(6)Roel Wouters and Jonathan Puckey, of Conditional Design, always seem to be able to inject fun, innovation and audience participation into their interesting photography or video projects.
Their prior project, One Frame of Fame, saw the creation of a music video with the help of a growing online audience. The aim of the game is that they show us a frame from the music video that has already been created, then anyone with a webcam was able to copy that frame, with themselves as the star. You can submit your own frame to be included in the video along with others who have also submitted their version.
Throughout the More is Less music video, the homemade copy cats are introduced to match the frames of the original video, creating a layering effect throughout. The video is still open for submissions, with 29,711 people having participated so far.
Their latest photography project is also pretty interesting, and again interactive. Flitser.org is a site that hosts a number of photographs that were taken by people who downloaded the Flitser app for iPhone 4. With the app, people were required to take pictures in a reflective surface, using the flash from the phone, then submitting them to the project.
Once uploaded, the photographs are then manipulated in a variety of ways by visitors to the site. There is a setting called Follower, for example, where moving the cursor across the screen sees the photographs quickly changing, with the position of the flash in the image following your cursor.
In another setting entitled Circle, the photographs interchange quickly, with the instances of the flash drawing the outline of a circle. It's definitely fun to have a quick play around, and we hope to see more creative projects like this in the future!
