[Exhibition] DaDa Fish

Peters' Elephantnose

The elephantnose fish has poor eyesight and uses a weak electric field, which it generates by muscular contractions, to find food, to navigate in dark or turbid waters, and to find a mate. (description by Wikipedia) The human use a linguistic for communication but this fish use a electric sounds. Even if human never hear that sound directly, they are commnunicating each other. We want to express the each fish's thought. It is not nessasorry what they are talking. Most important thing is that they control the machine in real time.

The movement of each visual is cotrolled by the Perers' Elephantnose.

Background
The woman covered their face and the upper half of the body using her clothes(called “쓰개치마” [sseogae skirt]) at the Joseon Dynasty. This culture is based on Confucian ideas. The woman must hide their body to the man when they go out. This fact shows that hiding their face means keeping their privacy. So what should we hide in the 21st century for keeping our privacy.

Goals
During life we use lots of electronic machines, especially TV, computer and mobile phone. They have a similar function that control the device. Because this devices has a key board that is number and direction. I focus one that. The number key buttons are easy to match the direction key. For example, 2 is up, 4 is left, 6 is right, and 8 is down. Without the hesitation, we can use there functions.
Especially, mobile phones are a necessity in the modern life without distinction of age or sex. And the mobile phone also represents myself. Almost everyone has a mobile phone. If I use a mobile phone that will be more easy to communicate with others.
However, we have to be careful. Using the mobile phone is always recording, for example time of call, contents of call and where you are now. When a person calls somebody, even if you don’t want to show who you are, the number of your mobile phone is exposed. That situation also means that your privacy is exposed. For this kind of problem made a Caller ID Spoofing (calling line identification restriction : *23 + phone number) service. But this service is uncomfortable and a receiver gets an unpleasant feeling. That’s why people don’t use this service any more expect on special cases. Like this situation, I want to express that when you push the number buttons on your mobile to make a telephone call you not only connect with another person that other person now knows your number.

Method (Scenario)
In the dark of the night, there is a woman using a mobile phone. The more she uses this a mobile phone, the video is come bigger and bigger through the wall. The video is about the person who answers the phone. This performance shows the your privacy is exposed in the public place.

Background
Humans have five senses sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch; a classification attributed to Aristotle.
When people have an experience, we can get a feeling through those 5 senses. It may be happy, angry, upset ,sad and so on.
That kind of feeling is different from person to person even same situation. The feeling is so complex and delicate. Sometimes It is hard to explain just one word.

Idea sketch


Goals
I want to share that kind of personal feeling. Without a word we can not understand each other.
For this project, I will tell my personal fact on what makes me feel better. Usually the makeup brings the psychological expectation effect. In my case, I am affected by nail color. I always change my nail color almost every week. It can control my clothes, makeup and feeling. I want to clarify the relation between nail color and emotion.
Especially I want to talk with the different sex. The male and female have different thinking processes. Because the male develops the sense of sight and the female a more sensitive touch. So they use the opposite method for their communication. I use the sight factor for woman and touch factor for man.

Method
The system is vibrating black box that controlled by nail color. When woman put their nails in the hole, the sensor recognizes the color and makes a different vibration to man’s body directly.
It is not necessary to talk. The color is so various. So I chose two negative colors. That is red and blue. In the symbolism, the blue color often uses for trust and calm. However, the red color uses for desire and passion.

Thesis Abstract

The beginning, a human follow the nature’s rules.
They adapt oneself to circumstances. Then, development of human intelligence use nature.

A human said, we are the only species to use letters. They feel that we are superior than animals. That is a reason why humans use nature. Of course, humans overcome many difficulties using technology such as disease and food. However, unconcerned for nature is not the answer.
On the other hand, a animal follows nature and nature existed before humans. They have a balance and make self controlling.

Now is time to use technology for communication among different characters. we can talk and feel each other while technology can help to translate their languages. Humans have letters and animals have a body languages. Especially, a computer is in the center of technology. It can connect both species.
Also, humans can easily connect with others using mobile phones and internet. I want to try to find a solution without limitation of time and place.

To hear the other animal’s voice to communicate with the animal, we have to speak their language.
