Project Iteration

Weeks 1-3

I brainstormed some ideas on creating an interactive participatory system that remained open to changing interpretations from user input.

I was informed by participatory and community authored projects available on the web.

From this, I started to rearticulate my line of enquiry:

How can a participatory digital environment allow users to collectively construct shifting interpretations of a shared poem through interaction with a structured visual system?

Iterating using p5.js

I decided to use the drag and drop pre-animated asset iteration for my final project, as it was the most intuitive method while preserving openness.

This is my first attempt at coding this using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The poem on the left uses the original haiku from Basho as a foundation, therefore not changing much in structure or length according to how the assets on the canvas change.
