The flow.

Down to finalizing the content and the flow of how user should experience my installation.It might be like a story or chapters that they have to experience and participate in it.

1. Brief introduction of my concept.
2. User input their heartbeat to mark and form their existence in the digital world.
3. Movement 1: Wormhole - Dozens of other hearts floating around in the wormhole, waiting to be discovered.
4. Movement 2: Whisper - Get a insight on what others thinking, get to know them.
5. Movement 3: Connect - See how people connects with just one heartbeat away from each other.
6. Movement 4: Distance - Ask anyone to participate together in a conversation while detecting each other heartbeats, if the heartbeats value reach certain graph, it will trigger the light to blink.

Finalize flow:
1. Main menu
2. User input their heartbeats and key in their data
3. Movements:


Wormhole- I use the Internet metaphoric as a wormhole, a hypothetical tunnel bridges the web worlds and the real world. Instead of becoming the route of millions of data transferring, all the individual's digital heart representations floating in the wormhole, passing by each other, trying to leave their marking in the route.

Whisper- Here user can catch a glimpse on what others are thinking and feeling.It feels like the person is whispering their thoughts to you and here you can get to know the person a little bit more.

Weave- Here is like a human web. The system will sort out and display the 6 person that have the most similar heartbeats value to the user from the database. From the big pool of people from the wormhole narrow down to the specific individual for each person. (6 degree of separation)

I'm here- The final stage of the movement is the physical representation of the individual. I used LEDs matrix (as the rep)to show that a single normal daily thing (like lamp, leds table)can be intriguing too. I wan to show that if the user(from location A) click on the selected heart, it will trigger the leds to display pattern(at location B). The people at location B when they see the leds starting to bling, maybe they can sense the presence of someone being there even though they are at different location.
