Neil Mendoza, Anthony Goh, Simeon Rose
Detailed text:
This project will take the identity inferred on people by their oyster cards and use it to turn them into an artist. Each participant will be given part of a famous piece of art to recreate. In its rest state, the installation will show the current collaborative work. When a visitor swipes their Oyster card, the piece of art it is based on will show up faintly with the area assigned to them indicated. Using the light pen participants will then draw their interpretation of the area they have been given. They will be given either a selection of colours or, possibly, some predefined shapes or images. There will also be a website showing the current collaborative work.
