Final Output for the final project.



Here's a video of our final project for this class. As shown in the video, users can interact with the buttons using motion detection. A touch on the buttons will trigger the application to slide to another picture.

Users will decide on the story in this application. It depends on them to see it from different perspective. It can be as simple as a child that wants to be free from home, from any curfew from their parents or as complicated as a citizen that wants a change to the country, or fleeing away and throw their citizenship.

If you cannot view the video, here's the screenshot of the application :)

Empty Bird Cage

Empty bird-cage after release of bird at 2.46 pm, on Monday 10th June 1974. 1974
Campuran
50 cm x 40 cm

In National Visual Art Gallery (NVAG), i was impressed by this artwork by Sulaiman Esa.

at the first glance, i was wondering why is an empty bird cage doing here. But after some thought, it gave me an idea of leaving burden behind us, and go seek for our freedom (future).

when i see the title of this artwork, it gave me another feeling. I have the feeling like when children grow up, parents will allow them to leave home, but they didn't come back home, leave the home empty. now days, when teenagers grown up, they will leave their home for work or even further education, their home feel empty (lonely). A bird cage without bird looks similar to a home without people.
