T R I P (#4 Exquisite Corpse) 🍬

Description

Metaphor for the Mash-up:

1. Matryoshka = high dimensional space; highly advanced intelligent life form

2. PRISM = symbol of Law of Physics in the current 3D world

3. Skull = human; human behavior and cognitive mode

4. Columns = abstract fences preventing human from escaping current cognition

The metaphors are meant to use trippy, colorful visuals to indicate a cruel fact about the world in which we currently live: we humans are move, think in a mind-box, where we are constrained by THIS PARTICULAR 3D world's physical base. Unless we extend our sight to the space of higher level(comparing to the temporal, materialistic world), we are merely a bunch of precarious, pathetic DNAs, no nobler than my cat huddled on the floor.

Design Process

Reflection

1. Draw a coordinate location sketch before coding. It helps locating points/shapes more efficiently.
2. For a cooperating project, communication is important. Reminding people to do their parts ASAP if it's needed. Cooperating project takes longer than expected, since one is not the only variable determining the overall success.
3. p5js is really power consuming, especially when .obj file is loaded. Plug in to a power source, or keep an eye on the battery level of the laptop.
