THE BHANGRA BOX

Presenting The Bhangra Box: an interactive video utilizing computational media and physical computing where you, the player, get to control live-action shot Bhangra dancers!

You create your own piece by deciding when the bhangra artists individually dance, and both increase / decrease their speed to the music via pushing arcade buttons on a box console.

Created with with p5.js, Arduino, and live-action shot video.

 INSPIRATION

This film is a love letter dedicated to those with disabilities that fight to achieve their dreams despite the obstacles, and to their supporting family and friends that are alongside them on their journey every step of the way.

My hope is it can inspire other budding creators with disabilities to share their voice as well.
