Project Name:
Bags of North America

Audience:
Students

User Experience:
Audience will experience bag behavior, and may or may not be able to modify or emulate their behavior. By shouting and yelling the audience triggers the heightened emotional state of the bags via volume and brightness control. When our bag creatures hear shouts their lights and spins become more frantic emulating the state of any other creature.

Tech specs :
Max MSP, Teleos, photo sensor, microphone, accelerometer, motors, grocery bags,

Tech Challenge:
Developing a convincing multi sensory and recursivly sustained communication system.

Photos/Drawings:
Bag creatures with appendages interacting with each other as well as user input.

Social Aspect of project:
Awareness of the consequences, for better or worse, on other communities 'way of life'.
