Synopsis: Our Impact 25 idea involves showing 25 (or more) people digitally painted ink blots and documenting their interpretations/reactions to our drawn ink blots using digital videography. For our digital ink blots, we were thinking of having a small rotation of various designs that can be somewhat randomized when shown to our participants. Participants would then be asked (on camera) to introduce themselves, interpret the digital ink blots, and explain/justify their interpretations. After showing all the participants our designs and recording their interpretations and justifications, our team was thinking of then recreating the ink blots to align with each participant's stated interpretation. This part of our project is not yet finalized, but we do think that this would be a great element to include for the purposes of contrasting reality (of our initial ink blots) and perception (of the participants).
Work in Progress: Our Impact 25 team has already begun to create our rotation of ink blots, and we are continuing to finalize the methods that we would like to use for conducting our project. The next steps are to secure participants, and set aside ample time for video recording and editing. Additionally, we might look into creating more ink blots to have a larger rotation to choose from, however this is contingent on the other elements of our planning, setup, and execution.
