Conception of YMYI:
YMYI (You Move You Interact) is an interactive installation, where one is supposed to build up a body language dialogue with an artificial system so as to effectively achieve a synchronized
performance between the real user´s body and the virtual object itself. The project aims at
exploring a spatial sphere, where the user/performer is invited to develop his own creative
inspiration based on his own body gestures and movements.
During the whole time assigned to research related to both the development and the scientific
foundation stone of the prototype itself, we realized, in so far as the expectations brought on the user of the YMYI platform were concerned, that we were dealing with two key conceptions - narrative and image. Underlying these concepts, in-between the dual dimension of the human
body and its perception of itself and the surrounding environment, we truly believe that the
definitions given on this subject by the scientist António Damásio constituted a resourceful
enlightenment to the scope of our investigation.
According to Damásio, on the one hand "the images (mental patterns) may be conscious
or unconscious (...) The unconscious images are never directly accessible. The images
access is to be provided in a single first person perspective (my images, everyone´s
images). On the other hand, the neural patterns are to be provided in a third person
perspective. If I considered the possibility of observing my own neural patterns
resorting to advanced technology, I would be always doing it in the third person
perspective." (DAMÁSIO, 2000:362).
We have the pleasure of leaving you an excerpt of his book "The Feeling of What Happens",
which sums up the idealized proposal to the users of the YMYI artifact:
"It narrates a story, the story of a living organism unexpectedly astonished by
performing its own change status while representing an object. However, what
strikes the most is the fact that the knowing entity responsible for the act of
astonishing is only created throughout the astonishment narration process."
(Damásio: 2000: 202.)
