Using the pose model in Teachable Machine, we connected different visuals to certain poses that are based on the different types of violence. Alongside the poses are instructions that are read by a synthetic voice to help signify the fear and dehumanization of all of the violence we chose to portray. Overall, paired with the visual effects, we intend to create a sense of anxiety and unease about gun violence.
In the technical aspect, we connected our pose model from Teachable Machine to Max patches through p5js, which sends OSC data to indicate the types of violent images and/or videos to play in response to certain poses. We then process those imageries through Vizzie objects (posterizer, separator, transformer), which are various effects controlled by MIDI, and present the final video. The MIDI also controls the timing of the instructions and the heartbeat background soundtrack.
