Project Three : The Dressing Room

I have started to code the dressing room.

Project Three : Application scenario

The Gut-Doll project is going to be developped as an online flash application. Being online the application will be available to anyone from any connected computer. To visualize pressure, stress and hatred conducting to the use of this application, I chose to allow the user to take snapshots of its pressure relief / doll torturing and to explain it anonymously with a description which would be more emotional than pure  “users online” data.

At the launch of the application, the user will have to choose between 3 rooms : the dressing-room, the tower and the photo booth.

The dressing-room

It is basically what it sounds like : the room where you can dress the gut-doll to customize it. The gut-doll is unisex, so the user can make it wear anything. The purpose of the dressing room is allowing the user to make the gut-doll ressemble someone he wants to take revenge on or to ridicule the doll.

There are collections of items that customize the doll depending on its body parts. The users clicks on the buttons on each side of the doll to try on the doll the different items.  The user can customize : the hair style, the hair colour, the skin colour, the eyes colour, the clothing.

The Tower

The Tower is the dungeon of the application where the nasty stuff happens. The user can pick from a drawer the torture instruments he wishes to use on the doll that.

Exemple of items and their interactions:

Hord of Ajumas – runs on the doll and inflicts lots of bruises as well as noise

Microphone – use of the users’s PC’s microphone to make the doll shake to yell on the doll and make it shiver

Fire – Burns the doll and makes it all brown and bald

Soju pouring – Soaks the doll and makes it drunk and look silly

Photo Booth

The Photo booth allows the user to choose a background and to make a snapshot of his doll in it’s current state as well as write a brief description of why he made the doll look like this, it is then saved in the website’s database and given a specific url so that anyone can access the image and description. All of that anonymously.

Project Three : Gut Doll Project

Project Three : Gut Doll Project Initiation

Introduction:

During my stay in Korea I have heard on the news of many suicides of famous TV stars and singers. But it’s not only in the celebrities sphere. Last week a 10 years old child took his own life by hanging himself because he felt his grades weren’t good enough. That along with the infamous numbers of working middle aged men that commit suicide when they are faced with loneliness or worse : shame such as unemployment. Celebrities, salary men, young people, students : Korea has become one of the countries with the highest suicide rate and some even say the highest rate of suicides of all developed countries.

Project Two : My Computering Pleasure

My personal pleasure related to computers is Computer and Gaming Procrastination. I can spend hours, days and even up to a week hooked on a game, forgetting to feed myself or the passing time. It’s a zombifying pleasure and I try to quit being so addicted to computer gaming.

Project One : Computer & Meat

1. What is meat ?

“Meat” refers to animal tissues, it intends muscles mainly but can also designate internal organs, the word “meat” carries also various senses. Firstly, the word “meat” mostly intends in current language animal tissues that are killed, prepared and packed for human consumption, but the word “meat” can also be a metaphor for humans.
