I’ve always wanted to do a memorial/installation regarding the Holocaust and its finger-pointing. However, the subject of the Holocaust is — I hate to say it — “tired” — but I’d approach it from the perspective of 2012: those that participated in the Holocaust aren’t any more guilty when compared to current events…Stalinist Holocaust. So this was a bit hard in that aspect.
The Anita Bryant deal would be interesting — but I’ve no angle on how to approach it regards interactivity and what I’ve learned at skool so far.
Im probably thinking 1 and 2. The idea of the wallpaper would have to be driven by by the graphic that is projected itself. Moving graphics around via the user’s body isn’t that new. So this will have to be reworked.
The structure of the house/set design has always fascnated me — and the “Oliver Twist” house/idea has received the best feedback. Its narrative is the most difficult: where does this journey around the house take you? why would the user want to experience/interact w character development? It would also be very hard to build….perhaps it would be scaled.
This exercise was difficult in its immensity. I’ve thought about thesis and was pretty sure what I wanted to do. “Twist”
