Tween
- A Series of Dynamic Ephemeral Video Transitions -
Description
The chart below outlines the basic input/output process of ‘Tween’. Images input by participating artists will be blended with potentially any other image in the database and result in an image that will be available for public viewing. The output from the system is simply an image stored on the server and whenever a user reloads a webpage a new transition, or blended image, is generated randomly from the images currently stored in the databases.

The chart outlines a simple view of the image generation potential of the work and does not represent the possibilities in terms of how the images might be experienced by an audience. At present the only view the public has of the work is through the webpage provided here, and the event that generates the blended images is the reloading of that webpage. However it is possible that each image being generated by the reloading event can be stored and accumulated for use in printed form. Another example can be viewed here. In this case a total of nine images are stored on the server and these are constantly overwritten as the webpage is being loaded. The nine current images are linked to a flash presentation which is projected on a wall in a gallery space. The flash presentation links to the images every 10 seconds and any new images that have been generated will be automatically presented in the gallery. Equally the event that generates the images could be taken from any context such as a physical space by sensor input. Any artist who is contributing to the dataset of images may use the system in any way they wish.
