VS

Philippe Caron

Are you left or right? Liberal or conservative? Such questions continuously fuel debates in our democratic society. It defines and segregates us. We never seem to agree on one universal idea. As long as we have a leader, we seem to move along quite nicely. However, all leaders are ephemeral, which occasionally brings us along conflicting axes. This web piece is a wicked and cynical approach to provoke a debate between the two parties. Using a JavaScript library called Enchant, the game has historically conflicting figures fight for their opinions forever, relentlessly, and purposelessly.

Rush of Progress

Alexander Kozina

Rush of Progress is an interactive experience about the evolution of the human species. The user begins as a primate, but a wily one that must find nourishment and survive in the hostile savannah. The willingness of the users to journey beyond their comfort zone to continue living will spur the evolutionary gears, and they will slowly become more and more physically and mentally advanced. But beware! Should they cannibalize other simians in order to quickly acquire food, this unexpected source of pressure will spur their own evolutionary growth, making them significantly more hostile and dangerous and the long-term journey of survival more difficult.

Communities are built through the efforts of each member. Every person contributes by sharing skills and ideas, and drive to help enrich one another. This mutual support leads to the empowerment of each member, which creates positive environments for him or her to grow in. As a community, we thrive, we succeed, and we build bonds that will take us to the next stage of our journey. With this visual time capsule, we celebrate the community that brought us together and that has given us the tools we require to go forth and build greater communities.

Peekaboo

Eliza Nguyen

Peekaboo is an intervention in the public/private spheres of the web, over which users may or may not have control. It is inspired by Michel Foucault’s theory on the power of the observer via the Panopticon. This website brings forth those ideas and gives the user an experience with a camera that invades their personal space. The Internet is open source and straddles the notions of public and private. Once the user has entered the site, they can choose to use the camera as a tool to either engage or disengage with the rest of the world. If they decide to take a photo, the image will forever be published on the Internet for anyone to see.
