These ideas covered a wide range of topics including wearable technology, advertisement using projection/holographic imagery, methods for vehicular and pedestrian traffic manipulation, as well as musical and other artistic representations of a city and it's atmosphere.
Stemming from the idea of a 'musical square', in which a designated square of the city would take in data such as the amount of people, wind speed, time of day etc. to play music appropriate to the mood, we decided on the initial direction for our project.
This direction is the collection and use of data, to be represented as some form of art, be it a painting (digital or otherwise), music, digital artwork, video installation etc.
One example was to take in data from, for example, a foyer of an office building, and have the people in the building rate their mood, and have a digital representation of the mood displayed in say, the lighting of the room.
The scope and direction this could take is still very broad, and so we are spending the next week trying to come up with ideas and filter them into ways that are both original, interesting and also within our own capabilities, and the technology needed to create the product itself.
