The Finished Product

Come presentation day this is a demonstration of how our finished Max Patch and Unity model work in conjunction to give a fun playful experience that encourages both experimentation and a greater appreciation of the control and character we give the environments around us by adding our personality to everyday life.

We worked on the principle that no two people are the same, we monitored the colours they wore ( the way they present themself ), the amount of noise they made and the amount of movement they produced. There were two ways you could look at our work; One it was simply god fun, it was colourful and set up in a non-linear arrangement, because it displays a variation of the participants own colour scheme back at them they are sure to recognise themselves in the installation and this encourages them to experiment to uncover what corresponds to what in the city and what what is causing the changes they can observe. On a deeper level this installation challenges the participant, asking questions like 'what are you contributing or what effect are you having on your environment?' Because each new participant will bring a new set of variables to the environment it is unlikely to look the same twice; this to me symbolises the perspective of an individual, we all see the world through different eyes, having different backgrounds, morals and circumstances the big question really is do we like what we see? Are we having our desired impact on the world? Set in a human made environment when we have the power to make all the decisions do we like what we contribute and in return what we see?

Our installation gives us the ability to explore these questions and more through manipulating the world you are given to preside over, I really enjoyed both creating and testing this work and I really think it is a pity I didn't take video footage of it being used by others at the critique because it was clear that they were making the most of and enjoying the situation just as we had intended.
