Proposal

We want to extend the idea and design of this project (http://ideate.xsead.cmu.edu/gallery/projects/rhythm-of-shadow) to create a paper dragon using the same material. The design of the dragon is an abstraction of traditional East Asian dragons -- a long and thin body.  

The goal is to create a representation of the dragon's body using paper, which will then hang from the ceiling. We are planning to include more of an interactive component in our installation so the dragon will be flexible and able to be moved around by visitors. The dragon's body will be composed of several "units" connected by twine to make a curved shape. Each unit will have shredded paper hanging from it to create a fluffy look, as in the current cover photo for this project.  Finally, we will try to use sound and/or light to enhance the aesthetic experience, i.e. by illuminating the dragon or making some noises when it is moved.
