Urban Archeology
Given the requirement of creating an application using urban archeology as a metaphor, I chose to gather information concerning the choices made by consumers when shopping for cereal at a traditional grocery store versus those at a store marketed as a healthy alternative. Using photography, as a mechanism to visually convey the statistics, I designed an interactive and entertaining app in order to share the information with the public. PROJECT OBJECTIVES Using archeology as a metaphor, explore the artifacts of your urban surroundings and create an interactive visual documentation of your findings. For the purposes of this project, you will use the term “urban” to apply to any human built environment.
