Marimonda – TypologyMachineProposal

For this project, I am interested in creating a capturing device that is triggered by a particular event or behavior. Specifically I am interested in making a camera that takes a picture/short video of what I am looking at every time I say “Hell0” and “Goodbye”. I want to collect these and present them as either a book or video installation.

Perhaps it’s a bit of curiosity to what certain words “look” like, but I’d be interested in collecting enough images to be able to fine-tune or generate these things through the course of a couple of days.

What does a greeting look like?

What does a goodbye look like?

I am still not completely sure what this project will look like and if I will stick to this specific idea, but I am really interesting with observing the interactions I have with others in the world and how these instants look like from the perspective of data.
