Developments - Animations

Wanting to play with different media, feel we interact with books differently to websites, differently to physical art pieces in exhibitions or galleries.

Experimenting with ideas of how to translate the physical book to online:

The idea on the left really translates the idea of getting the audience to notice what their body is doing when experiencing the website. It has a series of prompt that you follow while navigating the site.

Tested this:




I found a few issues with this idea:
> It didn't really create the same response as the book did. A book is a lot easier to pick up and move around with where a laptop is very still.
 - It might be better in phone format rather than a website, smaller and more portable.
> It didn't have the same level of engagement as the boos did, it felt a lot more passive.
 - This may be due to the fact that it had be designed for a laptop, designing for a phone could solve this too.
> There currently isn't an end point for the website, I'm not sure what this would be.
 - Uncertain on the aim, this needs to be thought through more and be better established.

With the idea of the image on the right (see above) I had the idea for this being on websites that provide information, the circles would block certain parts of the text.
(1) This could work with the audience having to move the mouse over the circle to make it disappear.
OR
(2) The circles could disappear at a specific rate, making the audience read the information in a certain way.

Idea One :

This got me thinking back to the idea of having different systems bring light to each other.
I used stickers before to block our where the eye rests within a sentence but this was places on a piece of tracing paper so it could be read.

During research I found thermocromic ink when it gets to a certain temperature it goes transparent, maybe this could be used in the book. People would have to warm the stickers up with their hands, placing their hands where their eyes look to be able to read the text.
