Arduino UNO, Inferred sensor, processing, OSC

People indulge in selfies and also enjoy looking into a mirror to see themselves. This kind of narcissism has been amplified by the social media and smartphone. This project is to examine audience's reaction to a mirror image of themselves. Thus my intention is to design a Screen that could only let people see themselves from the far distance. And when they attracted by their own image and try to approach to the moniter screen. It will started to pixelated and prevent them to appreciate themselves. The body is automatically react to the mirror image in the screen but then also stopped by the pixels.

Scusa, non ti amo più.

Sound track from Red (1964), by Michelangelo Antonioni. in Italian.
A sound walk project allow audience to wear headphone to go through a designed route companied with pre-recoreded sound. The sound records the woman's agony and desperation when broke up with her lover in an opera house without the context. The web coding will provide chooses which lead the audience's way.
