The first ideas of the project are always the hardest. Mining the ether. The first ideas thrown around with Tara and I, were to use several devices to orchestrate an interactive graphic. Similar to a magic show using mobile devices.

This is where we got caught up in trying to expand the project to incorporate something a little more directly interactive. Another suggestion was to create a group drawing using an app, and a group of users in a common space. The speed of motion would affect the rate at which the participants line would “bleed”. The drawing would have some basic outline that the participant could use as a starting point, or they could ignore it entirely. And then the group disbanded.
I then moved into Avery and Teagan’s group. The run down I picked up is that we are going to interview volunteers on how they think the internet and holistic healing work. We would have a designated interview space. I mentioned using the recorded videos and use common references as sync point in the video, displayed on separate monitors, and using multiple channels of sound. With a third screen showing the face of the viewer.
As the project has evolved, it’s led me to continue to take on a production role. Each of us in our group are interviewing two people, and the footage presented per the project spec.
