This week I was initializing and trying out some thoughts on what I could make. And because of how I was working on a project about zoo in the visual language class, I was inspired to maybe bring in the interactive tech approach into my thoughts on the zoo. I mainly tried to watch some facemesh tutorials and tried some drawing on the coordinate maps.

I used Directory of Basketball Courts of NY as my data set. The set includes location (x,y coordinates), addresses, and its accessibility. I intended to create a visualization of the map of such with infos stored.

I changed my text towards the final project. "Jalan, jalan" means taking a walk in Indonesian. I took many walks this past summer. I want the curve variations to offer a simplified route of a small walk.

I feel the climb moving to New York right now.

I wanted to create an interactive game that reflects on the watching, gazing, and staring in the space of a zoo. A staring competition where the participant (zoogoer) would reflect on the power and intention behind their simple watching that defines the activities. In which only the eyes remain the measurement of the gaze, and the face could be shifting from different species (ideally i wanted it to be a structural morph, which only the eyes kept, but my own drawing might do the demo) .

I want to emphasize on the dimension adaptability from an interactive avenue. The starting anchor point and the ending anchor point dictate the directionality of the text, while the changing points along the curve could mirror the haphazard nature of a walk we take.

For the last line I added scale and degree changes for GUI
