  1. Internet-enabling interactivityfor artists, musicians, and designers

  2. Computer-coordinated Art • Changes in response to environment or user input • Is electrical/electronic, but often with elements of traditional media • May output multimedia, movement, environmental changes • Embodies the artist’s intentions in its physical/media structure and in a computer program.

  3. The situation pre-EZ I/O • Custom, engineered solutions are the rule for interactive works • Artists must seek engineering assistance • Struggle with technology stymies creativity

  4. A first step • While at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Rodemer and Csikszentmihalyi develop this inexpensive interface board • Result: an explosion of student work

  5. EZ I/O • Once at the University of Michigan, Rodemer receives an OVPR grant to develop the first EZ I/O board • The EZ I/O is adopted worldwide by artists, art schools, musicians, designers, museums.

  6. What the EZ I/O enabled

  7. Aging Technology • RS-232 serial communication superseded by USB, Ethernet • The World-Wide-Web • Speed deficit • Number of inputs, outputs • Versatility • Telepresence

  8. The New EZ I/O • Internet-enabling EZ I/O • Telematic programming of I/O • Ubiquitous presence of art • More universal access via the Web

  9. The New EZ I/O • Splitting the EZ I/O into a two chip solution Internet I/O Chip Fast Inter-Chip Communication Internet Interface Real World I/O

  10. Adding More I/O Using Larger PIC Microcontroller

  11. New EZ I/O Demo • Dallas Semiconductor’s TINI Board

  12. Current Issues • Such web-enabled input/output is in its infancy • Internet Latency (keeping ping time down)

  13. Future Work • Our solution should be useful for 3-5 years • Legacy I/O - maintaining the serial interface • Wireless Networking (802.11b) = enables ubiquity • Create standard Web I/O • Affordable for artists and students (>$200)

  14. Thanks to • CARAT • OVPR • Dean Bryan Rogers, School of Art & Design • NIQ, Inc. CEO Greg Merriman
