			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the third year I want to experiment more with the physical and not the virtual (although I am quite partial to the virtual). So with that in mind I have been thinking about some things that interest me that I would like to investigate further.</p>
<p><strong>Mood Furniture</strong> &#8211; like mood rings but furniture that changes colour depending on your mood.</p>
<p><strong>Reactive Seating</strong> &#8211; using something like thermo-chromic ink or tracking and LED displays, the seat changes colour where you have been sitting on it as a gradient. The more you stay in one place the more the colour changes showing just how you have been sitting. Ideal for a club / bar / social environment.</p>
<p><strong>Musical Typing</strong> &#8211; a communal project using keystrokes provided by volenteers which is then converted into note and played back. The keys are recorded and the user then submits the information to hear it played back. It is not a real-time keyboard.</p>
<p>I would really like to look into multi-user experiences and social collaboration. Using multiple user&#8217;s to create something larger than the sum of it&#8217;s parts. Each user adds something which is incorporated into a larger idea. I am trying to think about cumulative art or music as a starting point, each user adding to the &#8216;canvas&#8217; or &#8216;score&#8217; in some way and then hearing / seeing the complete result.</p>
<p>This is something I will be updating with more ideas when they come to me. Got to keep the ideas flowing.</p>
