Product

  Our finished product was an interactive art installation that focused more on the individual than the previous iteration of our project. We chose to keep many aspects of our project, such as the hanging t-shirts and the background of stars and space, which we felt really illustrated our concept -- that human beings are all inherently the same and that we are made of the same star stuff as one another. However, we wanted to emphasize individuality more. So, in order to connect our audience more with the t-shirts and make them feel more like the shirts represented them, we decided to allow them to manipulate the project by using their sound. When the room is dark, all the shirts look quite similar but once someone claps or makes some kind of noise they can really see the differences between the shirts. Furthermore, the audience member that chose to make the noise essentially puts the spotlight not only on the shirt but on themselves, highlighting their own individuality.
