Meeting with Clive McCarthy 11/11.

Following my experiment to create a 3D model of my head, taking the human to an object, the next step would become printing a 3D model of it to create a physical object existing in real space. Then through interactivity to re-introduce humanity back into it:

• Forehead – create a body temperature (possibly using a heat pad and an arduino)
• Mouth – creating the possibility for communication by adding speakers (could also explore twitter interactivity)
• Ear – listening device
• Neck – creation of a pulse to simulate a heartbeat

This can also be using different body parts:

• Head – pulse
• Hand – body temperature, inviting people to hold hands
• Ear – communication/listening

These can then be juxtaposed with objects, that we would normally recognise as an object, given human elements:

• Chair – pulse
• Table – body temperature
• Lamp – communication/listening

Both the objects and the body parts can be reduced to the same level, 3D printed with a default base of no texture/colour. This can then expose the perennial question, does the object with a human face become more human then a chair if both have a pulse? Or would both exist in an inbetween space neither human or object?
