Assignment Write-up for 9/11

My concept for my "digiscape" was to be able to investigate the components that make up everything you see within a computer screen. Since the computer is comprised of everything digital, it inherently is a "digiscape" within itself. The components that make up a screen are developed by the RGB colorspace — RED, GREEN, BLUE. In contrast, I'm including the ability to choose the CMYK colorspace — CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, BLACK — which conflicts with web viewing and is typically used for print.

Using the Mac OSX operating system as a reference point, where the interaction between minimizing, maximizing, opening, and closing is shown by default as a "Genie Effect" or the "Scale Effect" within the Dock, a three-dimensional environment is created. With my "digiscape", I chose to include a screen shot of my actual desktop. To keep the visual aesthetics of the stage very simple I used a white background and the RGB and CMYK color bars underneath. With code, I enabled the RollOver function to change between viewing the RGB and CMYK desktops and enabled the onRlease function to create the animation into the "digiscape" where you can view the interactive particles of either colorspace.
