Phase .1 Mapping of sensory experiences
4D SHREK ^_^
1st investigation:
My first 4D movie ‘Shrek 4D Adventure’ was a rich sensory experience. This mini movie was projected through 2 high resolution digital projectors, and utilizes uncompressed digital video servers in a custom configuration to create this stunning 3D film. I was given a specially designed 3D glasses which it helped to give a maximum peripheral vision. It felt like as if I was being part of the movie and surrounded by the characters. The uniquely designed seats were equipped with some special effects, which included vertical drops and horizontal movements. This was when the 4D came in, and I could not only see, hear, but also FEEL the action right from my seat. They also have other effects such as blowing water and air at me and it happened that I tasted a drop of water and smelt smoky air coming from the seat that was in front of me. The surrounded sound system was so amazing that it made me feel as if the characters were talking next to me. The package with the “Shrek 4D Adventure” mini movie had transported me into the virtual 3D environment.

2nd investigation:
Allegory of the Five Senses
Artist: Theodore Rombouts
I chose this art piece because it has five senses from left to right, sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell, which are represented by figures and attributes set in a lively and colourful composition. It relates to my 1st investigation which I had experienced five senses during the 4D Shrek movie with lively characters and colourful pictures.
3rd investigation:
i chose this object simply because I love the fruity smell of them, and the colours are very attractive. i don't really use these highlighters but sometimes i just can't stop myself picking them up and smell them. sometimes when i'm bored i would arrange them in different order and just play around with it! ^_^ they are more like a toy to me than highlighters!

Hi Jaqueline
4D immersive environment is a good example - was the story important or just the experience?
You could look more into this territory - fully immersive environments. What does it mean to have our senses 'tricked' into thinking they are experiencing reality? Can it really be real? Or is it more real than real etc. This is an ongoing dialogue in contemporary culture.
The 'Allegory of the Five Senses' is an apt artwork, but you could have delved a bit deeper into its meaning / significance and relationship to 'virtual reality' etc.
The scented highlighters are a good accompaniment to the 4D Shrek movie. They again raise this issue of what is real - why smell an orange scented highlighter if you can smell an orange? What is the appeal? Rich territory.
3.5/5
