone from upstairs might love me
Group Work : My Role planning, concept, visual concept, make planets, video, paper art, painting, lazer cutting
The third method is ‘VMD project’. I used various media and materials to describe the concept and mood of planet-’i-101’. There is an eye on painted blue bat(i call it a life), which is always gazing at me, the blue colour is thermochromic pigment when audience is around or touches the bat, it changes it’s colour into the same as the other objects around it so it can hide itself and audience doesn’t get to recognize it.

A-E-I-O-U
A-E-I-O-U is a cute, adorable and sexy life-size furry doll. If audience touches, pets, pricks or tickles the doll, it moans ‘a-e-i-o-u’. A-E-I-O-U is a sexy instrument which has synesthetic interaction with audience by tactual interface based on touch sensors.
Group Work : My Role idea, concept, visual concept, managing assistants, sewing, finding fabric, investing technology, infographic design etc. (most part of the process)
Recently, typical characters are being disappeared. People prefer frank, humorous, and ridiculous things such as animations like South Park, Adventure Time and so on. These types of animations have not only unpredictable and ironic, but also funny story. This kind of stories reflect our lives more than typical stories. In our oppinion, people adore silly and stupid characters, since it resembles our reality more.
> The first sketch make people feel weird and an unusual experience. e.g. a luminous rabbit bunny(France)
Reference the movements of fur Nick Kave
Reference a interactive work based on tactic sense.

Structure
The first design We thought this design is not suitable to make ironic feelings with sexual moarning sound due to the colour. We decided to change our first design.
Serching diverse fur in the market
The final design of ‘A-E-I-O-U’
Circuit - use touch sensors - use program : Processing, Arduino
Conductor Arrangement
Sewing We sewed all component and use fabric electric wires to keep soft texture of the fur
Uh~~uh~! Oh! oh! oh!
Ooou~
Ah-ah-ah-
Sound Design The doll moans differently by the patterns. Audiences turn ‘A-E-I-O-U’ on, if they touch upper part of their body.
a Life Size Doll
This is what we showed in an exhibition. We set white veil, translucent balloonds and an pincky red light which uses at red light district to enhance sexual moods.
