The Collaborative Dynamic Art ProjectA proof of concept for the development of postmodern digital art

2The Collaborative Dynamic Art ProjectCy Khormaee, Andy Olson, Alex ZhengCSE 403 Product Pitch

Operational Concepts (Motivation)

• With the transition into a Web 2.0 world we believe the fusion of artistic thought is in line with our new global, communicative nature and we believe that software should reflect that

• Develop an online platform to support the development of collaborative postmodern art.

• Promote the integration of diverse ideas within a single work.• Provide artists with a community-based framework to progressively

develop each others’ ideas.

• Sharing application (CVS or Wiki)

• The Collaborative Art Project (Tom Groves)

• The Collaborative Dynamic Art Project is not a source control tool and not designed to support pre-existing teams.

• An accessible environment enables users to develop dynamic digital art using a 3-D rendering engine.

• Processing is an optimal media for the application of collaborative creation. The temporal element inherent in dynamic art as well as the spatial depth allow for a expansive and faceted canvas on which users can create.

• The Processing Community is primarily an online based forum for art.

• Critical Risks/Assumptions

– A critical mass of users will want to modify each other’s work and have their own work modified by others

– Integration of Processing module with Server infrastructure is possible

– Sufficient technical and UI development expertise for project implementation is available

Feasibility Rationale

10The Collaborative Dynamic Art ProjectCy Khormaee, Andy Olson, Alex ZhengCSE 403 Product Pitch

• This project is a novel exploration into the application of digital media to postmodernism which may serve as a cornerstone implementation representing a proof of concept for a new form of collaborative art.

• Project developers will gain experience in working with industry standard technologies (great resume builder)

• The project serves an existing community (people will actually use it!)
