12.3.10

a skippingly wonderously productive day

So here i am again updating on my Fashion Space project OnePerView. I had a very slight problem with the concept of one of the rooms, a group member in charge of room number nine (with 12 rooms the name of the exhibition was previously to be named 12) decided it was deserving of the scrap bin and with no idea in mind, i took over. So (no amount of bragging could define my super speediness on this one!) i created the concept with back up research, designed the room complete scaling and drawn out, illustrating its functions and i have now finished photoshoping how it would look visually. All in a day's work. Yes i am very pleased with myself, and yes, i think i deserve a little treat! With this, you may get another post on cupcakes as nothing screams 'treat' more than food!

enter: description and pics!



Room 9 brings you the interactive face room where you can construct and deconstruct your own features using layers or taking away layers of your skin in the form of illustrated chunks.
Upon entering this interactive room the, walls start to form the outlines of your face on a large scale, having to reach up and down to physically touch screen in order to manipulate your own face you are able to change your face in any way you wish, giving the viewer the flexibility and choice.
The facial expressions on the outlined face depicted on the wall changes according to the facial expressions of the partaking audience making it that much more difficult to re-arrange the face. Also reinforcing this feeling of being watched, by themselves in this manner, giving them a feeling of anxiety as this larger than life face changes and mimics their own, yet giving them back some power as they are allowed in turn to touch and destroy that face.
This room enforces the communication between London and Tokyo as the face appearing onscreen will be the face of the participant in the same room at the same time in the other city. Once re-arrangement of the face is complete, their own face which has been re-arranged by the other participant would be projected instead, letting the participant know that what has happened in room nine in London has happened in room nine in Tokyo, and that someone has been defiling their own face.
