MEDA102 - Tutorial 2

1. The first artwork we sent was "Rainstorm Beneath the Summit" by Hokusai. The second artwork was "The Dog" by Pablo Picasso.
2. Using paint or a pigment applied to a surface, Hokusai has portrayed Mt Fuji in a recognizable fashion. The shape and colour of the mountain and its environment has been retained, while a large portion of the detail has been omitted. Whereas the simple dog portrait that Picasso authored is just a simple continuous line drawing. It lacks colour, and detail yet it is still recognizable as a dog.
3. Our encoding process used a piece of paper divided into quarters and these in turn divided into quarters twice more to get a total of 64 different squares. When given the right information in the form of coordinates, we drew lines between the different points to get an image.
4. We figured that all images can be divided into enough sections that can then be transmitted one at a time. The only elements we encoded were lines and although this omits information, the general idea of an image can still be transmitted.
5. We used tapping and sticky-tape sounds to send a series of coordinates between the teams.
6. Our method of transmitting coordinates and drawing lines between them worked really well.
7. Unsure, we didn't have any trouble.
8. To improve upon our transmission method, we could divide the coordinate system up even more to the point where "pixel" locations are transmitted along with colour information in order to get an almost perfect reproduction of the image. However doing this by hand would take longer the more detail we included.
