After reading his proposal, i find that nick's concept is daring, ambitious and to be conducive to a long term research project, in the sense, how it raises the idea of documenting and concretely projecting on a screen people’s interaction with each other within a certain space. Hence, visualizing a certain dialogue which is considered to be invisible.
As for the narration, i find that the way the author had articulated his project in his writing to be very clear and understanble in the sense of explaining the core idea. However, as i was reading the reading the draft i had the felling that he could have theoretically elaborated more, in addition, the semantics used in the paper were more technical then poetic. As a result and since it has great potential, it would be unfortunate not to give the thesis more depth in writing and semantics.
The reason why the author wants to create this concept in particular, is that he believes that people needn't know each other so they can play, interact or communicate. Furthermore, the author has been experimenting with processing, php and html since a very long time ago, and this project is a chance for him to push the envelope of his experimentation.
The audience will definitely be interested in participating in this project because for me it' s a very fun and stimulating experience to be part of the art piece in a given installation. Accordingly, What is the author doing exactly is making the audience part of his piece through a thrilling and compelling live visual documentation of their interaction.
I find in the author’s project a thrilling experience, because it tackles issues and raises the question of what is new media? In this context, the author’s idea is very breve and a daring attempt in answering the question of what is new media. Lastly, In his execution, the author will rely heavily on processing, video feed, the use of the Arduino board and maybe audio softwares for creating the sound atmosphere during the installation.
