Group TBA art piece

Our group designed a piece about swine flu that makes people question if they are sick or getting sick. Here is how we dealt with the seven stages of action.
  • goal - a piece that uses temperature sensors and video to make art
  • intention - create a piece that speaks about the overemphasis of swine flu
  • action - the user must press and hold a button to get feedback
  • execute - to help them push a button, we would create a sign to attract people and tell them to hold it.
  • perceiving the piece - people think about the function of the button and its relationship to the screen
  • interpreting - as the pigs and viruses appear on the screen, people will realize that this button and hopefully their temperature is causing a reaction on screen.
  • evaluating the outcome - people observe the video and interact with the piece. They start to think about the deeper meaning of the piece as well.
To add opportunism, we would put the piece in a restaurant or food court area to shock them and get their attention.
