Ideation & Concept
User enters the installation space, a young girl's room, with certain arrangements of items on the bedside table. Curious users might possibly pick up any one if the items, triggering the projector placed above the bed to project image mapping that suggest movements on the bed and the sounds from a man and a young girl that suggests she is being abused. Users experience a story-based interaction without actually seeing what is happening, but the movements and sounds that could paint the image in their heads. Chapters of the stories varies between different items, ranging from physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and even child neglect.
Review, Analysis & Precedent Studies
“Victims like to be aggressors sometimes, and aggressors are often reconstituted victims. People actually may become more actively aggressive when they feel forced into a passive position.”
Design Approach
Installation space would have to be roughly half the size of an average bedroom, fitting a bed, a bed side table, and some space for the users to move around. A projector is placed on top of the bed, projecting images on it. bedside table top are turned into a custom keyboard with certain items placed on it's place to function as buttons when users pick the items up.
