Pfhew a long time, but my project is here anyway

Yeah, I don’t know why but I haven’t updated as much as I would like. Anyway lot’s of things happened naturally in the mean time. We had to give in our proposition of the artefact we want to make for Physical Computing.

There were several good ones, but still the most of them were not dirty at all. Our concept was pretty well structured but also we got the feedback of killing our darling. And so we did actually. We started with a brand new concept. (The first one was about lights and how they were going to light up when people moved closer together.)

Our new and improved concept we want to explore if it’s possible to make a painting that is totally made with the aid of the visitors of the painting. From next week on we are planning on making mock-up versions to seek out what the best way is to lure people in the interaction with the painting.

The most valuable tip we got of Erik is that we need to be sure that we find the right balance between interaction. We need to find out where the line is when people are aware of the change in the painting by their movement and the line where people really need to do an effort to change something in the painting.

As a last we want also that people in front of the painting are interacting so we are going to find out how we are going do that and find out what the appropriate award has to be.

Peace out and I update more regularly that is a promise ;)
