Our tutor Cristiano Storni gaves a little exercise to help us hone in on our final project ideas, and most importantly to help assign our supervizers to help guide us through our final projects. I thought I might share with you what my ideas are, since I have not yet posted my final project proposal.......It's coming soon I swear, eep!
What I want to Research/Design
For my final project I want to create an art Installation/ Interactive gallery encompassing my own artwork. I want to blur the lines between reality and imagination the real and the hyper-‐real opening a playful dialogue between the artwork and the viewer. I ultimately want to create artwork where they are much more than a spectator but an active participant. I want to design the installation to be an interactive experience where people can engage with it and impact with the characters behavior on screen from their own movements and gestures. The viewer will be able to select a character on a projected surface and become the character by directing its movements through sensors. I hope the installation creates a wild, out-‐of-‐this-‐world experience that can push the boundaries of how technology can be used to simulate and realize our imaginations.

How I want to research/design my project.
I want to explore what makes an interactive installation engaging and successful. I intend on investigating settings where people engage in Installations, Museums, public spaces etc. Perhaps making ethnographic observations in these spaces taking into account the important factors, which Todd Winkler mentions, are important to a successful Installation and what have an Impact on the Audiences perception. These include the digital factor, physical factor, social Factor and personal factor.
I would like to explore the idea of the hyperreality using a projectors and kinect to create living art. I am interested in using open source software like frameworks. Other programs might include processing, flash, max msp.
Why I want to research/design in this area.
With a background in art and design I want to development my artwork into something merely more than a hanging wall piece but an all-‐engaging surreal simulation. I am particularly interested in the concept of hyperreality and the writings of Jean Baudrillard, Derrida and Postmodernist theories. “The very definition of the real has become: that which of it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... the real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced, that is the hyperreal. Which is entirely in simulation.” (Jean Baudrillard)
I will pin point my more clearly about what I am doing and why I am doing soon, as I gather more information from my readings.

It'd be cool if you made one of these with that pink ninja bunny guy

hmm, I could do that easy enough in flash I think! Thats a little project for the weekend! I'll post it here when its done!
