Processing Final Project: Ideas and Notes, catching up.

Being gone for almost a week has set me behind a little but that just means I need to work harder. NCECA was great and very informative, I also picked up a bunch of nice new tools.

On to the project notes. My artist presentation on Paul Catanese has lead me in the direction of found object and sound integration with my piece. I would like for it to be a journey of sorts, that allows the user/viewer to interact with these objects along the way. Consider it a digital Walk-a-bout or spirit journey. My latest readings have been based around the ideas of ancient Gods, like Pagan, Norse, Aboriginal, Native American and so on. The way Gods are transplanted to new lands through the beliefs of traveling peoples is one of my more recently revived interests.
My plan is to incorporate sounds, video, and images, all found around the internets, to create this journey through our digital world.

New tools, woooooooooo
