My senior degree project examines mindfulness and our relationship with the omnipotent screen. I am challenging not only the position of the screen and the manner in which it consumes us, but the content on those screens and the way we view it. For my rapid prototyping of the space, I designed a poster based on the no signal color bars on a television. I used these bars to extend the viewer's eye toward the ceiling, cutting and placing extensions of the color bars to create a more immersive space. There are several screens (iPads, most likely) descending from the ceiling. These screens will have visual imagery like I've shown here with the Beta fish. This imagery will be macro views of our every day life, highlighting the beautiful in the mundane and giving the viewer the opportunity to be mindful and think about the space we inhabit externally and internally. How can we use this technology to our psychological advantage? Please check back here as I will be updating regularly in preparation for the senior show.
This is the final poster I created that combines the analyzation of all of my research. It’s created in the form of the old Indian head test pattern that was used from 1947- that followed the formal television sign-off after the National Anthem or when there was nothing being broadcast on that channel. I modernized the elements but kept the format roughly the same. Each sector has my interpretation of the categorization of what we watch and why we watch it.
