Cycle 3 by Jenna Ko

I used Isadora and Astra Orbbec for an experiential media design where a tunnel zooms in and out as the audience walks toward the projection surface.

The tunnel represents my state of mind where I mentally suffer from the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Prosecution reform bill in Korea, and marine pollution. The content begins with an empty tunnel. As the participant walk toward the projection surface, the news content fades in. I wanted to articulate my hopelessness and powerless feeling through the monochromatic content that fills the tunnel. As the participant walks towards the end of the tunnel, hopeful imagery of faith in humanity fades in. The content is in color, contrasting with the tunnel interior.

Finally, I was able to implement the motion-sensing function with my media design. If I were to do this again, I would set up the projector in a physical tunnel for a more immersive user experience.
