As best as you can, sketch its flow chart (or function chart)

B. Brainstorm ideas for your own project and come in with a draft of a proposal to workshop. See Project Details below:

Embodying Knowledge: An Immersive Experience, Interactive Experience or an Installation

For your next project, you will be designing and presenting an immersive experience, an interactive experience, or an installation exhibition. The project must highlight one of the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, or taste), incorporate technology, and be modeled using digital media (Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, or Unity)

Some knowledge is learned through books, but sometimes in order to deeply understand something, we must experience it. We can use immersion, or interaction to propel viewers into the future or into the past. We can invite people to feel something so small we can’t see it or so vast we can’t begin to understand its scale. Here are a few prompts to get you started. Excited to hear about your ideas!

Our changing world: climate change, nature, and technology
Ancestral homes, cultural traditions, and reframing history
Mysteries of the spiritual, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there
