Gamification of the Pink Bob
Data Visulization for a Univeristy Project
As I had to explore sets of data and experiment with presentation of them, I chose two extremes - the virtual and the real world. I wanted to talk about the gamification of life - the blurred lines between the physical world and the virtual reality of video games.
To do this, I used myself and my gaming experience as a base. I looked for a summary of myself in games; when I create a character in a game to represent myself, what is something I will always try to include?
The answer was a pink bob. It could be longer, shorter, with no fringe, curly, straight, dark and light pink, but that’s something I felt the best represented by.
The pink bob is a summary of myself, and an authentic measure for the gamification. The hairstyles include some from games played and loved, as well as my real hairstyles from photos. The comparison is conducted on a grid determined by length of the hairstyle, as well as the darkness of its pink colour.
Two bottom pictures are ones from my final year exhibition of final projects in 06.2023.
