What to want to achieve with our concept, after taking in all the lectures, is linking virtual reality and the real reality with the cultural background of our accelerating fast food society. So we want to make some kind of fast food calligraphy that has more meaning than a meal at mcdonalds. But its also something that the user has to personally experience on an almost spiritual level, but set in a western cultural context as a meaningful environment. We also want to connect the different users together and combine the different expierences in single spatial calligraphy sculpture.
We do that by first lullling the user into a suggestive state by sensory deprivation in a ‘personal experience room’ around the central exhibition. We can feel when they’re in the right mood because our system measures galvanic skin respons through the chair they’re sitting in. When the time is right the system bombards them with stimuli in the form of cut up and randomized news headlines, rss feeds, pictures, audio and video clips. This is all collected in real time from sources all over the world. Reminiscent of the global digital village.
The bodies’response is collected by the system and using some kind of algorithm is converted into a type of modern/abstract calligraphy that is then projected on the walls in our personal room, so that the user can see this mind/body calligraphy. To take this all a step further the personal calligraphic information is fed through the system again and combined with the other users’ personal mind/body calligraphies. This is converted into another form of calligraphy that is holographically projected as a sculpture in the middle of the exhibition room.
