Use audios to operate the movement of visual elements with an aim of demonstrating the relationship between human and nature
The idea behind this project, i.e. the relationship between human and nature, is thoughtful and I like it a lot.
The negative impact of human activities has been mentioned at the beginning of the proposal, but are you going to emphasize that part in the project? If so, the effect that stars will fall down and become lights in the buildings, in my opinion, does not seem to be very negative (it will probably be very appealing instead)… Still, it will be an artful representation about the impact of human activities on nature, which relates to the big idea well. Also, it seems that you would like to have several stages in the work; so, questions like, will there be any transitions in between? How will you make/indicate them and how long will each stage be? and etc. need to be considered. Some other details, such as the natural sounds (i.e. what kind of natural sounds will you use and how to incorporate it) need to be worked out as well.
But, overall, I believe that this project will have a beautiful and engaging outcome; looking forward to it!
I like the concept behind this, and it has potential to be a really amazing and beautiful project. Reading your proposal, I'm not 100% clear about what the final product would look like, and what physical materials or technology you would need to implement it. I think a more difficult aspect of this project is going to be finding the right materials, both technical and physical, to create the unique experience you're intending. I think the user interaction is going to be something very interesting and enjoyable.
I think the ideas behind this project are really great and I like that you have a clear purpose and message behind your project! I love the interaction ideas you have planned, and I think your project can be really successful if you manage to create an environment and user interface that is easy to use and that does not detract from the rest of your project. I agree that there are some technical specifications that might be challenging, and I think it will be really important to make the project immersive, despite it being a relatively small scale installation in the library. It would be really interesting to see what you decide to do in terms of projections, perhaps using multiple projectors to have a 3d space using the ceiling, wall, and floor? I also think that it would be helpful to have a clear way of explaining how the interaction works so that users can easily experience your project. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I am really interested in your project, especially how you are going to execute the part where you say stars will fall and become lights in the buildings when clapping is detected. The idea of building an installation that simulates how human beings force impact on nature is also really beautiful. However, to be honest, I think it might be a little too challenging to accomplish; you might have to compromise some of the effects you want to achieve during the process when you figure that the project is way too complicated, but I am really looking forward to your outcome and I hope that it works out!
