JoyXercise-- Art & Harvest

JoyXercise,
It is time to interact, power from the people!

“JoyXercise”, is drawn upon the fields of “New Media Art- Interactive Installation”, “Exergaming” and the “harvesting of human energy”
My project consists in hacking already existing Exergaming hardware and give it a new artistic meaning in the form of Video & Sound Art plus LED Lighting design. It also contains a web conference feature: as the user exercises, he or she switches between the local source and the one happening over a distant/close location at the same time.
The media content to be played refers to environmental awareness focusing on the area of “human power harvesting” 1 . The JoyXercise can be totally sustainable by the power-harvested from the user. I intend to pass a clear message mixing digital culture, Art and Technology, Science and Ecology.
