WEEK #11
For this final week I made more organic 3d objects to go with my experience. I chose to use the portrait format, that feels more like a mirror of ourselves.
Along the semester my project has changed in different ways. Originally my idea was to make a human kills a plant with his breath and the goal was that he/she had to discover he/she had to stop breathing to make the plant lives. And stop breathing could mean kill her/himself.
This experience could have make people realize that humans are vampires/parasites, they kill their surroundings in order to live.
But there were some inconsistencies, problems. First, in order to capture the breath data I use a CO2 sensor and everybody knows that plants use CO2 to grow. Also I had to make cool organic plant designs, because the rose wasn't original and personal enough. And I had to find a way of displaying properly the depth interaction to make users feel better the personification of themselves and thus strengthen their connection with this organic shape.
Thus I changed the original idea to a mirror of a human. The shapes I made act as a part of ourselves. This digital representation of a part of us is connected to our breath and movement.
At the beginning people don't really know how to interact with it but the mask force them to keep experiencing and at some point they relax and synchronize themselves with their new found part.
