Revealing an inner landscape that one hides from public sights.

Description

A recent personal experience inspired me to create a installation that represents a secret place inside everyone’s heart. It is a rich and vibrant place but it is difficult for other people to enter. we feel safe and comfortable in this secret world but it is not entirely positive because shadows and darkness do exist. However, it is possible to glimpse parts of one’s inside world if you spent a little more time and love.

Private: Do Not Touch

Isabel M Donlon

Our internet search history contains some of our most private thoughts and ideas. I aim to subvert that by publishing my data.

Description

I have turned my google search history into a physical book that represents a year of my life. This collected data functions as a kind of diary, marking significant events in my life as well as moments of struggle. By presenting this in the show I am engaging in a performative act of watching as people gain insight into the trust I show my browser.

Tacto

Cristobal Valenzuela

Tacto is a physical interface for digital projections by allowing the user to control and manipulate a projection with physical objects.

Description

Based on physical interaction with wireless objects, the user of this project is able to generate, control and modify a realtime projection. For this specific venue, the experience will be using a flock simulation to generate birds when the user draws them in a whiteboard. Each new bird can be changed and its properties modified (size, color) with a radio controller.

Box Anonymous

Jaycee Holmes, Yunho Choi

"Tell me a secret. And I will tell you one back." Box Anonymous is an interactive installation which stores someone's secret and gives someone else's secret.

Description

This project is a collaboration project between Jaycee Holmes and Yunho Choi for the mid-term project in physical computing. We started this project with a question; what will happen when people’s secrets are shared in one space at the same time?

Once people say their secret to a microphone with pushing a red button, the secret is recognized and stored in the program we created. Next, the people can get someone else’s secret by pushing the print button. The secret they receive is randomly chosen and printed. If they are not satisfied with their secret, they also can delete and record it once again. In addition, the secrets are converted into text and accumulated visually on a screen using P5.js.

Inspiration

The Yami-Ichi, Internet Black Market, was brought to our attention through the ITP List Serve. We knew that this would be an awesome opportunity to present some of our work at a maker-fair, so we worked together to design an interactive project with a feasible deliverable for the user to keep at the end of the interaction.

We thought it would be fun to sell secrets. Thus, was born Box Anonymous.
