Design

What's the look and feel of the exhibit? How does the design convey the way you want visitors to feel, and how does it support the intended interaction?

We want visitors to feel like they are playing in a moving rainbow which echos their own image....


Therefore, we might pursue the following potential designs:

  • Current Option: Additive color exhibit using live video feed and disco ball.
    • pros: Tight focus on the play of color with a highly interactive video "capture and re-projection" lure for the viewer. Disco ball and use of viewer's own image creates the playful feel of the project, along with the giant rainbows. Use of color separated re-projection of imagery visually "disassembles" the image for the viewer, allowing them to see what is happening all-at-once in the full color image.
    • cons: Currently not as broad as ideas which include sound components or historical posters
  • option1: Working with the teen group who proposed the Rolling Ground of Color
    • pros: Great minds think alike. Plus their project tracks visitors and creates a specific color for each visitor, which creates a very personalized sense of involvement for the visitor.
    • cons: Need a "middle-man" since they are on the teen island
  • option2: Proceeding with current proposal, above
    • pros: Well balanced view of two important, but different color theories, with a sense of personal interaction with each.
    • cons: alot to organize, transparency "paper" not cheap, but it could be a photo booth set-up, where they pay for the prints
  • option3: Drop the history and the subtractive color theory aspects
    • pros: A project with a single focus
    • cons: Not as robust
