Breathe IN/OUT, Float UP/DOWN

Devices that enhance meditative experiences in both remote and physical locations, acknowledging that meditation is a communal, multi-sensory practice.

Description

The user wears a belt with a stretch sensor attached, measuring the user’s breath. As the stretch sensor moves with the expansion of the chest, its data is recorded and utilized to manipulate remote and physical objects. There are two variations on this output for our project:

REMOTE/SERVER COMMUNICATION: Different people can wear breath sensors in different locations. Together, their breathing patterns create an output on p5. In our p5 sketch, the breathing is signified by a feather animation moving up and down. Both users' breathing patterns create this change collaboratively.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION: The stretch sensor allows breath to become a controller that manipulates physical phenomena. An installation of yarn pompoms is suspended from a frame and moves in reaction to the wearer’s inhalation and exhalation.

PAC-MAN Trump

PAC-MAN Trump lets you play Pac-Man on your kitchen table with a twist. Instead of helping Pac-Man munch pixels, you are on a mission to help Donald Trump pay his $750 federal income tax. One quarter at a time.

Description

A $750 vertical tax payment counter slowly fills up as Trump collects quarters. Pac-Man ghosts are now red viruses (you lose 1 of your 3 lives if hit). Viruses morph into tax cut bonuses for a few seconds before reshaping to viruses (if hit, your tax due goes down by 50%)

When you are about to hit the due tax amount, Joe Biden appears on scene waving and smiling. If you run into Biden, he is scooped into the wheelbarrow and the game is over.

“Thanks for helping President Trump pay his $750 federal income tax for years 2016 and 2017”

A final call to action redirects you to your state’s official election day polling location website.
