Throughout the week multiple ideas have came through my head
with creating a project that involves creating something for the digital
domain. Such ideas range from the use of augment reality to some extent, web
based ideas, and use of webcam access. (e.g chat roulette). Many mind maps have
been created as a process of finding a ground point for a idea to start, over
time the main ground point for all of my ideas is based around idea of
implementing user generated content in a artist/ abstract form. From this I
have further narrowed my view towards the incorporation of webcam
enabling.
The idea that I’m pitching on is to create a sort of online community/ project that will keep track of/ record peoples appearances throughout a timely matter hopeful from around the world. I Hope to either incorporate a way for webcams to capture what people as they are on their computers while logged on/ have the site open or in a tab. Or perhaps a easier method in which people can upload pictures from their computer and possible connect to social websites. From there I hope to have all the pictures/ videos to be collected and kept for the entire day and then be refreshed at the strike of 12 am thus allowing new faces/ pictures to emerge. These pictures will be seen in multiple views that can be selected differently per personal choice. Some views that have come to mind: a sort of “global view” which will be more for the casual department. Users will be lead to a simple upload page in which files can be placed into a database that will rearrange the pictures via these view styles. For the Global View users will be allowed to pic which country they live in and if they wish to be kept anonymously about where they live in the world they will perhaps float in space etc (That has yet to be fully though through yet). But for the other styles these faces will be organized in different ways that will not me considered by country but perhaps gender, sexual preference etc. These ways will not bluntly show who belongs into what area but just to question the users comfortably with giving out personal information to social websites. In order for the website to be kept relative and have new fresh ideas/ stylistic presentations a forum will be created that will be run by mods to gather popular input and do their best to program such ideas into the website.

It is interesting to try to aggregate information into a more "global view" and to take advantage of webcams to watch a progression of faces. However I think this idea may be too "wide" to be accomplished during our limited remaining time; how can this be adapted into a smaller micro-context consisting of a much smaller social network. I imagine you are already well underway in revising this idea - I look forward to seeing your presentation today.
