SEVEN: a socially engaged digital media art installation

Abstract

Seven is an Artefact that intends to explore the relationships between digital media art and social art. This paper aims to present the process and design of Artefact Seven. Seven uses varied techniques and materials, such as painting with acrylic and resin, LED strips, buzzers, motion sensors, printed and virtual text, augmented reality, 3D animation and an Arduino. Its ambition is to target the user's awareness by alerting him to various problems in the world and confronting him with his sins, and maybe this confrontation can make him contribute to these problems. Also, there is ludic content for younger participants to engage.
