DIGITAL GENIE
A concept for an art piece for Frequency Festival in Lincoln. The genie is an illusion using Peppers Ghost technique to simulate a virtual reality genie. The brief was titled "Liberation" and required a response to that effect. I came up with the idea of the genie either being liberated by the user, or the user being liberated via their wishes.
The idea was to have the user interact with the genie, starting when the user opened up a laptop ( meant to represent a lamp), and then have a few generic responses to voice commands, so the user could ask for a wish to be granted. After this interaction the Genie would request to be freed by the user, creating a scenario where the user had to choose between the freedom of the genie or their own desires being fulfiled.
