Proposal

Research Topic

We would like to express the emotions of fear through our installation. The use of sound effects, lightings, projections and motion sensor will be our main medium in the installation. The user will have to interact with the installation setup to receive an output.

Target Audience

18 and above. If the time that we set is during the working hours. The installation is open for anyone and if the time that we set is after working hours, we will invite more people to experience the installation.

Problem Identification

People always heard stories where a person experience strange things that is paranormal, examples like they hear a voice coming from the walls, lights suddenly goes out the moment they walk through there. This strange events creates an emotional fear to the person who is experiencing it but not the one who listens to the stories.

Aim and Objectives

We will try to mimic the odd events in this installation and therefore, anyone who walk through this installations will feel the emotions of fear themselves. The environment of the installation will be set up accordingly to invoke the emotions of fear.

Motivation

We want the user to achieve the full experience of feeling the emotions of fear. We also want to create this installation where the user will feel the originality of experiencing the real thing.

Design Approach

We would like to place our installation in a dark place where we possess the power of surprise where it will make the user feel more scary. We also will place our installation inside a place where it surrounded by walls where the sound will bounce back to create echoes.

Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies

The darkened gallery space is dominated by an invisible sculpture of silent sound. Your body probes the space listening for the sculpture's spatial form to be expressed though the sounds of your contact with its immaterial presence.(Dark Matter-David Rokeby)
