Midterm project ideas and process

After talking several times to Gladdys, me and Claudia decided to use a fabric doll as a voodoo doll with bend sensors in order to express our concept and perhaps use it on Installation class next semester.

The whole idea with the voodoo doll is to engage the viewer in a sadistic experience and see his reaction; will he like how it feels? Will he notice that it isn`t correct under society`s guidelines?

So, there will be two rooms:

Both of them will be filled with people, with or without the sensors that conects it to the voodoo doll. In both of them, people with sensors will be controlled by people without sensors, in the other room, and vice-versa. They might see each other through camera surveillance, but it`s not certain yet.

Here are the sensors we are considering to use both on the players and on the dolls:

 This is one of the dolls:

This is the diagram we are considering to use as guideline:

Doll -> Arduino -> Player -> Camera ->Player

This is where we got our inspiration from:
