Original Notes (Pre-LLM)

Sum and Part: How sum of part can be archived and displayed differently, presented audio-visually in an aggregated manner, and how this can influence viewers/participants of the act of part

Precise examples:

Starbucks Siren Order, So many siren orders happening all around the globe 24/7, what if there’s one real-time visualisation (on the map or can be more abstractive) which displays the real-time siren order status and pop-ups data accordingly

Same for Delivery services… A real-time audio-visualisation map showing real-time delivery service status

These are the reflection of the society we’re living in, representing the so-called ‘convenience’ triggered by technologies & platform economies, also showing our daily consuming pattern, which might occur only once or twice from the individual’s perspective, but when viewed from collective, comes quite massive, even chaotic.. Creating a sort of ‘불멍' for the contemporary technology-driven consumeristic society. Almost reminiscent of Andreas Gursky’s Frankfurt Photographs – The amplified version of the part.

The interesting part: Part is delivered by the individual’s optimal solution/choice of doing an action (i.e., I would like to deliver because of ____ ____), but the chaotic aggregation of a whole, gives you a pretty much different feeling… The feeling of how society is working… Almost same to watching endless cars crossing Hannam Bridge

Or other examples, related to previous Scream Propagation/Stress Propagation ideation

Scream Propagation: Act of sharing the stress with a global audience in the world. A person can scream on the mobile app, and that information is propagated to another user, most notably the screen which archives & displays the real-time screaming status → Kind of abstractive audio-visual triggered whenever somebody screams. The act of (anonymously) ‘shared screams’

Stress Propagation: Similar, but this time targeting on stress: Large keyboard button-shaped sculpture/sponge, people can hit it whenever they are stressed out → Embedded Arduino sensor triggers websocket signal, and same here → Maybe the screen placed at the lobby, or installation at the museum, is triggered whenever somebody hits the stress button, and displays according audio-visual.

These two acts - Scream/Stress Propagation, aim to make our society more collective. Screaming Alone, expressing stress alone - due to a highly individualistic society, it is now no longer considered ‘normal’ to express everyday stress/scream… Therefore we’re psychologically more separated than ever → Why is Korea ranking No.1 in suicide rate?

Maybe we wouldn’t want to share these screams/stress to our close surroundings, but maybe would want to express our situation somehow… anonymously… (Reasons why communities like Blind/Everytime is flourishing). What if we share this in the form of Multi-Device Web Artwork → We don’t know who is sharing our scream/stress, but we do know that it’s going to be shared to the public – To the public randomly walking through the building lobby, to the random audiences placed across the globe viewing exhibition? This is an act of how web & web technology can be used somehow poetically…. Lots of potential in it. Archiving Art, Real-Time Archiving Art

In the intersection of art and technology, innovative ways to archive and display the sum of individual parts can be explored. Through audio-visual presentations and interactive displays, a collected view can deeply impact the perspective of viewers and participants. For instance, consider popular consumer behaviors like ordering from Starbucks or utilizing delivery services. These actions, occurring globally and continuously, can be visualized in real time on an abstract map showing the status of these activities. This visual representation portrays the societal impact of modern conveniences brought about by advanced technologies and platform economies.

While each individual may only contribute minutely to these happenings, the collected picture is vast and sometimes chaotic. Revealing the massive volumes of our consumption patterns, these displays create a reminiscent reflection of our contemporary technology-driven society. Just like observing endless cars crossing a bridge, these visual displays depict how society operates at large.

This concept can be extended to emotional states as well. Consider sharing stress or a scream with a global community through a mobile application or physical interactive installations. These acts of shared emotion aim to make society more collective, rather than isolated. Such a cathartic release may be countered intuitively in an increasingly individualistic society where expressing everyday stress or dissatisfaction is seen as abnormal.

As such, the prevalence of online communities for anonymous emotional expression is increasing, and this tendency can be transformed into a multi-device web artwork. Despite not knowing who exactly is sharing our stress or scream, the knowledge that it's being expressed to an audience can be cathartic. By integrating art with technology, we not only archive our collective experiences but we also give voice to our shared human experiences in a more accessible and poignant way. This innovative use of web technology unlocks a world of potential for real-time archiving art.

부분과 총체: 부분의 총합이 어떻게 달리 표현되고, 집계된 형태로 시각-청각적으로 보여질 수 있는지, 그리고 이것이 어떻게 행위의 참여자나 관람객에게 영향을 미치는지

자세한 예시:

스타벅스 사이렌 오더, 전 세계에서 24/7 이루어지는 수많은 사이렌 오더, 만약 실시간으로 사이렌 오더 상태를 시각화하여(지도 형태 혹은 더 추상적일 수 있음) 보여줄 수 있다면 어떨까요?

배달 서비스도 마찬가지... 실시간 배달 서비스 상황을 보여주는 오디오-비주얼 맵

이들은 우리가 살고 있는 사회를 반영하며, 기술과 일층이고있는 편리함을 대표하며, 또한 우리의 일상적인 소비 패턴을 보여줍니다. 개인적으로는 한 두 번 정도만 발생하는 것이지만, 집단적으로 바라볼 때는 상당히 기하급수적으로 커지며, 심지어는 혼란스럽다 할 수 있습니다. 이는 현대 기술 주도적 소비 사회에 대한 순간적인 통찰을 제공합니다.

흥미로운 부분: 부분은 개인이 행동을 취하는데 있어 최적의 해결책/선택을 통해 전달되지만, 전체의 혼란스러운 집계는 전혀 다른 느낌을 줍니다...

또는 이전의 스크림 패시브레이션/스트레스 패시브레이션 아이데이션과 관련된 다른 예들

스크림 패시브레이션: 스트레스를 전 세계에 공유하는 행위. 어떤 사람이 모바일 앱에서 소리를 지르면, 그 정보는 다른 사용자에게 퍼져나갑니다.

스트레스 패시브레이션: 비슷하지만, 이번에는 스트레스를 타겟팅한 것입니다.

이 두 가지 행위 - 스크림 패시브레이션과 스트레스 패시브레이션은 우리 사회를 더 집단적으로 만들려는 목표를 가지고 있습니다. 의미없는 소리를 지르거나, 스트레스를 표현하는 것은 현재 매우 개인적인 사회에서는 더 이상 정상적으로 여겨지지 않습니다...

실제로 우리는 이런 스트레스/소리를 가까운 주변에 보여주고 싶지 않을 수도 있습니다. 하지만 어떤 식으로든 우리의 상황을 표현하고 싶을 수 있습니다... 익명으로... 이것이 바로 왜 커뮤니티가 번창하는 이유입니다. 다중 디바이스 웹 아트워크 형태로 이것을 공유한다면 어떨까요? 우리는 누가 우리의 스트레스/소리를 공유하는지 모르지만, 그것이 공개적으로 공유된다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 이것은 웹과 웹 기술이 어떻게 시적인 방식으로 사용될 수 있는지 보여주는 행위입니다. 많은 가능성이 있습니다. 아카이빙 아트, 실시간 아카이빙 아트.
