Project 2 SITE ! INSTALLATIONS, OBSERVATION, AND MAKING S***

1 Identify a Site:

Providence Market Place (US) + Beijing Tiantan Park (China)

2 Watch that site:

image of the park in providence,US:





image of park in tiantan Park, Beijing, China







3 Make recording of what you observe in that site in some way that is interesting to you

I was quite interested in the different countries park culture. Beijing tiantan Temple is
one of our traditional Parks in China there are a lot of morning exercises sound of the
people, I want to migrate the sound to Providence park.

4 make something that intervenes in that site based on the recordings you made and what you observed.

Through the technology in GPS in landscape people in providence park (market square) in fixed region will hear the sound
of Tiantan Park morning exercises on-site voice.

"Agency" --examples for the robot

Example:

AIBO was one of several types of robotic pets designed and manufactured by Sony; Able to walk, "see" its environment via camera, and recognize spoken commands, they are considered to be autonomous robots, since they are able to learn and mature based on external stimuli from their owner or environment, or from other AIBOs. AIBO runs on its pink Memory Stick. The Life AIBOware allows the robot to be raised from pup to fully grown adult while going through various stages of development as its owner interacts with it. The Explorer AIBOware allows the owner to interact with a fully mature robot able to understand 100 voice commands. Without the AIBOware, the AIBO will run in what is called "clinic mode" and can perform basic actions.
Many AIBO owners enjoy teaching their pets new behaviors by reprogramming them (in Sony's special 'R-CODE' language).
The AIBO has seen use as an inexpensive platform for artificial intelligence research, because it integrates a computer, vision system, and articulators in a package vastly cheaper than conventional research robots. AIBO's complete vision system uses the SIFT algorithm, to recognise its charging station. The newest versions are equipped with a Wi-Fi connection, allowing them to send the pictures they take via email. As a result, the Roblog originated.
