final proposal

I am inspired by a couple of my computer paintings:

Dell Dimension XPS D266 Pentium II 266 MHz

Commodore 64

Another inspiration is this painting Carte Blanche by Magritte:

I made the following generative video composition based on this Magritte painting:

Carte Blanche, C++ and YouTube videos of wild horses and trees in the wind

When I showed all these pieces, I had the video on an iMac with the paintings.

For my final project I would like to make a physical version of this video running on the iMac.

I want to make a miniature set of vertical blinds sized to my iMac, which are motorized and can act on their own.
This project falls somewhere between a sculptural object and something I could use as a screensaver or lock for my screen.
On the screen, I was thinking of running a generative cloud program or a generative camouflage made from nature videos from YouTube.
The vertical blinds automatically slide across to close when someone is near and open back up when nobody is near.
The blinds rotate so that people approaching the computer cannot fully see the screen.
I want to experiment with priming the slats or making the slats from different materials (maybe transluscent mylar), so that I can project a video onto them which contrasts with what is going on the screen.
