A Saià - p5js
The project is a series of scripts developed with p5.js that utilize the microphone to capture the user’s spoken text, displaying it on the canvas in real time. This text becomes the heart of an interactive experience structured into three successive scenes.
Each scene symbolically represents a phase of the traditional irrigation process through the saje, the ancient channels used to distribute water in the fields:
1.Collection: The collected text is accumulated, symbolizing the water gathering before distribution.
2.Division: The words begin to separate and distribute themselves across the canvas, reflecting how water is channeled through different branches.
3.Blocking: The flow of text is controlled or interrupted, recalling the techniques used to regulate the flow of water in the saje.
Through this metaphor, the project explores themes related to communication, control, and resource distribution, inviting the user to reflect on the parallel between the flow of water and that of words.
