In groups of three design two art pieces. The first piece should be based on feedback and the seven stage of action described at the end of chapter two. The other piece should be a variation of the first piece adding an element that reflects the idea opportunism. As part of your design please specifically discuss what parts of the piece or the expected audience interaction with the piece correspond to the author’s models of action.



The first invention is a screecher which helps you locate any of three chosen items. The screecher is about the size of a keychain and comes in a box with three sensors. The screecher requires two double A batteries. The user must adhere the sensors to three different things which they want their screecher to be able to detect.The sensor/audio must be soldered on to the objects. The screecher is small and black with 4 buttons (one red, one blue, one green, and one yellow). The three small colored buttons each correlate with whatever item that color's sensor is placed on. When that button is pressed, the sensor will screech until you are able to find it. The red one will be the biggest one at the bottom of the screecher. It must be pressed to stop the screech from any of the three sensors.

The revision of this invention will have the new feature of being able to detect the sensors within 50 feet in comparison to 20 feet. Also the sensors no longer need to be soldered on, enabling the user to now put these on mobile objects like humans. It was only made for static objects, but with the lack of adhesive necessary, its uses have been expanded.
