The Chair
The Chair project was my submission for Fresh Media 2015. The project consisted of a chair and a screen. On the screen was a character sitting in an identical chair to the empty one.
As soon as someone sat in the chair, the character would get up and walk off camera leaving the viewer to contemplate an empty chair. Occasionally, for a bit of variety, the chair would walk off instead, leaving the character and the viewer wondering what just happened.
In this project I used my experience as an animator in the game industry to create an interactive work. Feedback was positive and I gained much insight through observing people's reactions. I intend to explore this project further by introducing more branching paths and varied interactions.
