Proposal 1
I would like to manipulate a visual environment based on the viewers eye and where his/her focus is directed, which I would hope to do through blog tracking in Max. Ideally, I would like to setup some sort of installation that psychologically isolates the viewer in some way. This might come in the form of somehow making an art piece which is only viewable by other people when an individual is performing a certain action or looking in a specific place. In this way, the engaged individual is not allowed to see what his/her eye and gaze placement is doing to the environment. I will have to find a way to engage the individual with out revealing the whole piece while simultaneously providing them a motivation for being the 'catalyst' of the work while they receive no immediate reward.
Proposal 2
I am fascinated by installation art pieces which do not reveal any sort of 'cutting edge' technology and rather spend their energy manipulating the human processing of information and derailing the normal interaction humans have with their natural, earthy environments. These concepts are a bit hard to grasp on the delivery level, but I admire them for their simplicity of presentation, regardless of the amount of technology that goes into causing the installations to act the way they do. I have yet to really develop a concept of what kind of interaction i would like to manipulate or alter, but I find my greatest inspiration in the rods & cones pieces, rAndom international's Rain Room at MOMA PS1, as well as zee by Kurt Hentschlager.
