For my final, I am considering producing an interactive art piece, that expresses some of the growing frustration I have with some of the politics going on back home in the US.
My project is somewhat inspired by what Kyle Adams did for the Lourve Abu Dhabi in the museum takeover day, where he had participants draw art on paper, scanned it, and visualized it all together with a projector. I would like to make something, similar, but more along the lines of a political dialogue, where viewers can write messages. I am also thinking of having them upload portraits, that will be converted to a consistent cartoon-like style for the demo.
The display will be primarily on a laptop or projector (brought by myself), where users can upload their portraits and scans using their phone to a central site. The display will also be interactive, with a control panel tied to the Arduino, which flips through different topical videos.
