Project 2_Michael Loesch

    My project is about the slow path to becoming overwhelmed, and how you might not realize it until it's already upon you. To do this, I used an animated ciacada as an (almost) constant presence to reflect the state of the person becoming overwhelmed, and then I used increassingly annoying or grating sounds combined with bright colors and flashes to express the gradation to the breaking point. At the end, it cuts off abruptly, though ambiguously. I do not want to say what happens to the cicada/viewer when it does, but rather let the viewer decide for themself how to respond to stress.
