My proposal is to create a sort of air cooling shoe that uses a combination of two switches to activate a fan that cools your feet ecery time you step. I will have a normally open switch that when pressed willturn off the circuit. Since your heel will be pressed down the fan will be off. When u lift your heel off the switch "aka a step" the fan will turn on creating a breeze to your toes. Then when your step finishes back to your heel the fan will be off. It will also use a toggle switch to keep the contraption off when your shoe is not on. Here is a diagram to show more detail. | My proposal is to create a sort of air cooling shoe that uses a combination of two switches to activate a fan that cools your feet ecery time you step.

Hello my name is Alex Barrera I am a Visual Arts major studying the craft of digital video and film. I enjoy making films that explore things that have yet to be seen. I am interested in taking the trivial and unimportant and shedding new light on whatever topic it might be. I create documentaries, short films, as well as video installations for art galleries. I believe that digital video is at the head of the art world and that it is a very refreshing medium to work with. I am interested in this class because I believe it will help me explore the backgrounds of the technology that I use everyday. I also believe that these sort of newer technologies are very essential for creating art in this day and age.

Proposal for Midterm Project: Switches
My proposal is to create a sort of air cooling shoe that uses a combination of two switches to activate a fan that cools your feet ecery time you step. I will have a normally open switch that when pressed willturn off the circuit. Since your heel will be pressed down the fan will be off. When u lift your heel off the switch "aka a step" the fan will turn on creating a breeze to your toes. Then when your step finishes back to your heel the fan will be off. It will also use a toggle switch to keep the contraption off when your shoe is not on. Here is a diagram to show more detail.
