==Final Project Proposal==
For my final project, I want to create an interactive art piece that allows the viewer to approach an aesthetically pleasing several chocolatebars. The enlarged These chocolate is bars are going to be hand made, maybe out of cardboardconstructed with either sensors or open/closed circuits. Then, I want wanted to put sensors on make these chocolate pieces bars so that when the chocolate is touchedone goes up to lift one up or takes one, it a LED display will cause a show the number of LEDs child slavery within a specific nation. If I cannot get those specific statistics, i will just try to light upattain the amount of cocoa exported from the top countries producing cocoa beans. I will attach hook these LEDs in pieces to the construction of the chocolate, arduino and when someone grabs then have another wire connected to touch it, numbers a stuffed animal where the LED will be lit through the chocolatedisplayed. These numbers The stuffed animal will wear some sort of band that says "SAVE ME" or "FREE ME" which will represent the estimated count of chocolate factories and children sold into slavery to work working in these factories. I want to maybe put this chocolate in a closed off, chained box that is half opened. The chains will be made of wraps of metal or wirecocoa fields.  What I want to portray through this piece is to show the slavery and bondage of children sold into chocolate industries as slaves. Many third world countries have these chocolate industries that enslave children to work in fields, chopping cocoa beans and continuing on this job until adulthood. My project is to propose an awareness of culture and slavery that still exists today. I will use multiple sensors and thicker wire My main concept is to create chains that will light up LEDs in an orderly manner. I am not quite sure how all of this will play out in terms of presentation, but I am still hoping to maintain portray a "trap-like" machine that will allow the viewer to trigger the light up or even release of chains... (to be continued..)claim with factual statistics
