Spodaj je mirujoča slika videa, kjer so nekatera sedišča in vloge že zasedene.
Aplikacija črpa obraze iz podatkovne baze in jih ciklično predvaja.
Underneath is a still image, where some of the places and characters have already been
taken. The application takes faces from the database and runs them in a loop mode.
V dobi neprekinjenega digitalnega nadzora se je razbohotila selektivnost (ki pa ne producira nujno kvalitete) in kot njena posledica restriktivnost.
Na vsakem koraku nas družba bombardira in posredno tudi označuje z različnimi PIN kodami, ki naj bi vsakodnevnost olajševale ter poskrbele za
varnost pred vdorom v intimnost. Gledalec lahko stopi v odnos samo s kodo, ki je v tem primeru enotna matična številka občana. To pa iz
preprostega razloga, ker jo imamo vsi in je tako rekoč neizogibna in nam je dodeljena ob rojstvu. Na podlagi te dobi gledalec samo njemu
namenjeno umetniško delo.
Gledalec, ki ne predloži matične številke, lahko vidi samo prvotno statično sliko.Vsebinsko so videi konglomerat dogodkov, ki nas obdajajo, vsega
restriktivnega in vsega, kar nam daje fiktivni občutek individualnosti. Danes se v vseh teritorijih gibamo nesvobodno. Naš svet je svet fiktivne
svobode, ki shizofreno sobiva z restrikcijami, ki naj bi svobodo varovale. Zato gledalca prisilim, da uporabi svojo lastno družbeno omejenost in le
preko te lahko sodeluje v odnosu z umetniškim delom. Ta mu ponuja vizualizacijo njegove lastne omejenosti. S tem dobi umetnik položaj
opominjevalca ali analitika. Zaradi restrikcije odnosa gledalec-ustvarjalec pa se prekine vsaka možna komunikacija o delu samem in tako postane
ta odnos to, kar bi moral biti: intimnost.
In the age of constant digital control we witness selectivity in full bloom and restriction as its response. On every step, we are bombarded and
marked by society with different PIN codes, which supposedly make our everyday life easier and safer from intrusions into our intimacy. One can
enter the relationship only by using a PIN code, which in this case is a citizen's personal identity number; purely because it is inevitable and is
given to us at birth. This enables you to get your own artwork. If one refuses to give his personal number, one can only see a static picture.
Videos are a sum of events around us, of everything restrictive and of everything that gives us a fictitious sense of intimacy. Today we are
restricted in movement in all possible territories. Our world is a world of freedom that does not really exist and at the same time schizophrenically
lives hand in hand with restrictions, which supposedly guard our freedom. Using a personal number the viewer is offered a visualisation of his
own restrictedness. Through this the artist becomes a preacher and analyser. Because the relationship itself between the artwork and the viewer
is restricted verbal communication about the work is not possible anymore, the relationship becomes what it should be: intimacy.
Program je napisan v Borland Delphiju 7. Sestavljen je iz dveh form (oken). Prva forma omogoča vnos enotne matične številke občana. Glede na
vneseno EMŠO algoritem po pravilih iz uradnega lista (razdelek 345 - Uredba o načinu določanja osebne identifikacijske številke) preveri, če je
vnesena EMŠO pravilna. Nadalje, algoritem glede na izbrano razdelitev EMŠO izbere video posnetke, ki jih bo druga forma predvajala ter pozicijo
predvajanja videov. V primeru, da EMŠO ni pravilna oz. je prekratka, nas program na to opozori. Po vnosu pravilne EMŠO se nam na zaslonu
izpiše okno, v katerem se odšteva čas do začetka video projekcije. Na voljo imamo devet sekund. Drugo okno sestavlja šest uvoženih ActiveX
komponent Windows Media Player ter ozadje kot statična projekcija. V ActiveX komponentah se predvaja video, omembe vredna sta tretja in peta
komponenta, kjer se po končanem prvem posnetku začne predvajati drugi ter nato še tretji video posnetek.
Razdelitev EMŠO: DAN-MESEC-LETO-REGIJA-SPOL-ZAPOREDNO ŠTEVILO-KONTROLNO ŠTEVILO
The program is written in Bordland Delphi 7, composed with two forms (windows). The first form enables the input of the CPIN number. The
algorithm verifies the given CPIN number trough the regulation from the official paper (classification 345-Decree on the regulation of
determination of the citizen's personal identification number). Further, the algorithm with the reference to the chosen division of the CPIN
number chooses videos, which are produced and put into a position of the projection by the second form.
In the case that the CPIN number is not correct or is too short we are notified by the program. The second window is composed with six ActiveX
components Windows Media Player and a background as a static projection. In the ActiveX components the videos are projected. More
interesting are the third and the fifth component, where three videos are projected one after the other.
The division of the CPIN number: DAY-MONTH-YEAR-REGION-SEX-CONSECUTIVE NUMBER-CONTROL NUMBER
TEHNIČNA ZASNOVA IN IZVEDBA
Za realizacijo smo uporabili web-cam, ki zajame obraz obiskovalca. Obiskovalec
sam se poistoveti z eno izmed oseb, v kateri vidi odsev svoje osebnosti, ali pa izbere
neko pozicijo za mizo, ki predstavlja eno izmed oseb. Slika njegovega obraza se
potem shrani v bazo obrazov te določene osebe. S potrditvijo slike se požene video
virtualne večerje, v katero je vključen tudi ta novi obraz.
Kot programski jezik smo uporabili Javo, ki nudi veliko brezplačnih delovnih okolij
in je z uporabo dodatnih knjižnic odlična za obdelovanje grafike. Uporabili smo dve
delovni okolji in sicer Processing in Eclipse.
TECHNICAL SETTING OF THE PROJECT
For the realisation of the project we have used a web-cam that photographs the
face of the user. The user chooses a character or a certain position at the dinner
table. The photograph of a face is then saved in the face archive of the chosen
character. Confirming the taken photograph the video of the virtual dinner starts
with the new face.
As a programming language we used Java, since it offers many working environments
free of charge and it is excellent for graphic design. We used two working
environments, Processing and Eclipse.
