Tagging for TV: Design Document

2007-05 , Lausier, Annie

In recent years, television has developed from a limited set of shows constrained by a fixed timeslot into a veritable viewer’s choice of channels, shows, and times. In addition, we have seen the rise of the complex episodic series that encourages replay. Meanwhile, the Internet has grown into a media-rich, customizable experience for users who have become familiar with the concept of tagging items with keywords to foster the organization of a network. Broadcast has begun to merge with broadband in many forms, but viewers still have little to help them navigate through a show. This project, Tagging for TV, brings tagging from the Internet to television as a social, viewer-generated means of organizing data.

Murmur : kinetic relief sculpture, multi-sensory display, listening machine

2007-05 , Rydarowski, Aimee

Today, increasingly varied modes of data representation, coupled with accessible technological resources, have democratized the field of information visualization and opened computing to new user groups. This environment has created a critical mass of consumer-creators who serve up information baked, sautéed, flambéed, stuffed, roasted, pureed, boiled, braised, steamed and flash fried to audiences with discerning pallets. By thoughtfully varying data representation, we can increase opportunities for information to be thoroughly digested. Murmur is a multi-sensory display, an interactive kinetic relief sculpture and listening machine. The design intention is to balance these elements so they enhance one another and are still compelling when considered separately. The aural information that Murmur presently displays is representative of the combination of environmental as well as self-produced sounds picked up by its sensors.
