Earlier this week, Ji-Sun Lee and Youjeong Paik approached me about collaborating on the final project. I was still on the fence about whether to try combining my Audio Art final with this final.
Ji-Sun, Youjeong, and I brainstormed plant-like ideas yesterday. Today, So-Young joined us for a bit. We played around with a number of ideas.

At the end of our session today, we ended up gazing at the stars.
What: Make a Wish
"Make a Wish" is an immersive environment that offers the participant an opportunity to gaze into the night sky and make a wish on a falling star.
Why
- Ji-Sun and Youjeong visited an exhibition recently of an artist who uses mirrors to create infinite interior spaces. We want to explore this idea further using realism rather than surrealism.
- This project shares some common themes with our Secret Tree project: the need to express certain interior realities privately and private public spaces.
How
- Fiber optic strands will be used to simulate stars in the night sky
- Stars to be dimmed using AD5206 digital potentiometers
- Immersive environment sound using stereo speakers
Challenges
- Shooting star effect
