The document summarizes an artist's informal project update for an interactive installation. The original concept of allowing viewers to physically interact and affect a projected person's movements was not working. The new concept challenges viewers to question how much they can reveal about themselves through online communication. The interaction involves clicking a mouse to show another viewer a larger slice of video, but at a slower frame rate, representing how online interactions only reveal parts of oneself over time. The artist needs to focus on coding and user testing the new interactive concept.
6. What Wasn’t Working and What I Learned… • The content was not working • The context of the interaction wasn’t clear• There was nothing compelling for the viewer to interact with • I needed to rethink about the interaction• I needed to clarify my point of view and what I was trying to say
7. New Concept To create an installationpiecewhich challenges the viewers to question how much they are really “seeing” when they communicate online
8. NewQuestions • How much can we really reveal about ourselves through online communication ? • Are there consequences for revealing more of yourself in an online environment? • Is online communication about two people interacting, or is just the sharing of data and pixels?
16. • When the user clicks their mouse a larger slice of video is shown to the other viewer • However the time at which the next frame appears is slower • Thus, the larger the slice of video you show, the slower the frame rate and less “activity” the other viewer sees
