Hot Gossip
This project I made an interactive installation with three other students. Our main theme was communication, and we chose Gossip as our main subject.

Part of a gossip is likely to be true. But just like water a gossip will pick something up, and will drop details going mouth to mouth, therefore it changes rapidly. One needs to be carefull, because he who gossips, will likely become a subject for someone else's gossip!

Water Cohesion
On the exhibition our Interactive Installation asks a couple of questions to the visitor. From this 'conversation' a gossip appears. The visitor can then throw his gossip onto a wall with a wiimote. Once on the wall the gossip splashes apart into seperate words. When two visitors have both splashed their gossips all over the wall, the loose words start to attract to its nearby words, and as the words cohese, a new gossip is born!

Lost Footage :-(
With pain in my hart I have to say that, since someone lost the video footage of the working installation, I don't have a video of the installation to show to you. But maybe I might just rebuild it some day, and make it even better!
