After a couple of weeks creatively avoiding working on my negotiated project, the one I didn’t like, things have taken a turn and ideas are flowing again. Now I do like.

I call it Worn, simply because that word sums up exactly what the project will be. Traditionally webpages are static, every time a page loads a user can expect the same experience. But Worn is different, just by being on the page the user is affecting their experience, and of those who visit after them. Move the mouse, and you leave a faint mark. Scroll down, you make a scratch. Click on a link and you smudge the surface. Bash every key on the keyboard and you leave a dent, but just as soon as you become comfortable interacting you notice there is more. Layer upon layer to be discovered, decaying with time.

It’s an exploration of human-computer interaction, but also bringing a virtual object into the tactile world. To achieve this I will be researching generative and fractal art, to get some sense of naturalness into the object.
