The splattered blobs of color projected on a wall react to a paint brush by moving within the projected canvas surface, finally resting in a new pattern. Just like in a Rorschach test, the audience sees a different shape in each pattern. This installation was presented in an art show called Skrol at the Centre for Digital Media. This project uses a projector, a Wii remote and infra-red light to interact with the shapes in the art piece. The set up for the Wii remote and infrared pens is well explained here. Since a Wii remote can sense upto 4 infrared inputs, I could make multiple brushes fitted with the infrared light. As a result, the audience are able to compete or collaborate by pulling the shapes towards them. Children, particularly, enjoyed this installation. My Role: This was a self initiated project that included art, programming and hardware. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="366" width_o="977" height_o="534" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="366" width_o="977" height_o="534" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter3.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="366" width_o="977" height_o="534" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640263/splatter3_o.jpg" align="left" /> Share HTML Comment Box is loading comments... /**/ http://cargocollective.com/digibar/School-26 http://cargocollective.com/digibar/following/digibar/School-26 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 08:15:14 +0000 digibar 1393344 School 26 is a casual game designed for girls ages 12 to 16 and has been released on the iPhone, iPad and Android.

One of the other major goals of this project was to encourage children to seek guidance from their parents or teachers if they are unsure of anything online. In Privacy Pirates children attempt to assemble a map leading to a pirate treasure (introducing the idea that information has value). In doing so they encounter a variety of situations in which they will be asked to give up information. Making the correct choices will be rewarded with an additional piece of the map. This project is an initiative from a Canadian non-profit organization, Media Awareness Network, that has been a pioneer in the development of digital media literacy programs.

The goal of the game is to collaboratively fly a single object (called the Wobblegong!) through various strange environments while avoiding and overcoming obstacles in the way. Each player controls a part of the Wobblegong! using only a single button. Social interaction and communication are key elements in the success of the players. The game was developed under the mentorship of Brenda Bailey, former C.O.O. of Deep Fried Entertainment and currently C.E.O of Silicon Sisters Interactive. This project has been awarded a development grant from Microsoft under the pioneering Industry-University Mentorship Program initiated by Don Mattrick. My Role: I was the lead artist on a team of five. I created most of the in-game art assets including animations and user interface art. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/53725/640242/womp_screenshot1.png" border="0" width="600"
