Body
CREATE • BODY
The idea this week is to center an experience around the body--yours, someone else's, or a specific audience. Choose the tools and techniques that make the most sense for the concept, keeping in mind that body point estimation extends choices for interactive design beyond the mouse and keyboard, which prioritize the hands and fingers for communication and expression in a very specific way. Some questions to start brainstorming:
What are the private, public, and performative aspects of bodies?
How are bodies imagined, idealized, reflected, altered?
What is the personal and cultural significance of masks for ritual, to explore identity, hide, entertain, frighten...
In whay ways can you use the body for expressive input? Consider choices for the part(s), position, direction of movement, and speed.
