I left the church this summer and have discovered the joys of up-cycling Bibles for art projects.  (Unfortunately I'm all out... Anybody want to lend me one?  A nice big thick one, please.)  This project will feature two lights in a display board, and a switch underneath some sort of platform for a Bible to rest on.  As the user turns more and more pages of the holy book, the weight on the left side will increase and eventually depress the switch.  This will cause the first light (labeled "gay") to turn off and the second light (labeled "straight") to turn on.  Obviously, if someone reads enough of the Bible, they'll quit sinning and learn not to be so gay. 
 
  
I'm thinking I'll design the display board to look like one of those informational pamphlets modern churches seem to favorThe platform might look like a mini altar.

Mini bio

Hi, I'm Samantha Peterson - I usually go by "sami"

I'm an ICAM (visual) major because an art degree with an emphasis on programming is my idea of a good time. I'm thinking of going into the video gaming industry to become an art director, but I could change my mind at any time. Most of my personal art is in acrylics and mixed media, as well as charcoal drawings. I haven't updated in awhile, but I have a deviantart.

Useful skills?

Following are the skills I have that might help me in this class. Feel free to ask for help.

  • programming - Java, Javascript
  • HTML, CSS
  • Photoshop, Illustrator
  • Flash
  • painting, drawing
  • various crafts (jewelry, plastic bag fusing, making chocolate truffles?...)
  • sewing

I didn't like my other idea. Mostly because I don't want to have to locate a Bible. So, something light instead: Happy Plant. When you shine a light on it, it jiggles. I'm stealing the parts from a vibrating back massaging thing, and trying to learn how to make a photoresistor work...
