Here is a work in progress. This animation is to be displayed on four or five smartphones or tablets. The speakers will be playing the sound of the noise needed to generate the image. The screens will be hanging from a large baby mobile or an Alexander Calder style mobile.
Imagine entering a dimly lit room. You see this video playing on a bunch of floating screens that rotate above a crib. You walk closer to the crib and see that the video is playing on smartphones as part of a baby mobile.
As you get closer to the crib a TV screen on the wall behind the screen lights up and then goes gradually dark starting from the top to the bottom, guiding your eyes downward.
Down into the crib. In the crib there is a baby with your face on it. The screen above the crib shows a live video of the baby in the crib so other viewers of the piece around you can see what is in the crib.
There will be a crib and in the crib is a baby doll with a face that a image is projected onto from under the crib.
A camera and computer running OpenCV will monitor for a face looking at the piece. The face of the observer will be projected inside the baby's face.
Another camera will be pointed down at the baby and broadcast the image to a screen behind the sculpture on the wall.
I am using money from any patrons I have on Patreon to complete this piece. I need a small digital projector and a large TV screen.
Do you have any old smartphones or tablets you could contribute to the work?
