Interactive art is rapidly becoming a part of cosmopolitan society through public displays, video games, and art exhibits. It is a means of exploring the connections between our physical bodies and the virtual world. However, a sense of disconnection often exists between the users and technology because users are driving actions within an environment from which they are physically separated. This research involves the creation of a custom interactive, immersive, and real-time video-based mark-making installation as public art. Using a variety of input devices including video cameras, sensors, and special lighting, a painterly mark-making experience is contemporized, enabling the participant to immerse himself in a world he helps create. This work illustrates the potential of making the user-technology disconnection more seamless between the physical and virtual worlds. Using unobtrusive interfaces, the user?s physical interactions can be encouraged. The development of this installation progressed through improvements based on user feedback from iterative public displays of the work. This process is to serve as a guideline for other artists working in interactive media who are also exploring perceived intimacy in user interactions.

As humans and society have evolved, living has become more abstract and individualized. This report on the creative project discusses the artistic process and how each of the five works personalized or called attention to the abstractness of a beholder's existence. Each of the mixed-media works centered around a hand-built ceramic granary form which referenced the human drive to store resources. During exhibition at Ball State University, beholders would construct an association to storage by resolving the disparities caused by the mix of images and materials in each artwork.The artistic process was defined into three categories of experiences: personal investigation, experimentation and skill-building. A major component of personal investigation was the development of the Visual Vocabulary, a collection of devices, images and ideas from the artist's life experiences. The experimentation category occurred when the elements of the visual vocabulary were conceptualized into a scenario for an artwork. The physical work involved in making each artwork was part of the skill-building category. How each work was constructed and the exhibition was also discussed. / Department of Art
