data collection

Data collection is a crucial part of the installation in that it gives us the opportunity to use this data in anyway we wish, both in the present and the future. Currently, the main purpose is to create the on-screen visuals.
:: Each step on an active tile will trigger the record mode
:: Recording continues until there is 3 minutes of no activity (This number can be changed once the installation is in place). At that time, sequenced data will be played back in reverse until another tile is triggered or the playback returns to the beginning. >> Loop
:: When data is played back, the corresponding tiles will light up with the correctly stored intensity values
:: Types of data collected:
.: Color intensity and saturation based on the velocity of the step
.: Length of sustain on the active tile
.: On/off events
.: Note(s)
.: Selected voice / instrument
.: Date/Time
   
Video Display:
:: 12’x12’ video screen
::
Location and color of tile directly relates to the location of the graphic on screen
Circles will appear on screen:
   
.: Continue to grow based on the length of the sustain
.: Color based on color of tile and velocity
   
:: Unlimited possibilities once we have the data
