BILLBOARD BITSY

---

a collection of nine images that I want to project onto a billboard in a busy city area

The context of this bitsy is a seminar project. I was supposed to create a piece of interactive media that would then be exhibited alongside projects by other students. My approach to this was to create a bitsy game that centers around a relationship between two queer women. The game was supposed to be played with a controller.

However, we now have to deal with a late change of plans, as we did not get access to any location that would be suitable to exhibit interactive media. The location that we are likely to end up using instead, is a billboard. It is located on a theater rooftop, next to a busy street.

In order to quickly adjust to this situation, I created nine images that are displayed using bitsy. They are meant to be perceived and to resonate fast. In case we do not get to do it there, or in case this project gets rejected, I decided to upload it publicly on the internet. It is marked as 'in development' as I might apply changes such as adding, modifying or removing images. 

Context regarding Malte C:

Malte C. was a trans man that got brutally attacked and murdered during a pride march in Germany on August 27th 2022. He suffered heavy injuries that put him into a coma for a few days, until he died in the hospital. He is one of many, that have their life away by those, who decide to fight against our human rights. He will not be forgotten. Rest in power, Malte.

The work was created using bitsy and pixsy, as well as assets that were found online, One of them seems to have been created using a picrew template by wervty. I added the watermark of this artist manually back into the final result, as it got unintentionally removed in the bitsy room generation.
