Description

For my final, I wanted to discuss race, racism, and especially the idea of “Whiteness.” I did so by creating an Interactive Audio Visual Mixtape. I created sight distortion tools that manipulate colors in a way that reveals my hidden messages. I then placed those hidden messages within highly stimulating graphics. The graphics' meanings and information changes with the use of the different ocular devices. Sounds accompany these visuals to create a more immersive and interactive experience.
