New Media Interactive Art Project Research:
I’ve been very interested in wall and floor interactive installations, as to how one can interact through projections and how our body movements can do something very interesting.
One such interesting installation was from 1999, title the “Text Rain” by Romy Achituv & Camille Utterback. This interactive installation was about falling letters on the projection on the wall to something quite magical. It allowed the audience to practically lift and play with the letter falling from top. Here, they just had to stand in front of the projection in space. The projection would then imitate your reflection in basically black and white, and the letters falling would be in certain random colors. And just like the falling rain as …show more content…

Also it is their motion that the letter will be able to respond to these slight movement of the participant. So, therefore the letters can be caught, lifted or just allow them to fall. The interaction with a person is done in such a way that any falling text or letter will land on anything that is darker than a certain threshold, and if not it will just fall in space of the projection. The whole idea of this interactive installation is that is that if an audience participating catches enough letters for example on his arm, it can read a text or even a phrase. Therefore, these falling letters are not really random but rather form specific lines from a poem. I find this quite interesting as I’m a person who writes poems, and this is quite fascinating how such falling letters can interact with human body and read out a poem to you. I would

The 2017 documentary Whose Streets directed by Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis was a critical piece that demonstrated the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement. The film depicts the 2014 Ferguson protests following the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. This film was unique of its time because it highlighted an issue that was nationally contentious while providing a voice for the members of the black community in Ferguson. Much of the media coverage during this time was biased against the protests, referring to the event as the “Ferguson riots.” The media also utilized video clips that portrayed the protests as violent, rather than a reactionary event that catapulted an important social justice movement.

Picture this… a light pinkish red sky covered in the sun’s orange light. Two white birds fly across the painted sunset as the world slowly starts to wake up. The waves of the beach slowly roll over each other and crash into the sand. Each grain of salt slowly dissolves and leaves a stain on the ground….. This vision was created in your head by using sensory imagery and appealing to the five senses.

The Ferguson protests were instead a reactionary event that catapulted Black Lives

Angie Cruz’s novel, Let it Rain Coffee, tells the story of the Colón family and their experiences with immigration and identity. Their experience proves that for many people in America, especially immigrants, society has a hand in influencing your life based on factors such as your race or class. This is summed up by Santo when he says, “We might want something, Esperanza, but the world wants something else. I’m just saying that it don’t matter how good we are, you go out into the world and people will try to beat you up and take everything you got” (57). This theme of individual efforts being tossed aside for societal oppression, is seen in many instances throughout the novel.
