50 + 50 Ideas
We brainstormed for an hour to produce 05 ideas. Afterwards we brinstormed again for 50 more ideas. MOst of of my ideas had similar themes, including, the usage of personal data, subversion, and our dark Lord Satan.
5 Ideas
These are my five best ideas:
HR Giger Headphones
I have always liked HR Giger and while I have mae a few pieces based on his owrk I have not created any technical creations. I think headphones would be a great way to display this style because of Giger’s frequent use of mechanical elements.
Authenticity App
Have you ever wanted to appear like a unique authentic individual without having to actually put in the work to have discerning tastes? Introducing the Authencity App which will give suggestions based on your location and social demographic. This app will suggest clothing, songs, and photos that are becoming popular but not in your location so you can appear cutting edge and like a cool kid.
This app is more of a subversive idea based on two of my good friends, one who gives all the appearance of having discerning and unique tastes while actually just knowing a guy in a large metropolitan area who keeps him in the know. The other likes to give the appearance of having really unique tastes, abhoring anything commercial and, despite mostly shopping at H&M, won’t be caught dead in a foreign country with one of their bags. I think it would be an interesting look into how being an authentic and unique person has become a pursuit in and of itself instead of the interesting things and events being the pursuit.
Music Remixer
I have always wanted to be able to play an instrument and be good at making music but I have no rhythm. Music, however, can be made using fairly set rules. In this project, I would create an application that could take in a sounds clip, song, or YouTube video and spit out a song in the style of remix music such as dubstep, techno, and house music.
While the music may not sound good at first, with some discerning humans judging it, I think with several iterations the machine could learn to produce modernly okay YouTube poops.
App for Crime Awareness
this project was inspired by a project that someone had done in my design foundations course. The idea is to use the police feed in a given area to put markers where crimes have happened. Whne user’s are then inthe vicinity of where the crime happened, it would alert the user.
This would be part activism, part informative as it could be generalized to all crimes or specifically, hate crimes, sexual crimes, etc.
Post Optimizer
Back in my formative years, my friends and I ran bots on Instagram and Twitter to gain followers from people who would #f4f. This project would take the gamification of social media to a new level by giving optimizations to comments, posts, and hashtag usage.
I liked this one because it’s awful and I hate it, but the challenge of it could make it worth it.
