| This project was inspired by Jean-Marc's Spatial Design class, and represents a way to use physical space to examine linguistic phenomenon. The phrase "a bag of hammers" will be brought to life with an actual clear bag of hammers suspended from the ceiling. A subtle interactive element will be added via a light sensor on the wall. When someone approaches, LEDs hidden amongst the hammers will light up. All the project requires in terms of ITP resources is a ceiling hook and a small amount of wall space nearby. In fact, it was conceived (as per Jean-Marc's suggestion) to consume as few resources as possible. | ||
