Wishes

CONCEPTUAL DESCRIPTION

The idea of his project is to collect Twitter feeds of what people want. Ever wonder what do people really want, anything for that matter? This project is about wishes represented as thought bubbles floating up and when listening to the thought (a recorded audio file), when touched the bubble animates in relation to the sound frequency and then drops down like a coin splashing into a wishing well. Everything we want began as a thought regardless of whether it becomes a reality or remains just a wish. Dropping a coin into a wishing well is like making a thought tangible through physical action even though this is just a representation being one step closer to your wish.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
