Our initial idea was do have a donation box setup stemming off something simple like:

Thinking more about technology and social change we came up with things such as :
-Creating an area where, if danced on, music would be played as a result
-A way to collect money and as a result supply the donor with a fact or statistic (awareness)
However, we really wanted to hone into an on campus issue that has an effect on many people in this department. We decided to focus on the fact that the student art gallery is no longer available for exhibit. Thus, we figured we could make a donation box for collection towards a new space.
But, bringing the whole issue of money and thus power into art almost defeats the purpose. This is how our initial idea evolved from an automated intelligent donation box to an automated exchange of art. Using technology to facilitate the exchange of art. How fitting given the course!
