Art project coded in Processing
The challenge was to design an art project coded in Processing. We decided to design a serious game about sexual harassment and aggression against women. This subject was close to our hearts, especially as 62,000 women are victims of such abuse every year.
In this serious game, the spectator plays the role of a victim which is represented by a sphere that varies according to the emotions. They will have to interact and choose actions that will affect the rest of the story.
The process
To conceive this project, we first conceived the scenario thanks to various testimonies but also through our personal experiences.
We then looked at the various interactions that the user will have to carry out with a tablet. To make them understandable, we indicated their manipulation through a series of animations integrated into the scenario. In addition, we experimented with several spheres on Processing so that the user could identify and feel the emotions as well as possible. To make the installation more immersive we put in various sounds and a clean background that changes according to the story.

We had the opportunity to represent our school thanks to our “Elle” project. To make as many people as possible aware of harassment and assaults against women, we decided to redo our project on P5js.
