open your eyes is an interactive platform that tracks blinking, represented by triangles of different sizes based upon speed and time between each blink. blinking builds a visual display on the screen, the size of a wall.

NAME SUBTITLE SHORT DESCRIPTION BENEFIT DESCRIPTION
A Blank State What will you create? A Blank State is an interactive installation built by the rate and frequency of one’s blinking. This installation allows people to enter a blank space which transforms into a visual display simply by blinking. The participant is not aware this particular function is what creates the display. Movement, rate of blinking, and number of participants all effect the creation of the display.
LONG DESCRIPTION
A Blank State is an interactive installation built completely by the viewers, despite their lack of knowledge about their specific participation within the room. Based on the rate and frequency of one’s blinking a visual display will be created completely comprised of shapes and triangles. The more people within the installation, the faster the room will become filled with the design. Participants will wonder what exactly their impact on the display is, which is a distinct feature of this installation. If or when their contribution is noted, they may choose to manipulate their blinking to influence what is created. Movement throughout the room will also affect the creation of the display. The intended audience will range from children to adults, especially those who enjoy modern art or frequent museum.

A blank state w hat will you create?
before
The user only sees the title of the exhibit: A Blank State.
during
The group enters the room, installation will start instantly and the user must try and figure out what causes the visual effects, or they can just observe what is happening.
The End statistics
Users will be informed what created the visual effects in the installation. People blink an average of every four seconds.

Details
When we were introduced to this project I was excited at the possibilities this assignment would offer. Because we were dealing with such a different type of process and way of thinking, it allowed me to come up with broader and more varied ideas for what my final product would be. I enjoyed letting this process help me to create something unique, rather than my usual habit of coming up with practical problem-solving solutions. I enjoyed the element of impracticality. It was fun to not have to worry so much about the technical elements of creating our idea, but focus on the best visual representation of an abstract concept. I learned through my video how important timing can be in presenting a concept, and how sometimes a video doesn’t necessarily have to give everything away. I feel that my final presentation accurately presents the concept I came up with in a visually interesting way, if only this exhibit could exist in real life.
