design
(rendered here with transparent screens. clock would actually be mounted on the backdoor)
sod interior. tin foil roof. red satin curtains. countdown clock. interactive musical LED flower garden surrounded by shear flowing curtains. aluminum frame for opaque synthetic screen (should weather better than natural). maybe some strobe lights. feather would definitely need to glow at night. soft music in daytime, loud at nightime performance. couches and chairs in the garden and under screens. could be a place where people come and do work, use the internet, and hopefully upload and record media.

Kiosk Design Concept
This is a design concept that uses a roof mounted projector array, three-sided canvas crown (stretched over bracketed flagpoles), and three modular "face-boxes" (installed on the existing stainless steel shelves).

this is a really rough basic design. the area in between the screens would have a curtain and there would be some place for persons to put their face. I've got some sketches that are more interesting to post soon.

Project What:
I think sticking with mostly faces is a good way to simplify this project, nad has potentials for doing interesting things with (which is our next big step to figure out).
Project On:
There are 3 windows in the kiosk. I would mount two large screens outside the two windows on either side of the central window, and have a camera in the central window.
The number of machines inside is a big question to solve. I think it would be possible to have one computer with two video outputs for the two projectors, however, whether or not we have enough processing power for handling two video outputs along with any compositing or effects we want to add or sound we want to play is something to figure out.
If we go with 2 projectors, and 2 computers, the question/problem is that of networking and synchronization.

Project What, On What?
Today’s discussion: PROJECT WHAT???
If everyone’s OK with the “quick summary” email on 2/22, one of the assumptions is that we’re concentrating on recording and displaying faces. This would be like the left side of Andrew’s sketch
So the question of the day is: project what? On what??
Keep in mind that projecting faces on face-shaped screens requires some kind of registration
The Suzuki installation that Brad points to uses the spinning jungle-gym as a screen (the photo is actually a time lapse image). But projecting on domes or other shapes may be worth considering.
Finally, better to project on something smallish that’s brightish than on something biggish that’s dimish.
I know I know, what’s the content? We’re at a point where we need to play both sides. So today: project what? On what??
