Whispers of the Fan: An Interactive Installation Artwork Based on Arduino Sensors Integrated with TouchDesigner
摘要
In the current era, digital art has been applied in various industries, especially in interactive art exhibitions that combine projection and installation in public spaces. These exhibitions offer memorable experiences with their fantastical and multidimensional interactions. The rapid development of new media technology has accelerated the creation and dissemination of technical art, transforming the mediums of communication, content creation, and expression. Against this backdrop, interactive installation art has emerged as a new form of artistic creation. TouchDesigner is a software suitable for sensor integration and artistic design. This study demonstrates the generation of manageable digital signals through audience interaction with light-dependent sensors and wind speed sensors connected to Arduino UNO devices. The research examines the application of digital design techniques, such as projection and sensor installation design, in conjunction with cultural and historical contexts and established prop fans, using the creation of the interactive game Whispers of the Fan as an example. This text investigates the use of innovative sensor devices and experimental artistic creation by integrating TouchDesigner into art. It aims to digitize material cultural heritage into digital art and combine installation art with spatial exhibitions, providing new avenues for future installation art expression.
