Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are experimenting with new interactive storytelling ideas, from shadow puppets to poetic robots.
Our first experiment is ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, a shadow puppet show featuring Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
This week, we did a number of test to explore different ways to perform these stories with simple puppets, lights, shadows and sounds. We tried using a high-quality projector, which gave us better focus and a greater range of motion than the previous overhead projector. This also lets us project video backgrounds behind the shadow puppets, with very encouraging results.
We then played with a variety of character shapes, from simple wire figures to illuminated objects, talking masks and robot bases. They all showed a lot of promise, and we’ll probably use some of these techniques in different scenes.
Last but not least, we tried using a large mirror to reflect our projector, so that it could be placed right below our shadow screen, instead of five feet away. This has important implications for many of our art projects, where space is limited and projections have to be self-contained.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit this fall at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach. I’m also developing a ‘Magic Theater’ course combining maker art and storytelling for our lower and middle school students.

interactive version of my former work. it's build with actionscript. you can play with it at blob.creanode.com/blob/eu2009/ if you want.
Here's a card I created for day 2 of OCC Holiday Card Workshop.
Love this adorable stamp set from Art Impressions! It comes with an action wobbler - so fun!
Here's a close-up of it in action!
Image was colored with Copic Markers. Background was created using the Simon Says Stamp, Falling Snow Stencil and embossing paste. I also used Simon's Stitched Slopes and Hills dies for my snowbanks.
Thanks for looking! :)

Pyrops whiteheadi & Cockroaches - Danum Valley, Malaysia
My previous photo in my photostream shows ants interacting with a leafhopper in order to obtain honeydew. So I thought it would be interesting to follow up with a different example of the same behavior. This interaction is a bit more unusual as this time its a roach with a lantern bug! There is also actually a second roach but its not visible from this angle. Honeydew is a sugary liquid secreted by certain insects. I have known for a long time ants harvested it from aphids, but I was surprised to see roaches interacting with other bugs for it and I was shocked to learn even geckos will do this! In terms of the ants its mutualism as the ants benefit from the food and the insects they recieve it from benefit from the protection of the ants. A similar interaction has been suggested between the geckos and lanternbugs as the gecko may eat the competing insects. However I'm not sure what benefit if any the lanternbug receives from interaction with cockroaches.
Link to a different view of this behavior:

In the JCB wine tasting experience, visitors' glasses will interact directly with the table via custom capacitive bases engineered in collaboration with Graphene 3D.
Ideum has collaborated with JCB to create an entirely new wine tasting experience for their Napa Valley tasting lounge. Guests gather around a custom Ideum Platform 55 multitouch table with a gold top and black crocodile-skin base. Then they are guided through a 45-minute tasting experience in which they can explore the inspiration for and information about the wines they taste. The table interacts directly with the wine glasses, which have conductive 3D-printed bases made by our partners at Graphene 3D.

I love interactive kids books and this mechanism is one my son loves to do. Turn the circle and the greeting cycles through the window on the front of the card. It says "have a happy day from us"
HA happy day animals.
The tri-fold card open....
(A card for the interactive challenge on Hero Arts blog. I copied the tri-fold from a store bought card my husband gave me for my birthday last week. I used my new background stamp (from Hero ARts of course) and an old HA daisy and butterfly that I had. Colored everything with chalks and added a little glitter.) Thanks for looking!
