Interactive Portraits
The Interactive portraits project connects the alien portraits with the alien stories in an interactive way. Each portrait tells a unique story of a digitized society, inspired by real people and their experiences. Inspired by their stories, I imagine how our lives would be like in a digitized society. Better, worse, or just different! What sets these portraits apart is their interactivity. By scanning the artwork with the noizybutpurple app or an NFC-enabled device, these stories can be accessed and you can join me in imagining what life might be like in such a digitized society.
With over 150 alien characters created, each interactive portrait adds another layer to the story of this digitized society. The interactive artworks are available in different print versions from posters to polished and hand finished acrylic prints. Also the art catalouge showcases a selection of available portraits, inviting you to explore and discover the world of the aliens with your phone. Through this project, I hope to inspire others to push the boundaries of art and technology and to create immersive experiences that connect with the collectors of my art on a deeper level.
How to scan via nfc
You can scan the artwork an read the alien’s story by scanning the name tag of the alien by using NFC on your smartphone. How you can access NFC depends on the smartphone you use.
Android: You just need to turn on NFC in your settings. Therefore go to Settings and then search for NFC. Click on “NFC” and turn it on.
iPhone XS and newer: Good news! NFC is enabeld by default. You just need to hold your phone near the name tag of the alien.
iPhone 7 to iPhone X: You need to download an app. I recommend you to use GoToTags.
iPhone 6 and older: Sadly, Apple restricted iPhone 6 of using the NFC functionality even if you have iOS 11 installed. But good news! You can also use the new noizybutpurple app!
How to use the noizyputpurple App
The noizybutpurple web app is one of my latest projects and a step up from my NFC project. Using computer vision algorithms, I developed a model that recognizes which alien character you take a picture of and displays the matching story on your mobile device. Since the app is still very new, I love to get your feedback.
