Original Proposal:

Title: Tolerance

Background:
An open message to parents on the concept of tolerance.

Problems:
-- Hate of other people, religion, sexuality.
-- Most of them come from parents and teachers.

Objectives:
-- To create awareness of teaching tolerance to children.
-- To show what happen if there is zero tolerance in the future.
-- To teach people about tolerance

Motivation:
I got the topic after watching a video clip shown by my lecturer, Kok Yoong during the DM's class. It's a video about a handicap person sharing her story of being a handicap to her audience. During her talk, she said;

"...they only learn to be frighten...when an adult influences them to behave that way."

I 100% agreed with her. Children looked up at adults and learn from adult. Children need to learn how love one another, to respect one another and not to expose their mid with hatred.

Idealization & Concept:
Create an audio visual that include motion graphic, video and typography.

In order to expand more on this topic tolerance, I made a mind map about it:

I will inject elements like sad/hurt/depress in my upcoming installation. Just a few emotion that can reach viewer's feeling.

How Tolerance in my installation:
Using projection mapping installation. Why projection mapping? Easier for audience to understand because using only video and projected in various sections and angles.

// Research 3

I am still researching for a good content for my project. Not just having a good content but also sending a powerful message to the audience. So I'm still researching for that. Hopefully if I consulted with my lecturer I would find what I'm looking for. But so far here's what I've found and could be a potential content for my project.

// Research 2

I've been distributing questionnaires through online for research and I want to say thank you for all the people who answered them. I send the questionnaire to people of various ages and the result quite amazed me. According to my result, only students were agreed on helping me with my questionnaire. As for the adult (working people), them seemed to not care about it. Hmmmm~ Well I can see there's two possibilities here. Whether their busy or pretend to be busy (don't really care). So much for Tolerance huh? LOL.

Here are all the questions that I asked:
- Gender
- Age
- Status
- Occupation
- Do you understand what tolerance means?
- Do aware of tolerance in Malaysia?
- Is tolerance a virtue?
- Is tolerance important?
- How to teach tolerance?
- Why does the world need the tolerance?

Anyway, here's the screenshot of my result. Again, thank you for all whom helped me :)

// Research 1

I've been searching a software to develop a projection mapping easily for month. Finally, I found two program that are probably the most easiest way to create a project mapping. The softwares are called  Quartz Composer & VDMX. VDMX unfortunately doesn't have this feature built-in, but fortunately has beautiful integration with Quartz Composer - allowing user to build a quad warper in QC using a GLSL vertex shader, which should be super fast.






These softwares only available for MAC users (as I was told). That's a problem right there because I don't own a MAC computer of laptop. But I try to borrow one....hopefully~

Got this from a website: Memo.tv

So many things to research and touch~!

// Sketches & Mind Map

Sketch:

(I'm really having a bit of a trouble trying to figure out hows the placement of my projection mapping going to be. This is only an idea. More sketches to come)

Mind Map:

(The idea of my topic is to put an awareness to the public of how important it is tolerance in children)
