Ideas for Crit 3

1) Basic Floor Plan...

Here's the basic floor plan for the event. It includes Painting, Music, and Poetry zones where you can experience individual stories and artwork.

Right next to each of their zones are card holders for individual artists which can be taken to the collaboration table to create their own experience... only 3 cards are allowed at the table at at time...

These cards contain one image representing their artwork and on the back they an RFID tag or URL for the Surface table to read. Which one does the table read?

The surface table allows the collabs to take place in whatever combination they choose.


Afterwards...create your own collaboration for a personalized mobile experience!
2. Separate card for available for donation.

After the participants have experienced the "Manual Collaboration Zone" they choose their top 3 collaborators and purchase their cards for a donation to their NGO of choice.

I will create a 3 slot book for them to slide the cards into with a hole in the back that allows the Semacode to be read. Semacode now has a relationship with Facebook that I'd like to exploit.

Please tell me if this is possible...
I would like to assign an individual Semacode to each art piece, then create a mobile application so that when you photograph the code for Artist 1...

...that would begin the Facebook program (downloaded) on your phone.
It then prompts you to scan the code for Artist 2...

...then Artist 3.

Afterward, their virtual collaboration would pop up on your cellphone utilizing the concept used for the Surface table collaborations.

I know this sounds like a lot of stuff but I know a couple of people who offered to help. One is a videographer who can edit one groups video session and the other is a programmer... I'll have to ask if he knows what programs to use for Facebook Apps... Do you know? Thanks Chris!
