Cootie Catcher
Based on the popular children’s game, this site will unlock your future in response to the viewer’s answers to: “pick a color” “pick a number” “pick another number” leading through the paper game interface to the viewers forseen fate.
This website will lead the viewers into a variety of different web treasure avenues via (links, and photos, videos and text…) There will be numerous paths (a new cootie catcher per the day or week or perhaps month), but each catcher will be a linked as they are kind of like a diary entry: my life via internet shenanigans, or a fictional character’s entry, or my best friend’s.
It will be interesting to translate the cootie catcher game into a paperless media, but if it is detailed enough, or engaging, I don’t think that the paperless environment will detract from the charm of the game. I think that the main influences to this idea are journals, blogs, delicious’ personal bookmark collections, fictional stories, and artifactual portraiture. (as this would be a virtual artifact portrait/journal/story)…
General Audience: web surfers, bloggers, creepers, people who enjoy hyper-text based interfaces, and probably primarily women because I am a female creating the content and the stuff I like, make, write about will probably be most interesting to someone like me.
