Storyboard
• Space is one of the problem from my topic, urban agriculture. My project is basically an interactive installation art. The installation is to create a virtual urban agriculture.
• A white prop represent an urban city. The prop will be a few boxes(buildings). In upper of the prop there will be a projector and a webcam. Projector will be projecting a video/animation from the object detected through webcam. The object will be small stone with different color. From the different stone color, a different video/animation will appear. The video/animation will be based on a few kinds of vegetables and fruit. The small stone is used to represent a seed
A projector and webcam is place above the prop so webcam can detect the stone and play the video/animation
Place the stone with different color on top of the prop.
Webcam will detect the stone.
A projector will project the video/animation as the stone is detected.

Urban agriculture is involving food growing and keeping animal in urban or built-up areas. The major factor why urban agriculture are rarely seen because of space.
Agro space is an installation art that stimulates the space, where the audience can create their own space for the plant growing. The concept of the installation is to create a virtual urban agriculture. The audience can place the seed (small stone) in to the city (prop) where the plant can growth. The seed (small stone) will growth into the tree (video/animation). Through this the audience can experience in creating a virtual urban agriculture. As they can create their own space for agriculture.
