Initially, experimenting with the ‘flock of birds’ and ‘birds’ library parts was stimulating. The idea of the ‘flock of birds’ created an interesting example to begin my research and develop ideas from. In the computer generated experiment, it raised questions concerning the leadership role of the flock and the democratic movement of the birds. After viewing a few examples of utube and vimeo, and some global examples of scientific research of the flock of birds, the role of the leader became the integral part of the big picture.
In hope of demonstrating the idea and successfully connecting to the WiiGraph and WiiRemote, finding the leader from the pack and using that icon as the pickpointer of the processing data is the key driver towards my Assignment 3. The sound, imagery and visual qualities of the processing experiment should all revolove around this idea of the leader. Interestingly, the leader may fall back but redeeem itself again and again. As part of the assignment 3, I would like to successfully demonstrate this idea through the processor using the WiiRemote.
