After a lot of deliberation and brainstorming, I am happy to report that I have solidified my final project concept. I will be producing an interactive piece of art that aims to tell the story of international students in the US who are being targeted by the current political situation.
My work will allow anyone to participate by scanning a QR code, which will direct them to my p5.js sketch which shuffles through images–coordinated real-time with text on screen transcribing details. The p5.js sketch will connect to a websocket running on my server, which provides control information for the piece.
Finally, a panel at the front of the installation will include controls, which allow viewers to adjust the playback of the art, including speed and effects. A diagram of the architecture is attached below.
