Making interactive scenes of places from shows and games that you couldn't visit in the real world. im thinking mostly places from animated shows, like cartoons or anime, or even video games. Have projections on the walls and floor to create a ground and surroundings could be really cool, even cooler if you could walk around and have the scene move with you. Audience could be anyone who enjoyed the piece of media it came from.

I would love to create a colorful live light show that combines edm music and the software Isadora into a performance concert. This would include big screens that would be projected with different lights and cameras to capture the motion of the rooms dancing performance. It would affect the audience that would dancing to the music which would affect the light show as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
An idea that could be fun are projections on a floor and walls of different instruments with different keys / octaves in different corners with sensors for each projection that would trigger the sound of the instrument. People could collectively make music up on the spot, or it could be very chaotic. I think that if it were open to the public that it would be chaotic and probably headache inducing, but if the room could be reserved for classes/ice breakers it could be a fun way for people to connect with others and have fun. The audience could be any age.

Maps have always been an imposition of European power over indigenous Amazonian people because Europeans created borders that pleased them. Amazonian forest peoples are using counter-mapping to take back that power of their native lands and "remap" it to fit their preferences. It's easier now due to technology like GPS and cell phones, and this started in the 1990s.

One benefit of participatory mapping is that it would allow people to represent their communities. This is good because they are the ones that would know their own communities/countries best.

# data[].attributes.body
Counter Mapping is very specific to many different cartographers around the world. I see that one benefit is allowing these cartographers create their own unique map that allows other people to see key locations in their city/ country.

Maps allow a places culture to thrive. It builds a sense of community between the local residents, even if they don't know each other because everyone from the local place uses different names or sayings about places.

Homemade lava lamp using old wine bottle. I had some old bottles in the recycling and decided to use them for this project. At first I was thinking more of a garden type project, but that would take too long. I had a light stand already and thought it would be fun to make something for it as I havent used it in forever. I already had most of what was needed for this, as it only really took vegetable oil and food dye. It does not bubble on it's own though, you got to give it a shake.

I recently have this turtle necklace that was given to me by my grandmother. Unfortunately the chain broke off and its just a turtle atm. I am planning on make this into a pin that I can wear to symbolize maybe the growing concerns of trash in the oceans with sea life. I plan on maybe gluing or maybe welding a pin with need needle to make it a pin. I feel like this piece could be a cool conversation starter into getting people interested in the growing concerns of ocean life or climate problems in general.

I've found that recently I have really gotten into jewelry (especially rings and bracelets). I have an old can of Campbell's soup sitting around in my dorm and instantly thought that it could potentially be repurposed into some sort of jewelry. I've seen videos of people making rings out of old utensils, and I think that's a big part of where my inspiration comes from. I think the biggest challenges that I could see coming from this would be figuring out how to cut the aluminium cans and finding a way soften it enough to where it wouldn't cut anyone.

Modeling is something that I've had a passion for since I was young. When I was 9 or 10, I discovered that I could use the wax that covers Babybel cheeses to make art. I've been creating art basically since I was capable of holding a pencil or marker or any utensil for art. I've expanded my art world to photography and cinema, but I still have a real soft spot for modeling and drawings/paintings. For this project, I want to pick up where I left off over a decade ago and create wax sculptures again. I kept so many of my old creations for such a long time, but I tossed them about 4 years ago and am regretting it. So I shall continue to not throw away the wax from these cheeses that I love as an any time of day snack and instead morph them into works of art. My first is a big cat because leopards have been my favorite animal for almost half of my life. I'll see what I can do.

I am going to repurpose an old candle by cleaning it out and painting the outside to turn it into something that can have multiple uses. I like to draw so repurposing something with an idea that would require sketching is up my alley - granted I am not a painter, but I like what the result of the project would leave me with (regardless if the painting on it is good or not). In class, I took off the outside labeling and some of the labeling on the bottom.

I decided to take a creative approach with this assignment. Combining the concept of unnecessary usage of pill bottles (constantly getting new bottles each month, etc) and mental illness. The word time is seen across the picture in order to represent the continuation of these pill bottles coming and the more waste it creates overtime. I also took a picture of pill bottles and expanded it out so the word “harm” appears over my face. I believe this is an important aspect to this image, as It helps explain the harm in both wasteful bottles and pills in general.

In "Mistrust: Why Losing Faith in Institutions Provides the Tools to Transform Them," published January 19 by W.W. Norton, Ethan Zuckerman writes about how social movements can help solve the rampant mistrust in democratic institutions - including the press - that has come to dominate contemporary civic life. In this excerpt, Zuckerman, associate professor at UMass Amherst and founder of the Institute for Digital Public Infrastructure, explores our participatory media ecosystem and how it's utilized to set agendas and garner mainstream media coverage of social movements.
In the last decade, major social movements have been unfolding in online spaces as well as in physical ones. That's no coincidence: a critical element of movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter is a theory of change that demands that mainstream media pay attention to the issues they are raising.

This focus on media attention is not new-​the civil rights movement relied heavily on television to bring images of the struggle in southern cities into homes across the nation. The local press in many southern cities wouldn't cover protests against racism, so movement leaders targeted national newscasts, allowing Black southerners to learn about actions taken in nearby communities.

In a similar way, television and social media helped launch the Arab Spring. Activists in Sidi Bouzid used Facebook video to document their protests, which were uncovered by Tunisian media outlets. Tunisian activists in Europe then packaged the video and brought it to Al Jazeera, which broadcast it on its Arabic-​language service, reaching an audience in Tunis who were otherwise unaware of the protests occurring only two hundred kilometers away. We can credit social media for helping to oust Tunisian president Ben Ali if only because other local protest movements, including one in Gafsa a few years earlier, died because they never received national attention.

In the past twenty years, a shift in the architecture of media has radically changed the relationship between producers of news and their audiences. We're used to talking about the ways digital media has destroyed the economic model of journalism, but we're less used to discussing the ways audiences now produce and disseminate media themselves. The political power that comes from amplifying media has changed the nature of political participation.

In the broadcast age, the relationship between media producers and citizens was straightforward. Companies both produced and distributed media, gaining revenue by selling ad insertions in the distribution stream. Broadcasters told citizens what to pay attention to and invited them, perhaps, to do something with the information they received. In a participatory media ecosystem, by contrast, different people produce and distribute news. The New York Times still has its printing press and delivery trucks, obviously, but the ability of a news story to reach a wide audience now depends heavily on digital media distributors, especially Google and Facebook. Because those platforms control the audience, they now also have a dominant position in advertising, capturing 90 percent of all the growth in digital advertising in 2017.

Individual citizens have two powerful roles within this new model. First, they can create their own media, which sometimes competes with professional media producers for attention and is sometimes amplified by those professionals. Second, they can influence the distributors by voting content up and down with their attention, helping amplify some stories and suppressing others. Both of these are possible forms of political activism, and they use a common method: agenda setting and framing.

Agenda setting, an idea advanced by the journalism scholars Maxwell McCombs and Donald Shaw, asserts that media's power comes from influencing what issues appear in public discourse. The power of agenda setting is well summarized by the political scientist Bernard Cohen, who noted, "The press may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about."Media continue to have this power, but individuals and groups now have the possibility of telling the press what to pay attention to through social media.

Kony 2012 [the awareness campaign from the Invisible Children organization to draw attention to the crimes of Joseph Kony in central Africa] was an agenda-​setting campaign. In the process of making Joseph Kony famous, it asked news outlets why they weren't paying attention to the Lord's Resistance Army and the suffering of children in northern Uganda. One of the missed opportunities of the campaign is that it didn't demand increased coverage for sub-​Saharan Africa in general, a systemic weakness of US media.

#IfTheyGunnedMeDown [a viral hashtag that emerged as a response to Michael Brown's killing in 2014, highlighting the tendency of media outlets to use photos of young black men that perpetuate stereotypes] is a reframing campaign. When US media pay attention to the deaths of people of color at the hands of the police, they often focus on the potential culpability of the victims, choosing images that imply that they were dangerous or breaking the law. Patrisse Cullors, one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, observed that "dead 17-​year-​old Trayvon was posthumously placed on trial for his own murder." Campaigns like #IfTheyGunnedMeDown leverage the attention paid to these deaths but shift the frame.

My former lab, Center for Civic Media, studied the effects of reframing police violence by the Black Lives Matter movement. We examined 343 cases between 2013 and 2016 where unarmed people of color were killed by police. We found that deaths that occurred after Michael Brown's death, the focus of a great deal of antiracist activism, were eleven times more likely to receive media coverage than deaths that preceded Brown's. We also found a change in the way media outlets covered these deaths. Before Brown's death, 2 percent of stories about unarmed people of color killed by police contained the name of another victim. After Brown, 22 percent did, showing that reporters were far more likely to cover a story not as an isolated incident but as part of a pattern of police violence against people of color. And while attention to the deaths of unarmed people of color waned by 2016, not to return until reactions to George Floyd's death in 2020, our study suggested that the reframing was a lasting one, and that subsequent stories about these deaths were more likely to mention the larger pattern.

Reframing and agenda setting work, and the people who use these tools know they work. Campaigns try to go viral on social media not just to raise money but to gain mainstream media attention. Individuals and groups who've figured out how to hack the media feel a powerful sense of efficacy precisely because their efforts end up having rapid and measurable effects.

One remarkable aspect of the Trump presidency has been Trump's own embrace of "meme magic," the idea that pro-​Trump imagery and video can motivate and mobilize voters. In July 2019 the president invited two hundred conservative media makers to the White House, including "Carpe Donktum," who creates fake videos that Trump has shared online. Addressing the assembled crowd, Trump lauded them for producing advocacy materials that were better than what he could get from his own staff. "The crap you think of is incredible," he crowed.

Have memes of Trump as a professional wrestler hitting the CNN icon with a chair helped cement his steady approval rating among his base? Or does making memes give some Trump supporters a sense of efficacy, a belief that they're able to be part of their leader's reelection campaign? Given the high visibility of Trump's Twitter posts, which have driven numerous news cycles over the past four years, it's probably unwise to dismiss "meme magic" out of hand.

The collective project I have discovered is called, AccessArt. This is an amazing website that allows teachers, and learners of art to better expand their knowledge. AccessArt creates a safe space for people who either want to become better artists or better educators. There are numerous recourses throughout the website to help accustom each individual's needs. There is also a participatory zoom meeting that you can attend to learn, meet artists, and even create your own art. I think this is an extremely important project being that it helps artists find what they are truly passionate about. - Jessica McCoy

Using geolocation, the camera on your phone, and direction you're facing, the app uses crowd sourced data to tell you what mountain or landform you are looking at. Of course this would need a lot of crowd sourced data so the app can correctly identify mountains, especially those which are out of the way/much less known.
