Design and program an interactive, time-based system that fosters ongoing participation from a community of your choice. Your project will establish a dynamic protocol—a set of rules and interactions—that shapes how the community engages with your design. The experience will unfold over time through real-time input from multiple participants or environmental factors.

Consider the environment where your system will be situated. Whether it’s a public space, park, classroom, gallery, or another setting, select input devices (such as keyboards, mouse, camera, microphone, motion sensor, light, sound, or touch) that best capture meaningful interactions within that context.

Your design should respond dynamically as the community interacts, generating evolving visual or physical outputs that reflect the collective input over time. Document how the work changes throughout the day, from the installation’s start to its deinstallation. Considering different time spans and documentation intervals. Reflect on how your system fosters a sense of togetherness and actively encourages community participation.
