SASKIA KOSTIC

Saskia’s project stood out the most to me as I love traveling and being able to navigate and experience Europe through her project was very interesting. Through her project I have learnt different elements of interactive art that I hope I can incorporate into my work in the future. I would like to explore further and learn how to assign messages to parts if the photo as how she did with the map. I enjoyed her use of different media elements such as still images (the map) as well as videos (to show the footages of the city you clicked on). She successfully created a tactile piece that from an audience point of view was exciting to experience.

SAGE ESCOTT

Sage’s piece was an on screen piano keyboard that in order to play it you had to use the mouse and click on the key. I personally felt that it was a bit awkward to be playing a piano with a mouse however the end product was still fun to play around with. However I feel that figuring out a way to play it using the keyboard on the computer would be a more natural way to interact with the piece such as assigning alphabets on the keyboard to particularly keys.

CHARMAINE LEE

Charmaine successfully achieved a very visually aesthetic piece. I appreciated her effort in compiling all the photos and assigning them to each key as that is something I still struggle with, on Max8. I liked her work because even tho she was the ‘artist’, her interactive art piece gave the audience a chance to be the artist and being in control of which photos/illustrations are presented on the screen by choosing which key to press. However I would have liked to see a reset button as after spamming the keys a couple times I wanted to rest the screen and continue.
