Final : Acupuncture +

Concepts:

* Balance and Counterbalance - Physical Wellbeing (Upper/Lower, Ying/Yang)

* Organs that have emotional associations

* 'Action at a distance' - connections between two things that seem separate

* 'Human' versus something clinical, removed, Realism vs. Abstraction

* Horizontal vs. vertical/ 2D vs. 3D space/ Sculptural vs. Illustrative

Game vs. Art

game brings incentive to interact, but might be mundane - 'fun' way of presenting knowledge
vs.
art could be more complex, but people might lose interest, asks more of the viewer

game that becomes art / art that becomes games

Foot model vs. body:

full size vs. scale
reduced model vs. too much info

Subway Map/Data Map vs. Emotional visuals/Video:

interesting metaphorical connection, showing relationship between two different systems, blood flow like flow of traffic/pedestrians
vs.
not so 'one dimensional' or 'cute' - not as easily resolved/understood, potential for more complex connections and relationships between people/emotions/organs/situations

Using data visualization as a model to explain connection - potential for different educational model
vs.
More associative response

Education vs. Expression:
