Paisley ID: A Lo-Tech Spiritual Interactive Experience

Step into a world where everyday technology becomes a gateway to self-discovery. Paisley ID is an art installation that transforms familiar objects into portals of personal reflection and communal connection, weaving together the threads of spirituality, interactivity, and lo-tech magic.

The Essence of Paisley ID

Lo-tech: Repurposing common, everyday technology (POS touchscreen and thermal printer) and familiar objects (ATMs and arcade cabinets)
Spiritual: Incorporating concepts from numerology, soul age and chakra theories
Interactive: Engaging participants in a hands-on, personalized journey

This combination results in an experience that bridges the technological and the spiritual, inviting participants to rethink themselves and their relationship with the world.

Installation Components

stations

Participants begin their journey at one of the stations:

Repurposed ATMs (Automated Fortune-Telling Machines or AFTMs) or
Custom-built Arcade

These stations guide participants through a series of questions about themselves, encouraging intuitive responses.

Based on the quiz responses, a unique paisley is created for each participant, it represents the participant's energetic essence.

TICKETS

After completing the quiz, each participant receives a printed ticket with their personalized fortune. This tangible keepsake incorporates insights from numerology, soul age and chakra theories.

AQUARIUM

The experience culminates at the aquarium projection where each participant's paisley swims and interacts with others. This visualization in a reflection on social connections and community dynamics.
