Soul Depressor

I would like to create an interactive piece around the theme of depression.

If you are interested please contact me. We will start as soon as the semester ends.

Two components: Melancholic Meditation(Mediation?) and Networked Isolation.

The first part will be defined by the progressive loss of control in a virtual environment.

The second part will be created around the structure of users interacting through manipulation of color and sound that combine to form an abstract expressive stream.

I just thought of this on my lunch break so there is much more to develop. Anyone that is interested is encouraged to participate. I am interested in including photography, film/video, painting, poetry, music, computer code... whatever you feel that you can contribute. Perhaps a database structure that is dynamically expandable to include submissions? I would like the networked experience to allow the recording of an expressive "performance" that is retained by the system.

I feel I need to escape the constraints of "narrative" and retreat to a subject with which I am intimately familiar. At the moment it's depression and I would like to grow something creative from that.
