My projection so far is very broad and involves simple dots falling randomly within a square surface. This is a familiar space for a person who has witnessed any kind of classroom setting and immediately disconnects the viewer form the intimacy that is hoped to be created with the direct association the body will have with the projection.
Therefore, I would like to create a sense that the light could come from anywhere. This will be achieved if the motion sensor will indeed be moving and projecting onto wherever the body may be.
Content
Perhaps I'd like to step a bit farther and actually make the projections little chromosomes so people will have a more direct association to biology. If you step into a projection of randomly falling chromosomes, you are bound to make the connection to your internal system at some point and the randomness with which it transforms and moves inside us and with us. Yes, I'd like to have colorful chromosomes slowly fall onto the body which steps into an area of motion sensing.
Interaction
Time based, evolving itself over time. You will step into the steps of someone before you- this means that however many chromosomes have fallen so far into the shape of the person before you, will end up on your body as well. You will initiate the time to start falling once again and continue the course of evolution. All in all you will feel that you have changed the piece as a whole and wonder how many people it took before you to get it where it is now. You will also hopefully have a personal sense of pride and want to come back and see where it all ends up at the end of the day. Each day will produce its own print of the person created within it. There will be a gallery at the end. A virtual gallery, maybe something as simple as a computer with rotaing imaged form the day. You will be able to input your name for today and see other names that made up other beings before you.
How?
Programming language using Processing will be used, just as before. The previous post has given a sense of how I'd like it to work in the form of interaction, where it begins when someone steps in and the feeling of directly interacting with a bigger system. However, the actuality of the how will be an inverse of the "shadow puppets" because instead of the shadow initiating, the body will initiate the interaction within itself.
