Wheely awesome wheel

John Duval

Our project is the Wheely-awesome wheel! It is a way for people to compliment themselves, and others. Using our revolutionary technology of two spinning wheels with struts connecting the two. These struts have various compliments on them.

Interactive Art Pieces

The first picture is of a fountain that is located in Chicago. Peoples faces are projected on the screen and there a hole in the middle that allows the water to flow through resulting in in looking like the person on the screen is spitting out water. This is a very clever idea because it uses both water, but also the projection of people at the site. Its a funny concept that easily captures peoples attention that are around. The second picture is an image of a shark that was placed on the floor of an elevator. This piece is really interesting because it elicits an initial reaction of fear, but also causes interest to figure out what the purpose of it is. The third piece is a really creative piece that uses old ad sign. When stood behind the "ad" it makes it look like a working x-ray machine.This one is very different from the other two because it is the most interactive of the three allowing people walking by easy access to it. I think that in order to have a good interactive art piece you need to have something that makes people feel somethine intially and also confuses them a bit so that they want to figure out how it works.

The first piece is at the Cleveland Museum of Art.  I think this is a very fun and appealing way to teach people about other cultures.  In the picture, the girl is mimicking a statue that, most likely, played a major role in history.  I think that this art piece was a great way to attract people to the exhibit. It also made learning fun for the people involved.

The second image is not as meaningful as the first, but it is still very interesting.  This is more of a silly interaction.  Nothing is being learned; no information is being passed along.  This is why it is not as meaningful.  This exhibit is more for comedy and fun photo op appeal.

The third art pierce is the least thought provoking exhibit.  It is basicly just a playground that can comfortably fit adults.  The person experiencing the art is just supposed to have fun.  I do not think that there is any deeper meaning to this peace.
