The project “White Paper” is a part of the analytical study through implementation and experimentation for my classroom project “graffi-V”
The project is about collaboratively doing graffiti art on a big display by giving voice inputs. Whatever a person speaks, is broken down into different parameters of sound, i.e. frequency, loudness etc, and all these parameters are mapped to the different properties of the text ( which is speech to text converted from whatever the person has spoken ) like colour, font, font size etc. It is a project about sociability where people come together to collaboratively do graffiti on a display screen.
As a part of this project and to understand people’s behavior, I stuck three large white sheets in 3 Computer Laboratories of the campus. And left it with them in their labs for 3 days and allowed them to write their mind on them.

The initial observations are:
For such a thing to take place, the instrument with which they write is a major factor which holds them from writing, i.e. if people don’t have a pen in their hand ( or in the vicinity ) they wont attempt to write even if they have something to write
Very few people take the initiative to be the first ones to write, i.e. the initialization should be done already for people to carry on the chain reaction.
Usual scribbles on the white paper are often answering the one who has written before them.
This makes me think, if graffi-V should be a “one at a time” input system.
I will write down other observations as the days will pass by
