Sunshine Spiral is an interactive, animated piece highlighting each location's unique soundscape and visual atmosphere. Artist’s Phuong Nguyen (Programmer), Cristal Sherman (Animation), and Lane Davis (Sound Design) developed a spinning postcard board along with an extended display for the visual. With each turn of the wheel to a new card, the location is displayed on a loop until the next one is chosen. The cards serve as an amalgamation of locations for the Florida traveler. A new traveler starts with an empty wheel, traveling to each distinct area to gather the experience of the areas, and, of course, the token trinket of a postcard. They exist as a memory for where they were, remembering their experience and having a souvenir of their time in the Sunshine State.

Original artwork by Hayden Collins. In response to her work, I extended the sides of her image with Photoshop's Generative Image feature to create a window and curtains for this artwork. Utilizing music from The Caretaker, I designed an audio experience for this piece to invoke feelings of memory just out of reach of remembrance. The distortion of the image was done in Premiere Pro.
