Rolighetsteorin
Another digital artist I came across is a guy called Rolighetsteorin. There isn't much information about the artist himself. But he promotes something called the 'fun theory'. This is the idea that by getting people to do thing they wouldn't normally by making it fun.
Piano Stairs
They took the normal stairs in a tube station and turned them into a working piano. The idea of this project was to encourage people to use the stairs instead of the escalator, by making the stairs more fun. Below is just a screen shot of a point in the video.
I really like this piece of work. I believe it has a good reasoning behind it and is showing people that we can use technology in a positive way to help us all kept fit. I think this kind of interactive display can have a great impact on the people who use them. 66% of people who would normally use that escalator, used the stairs. This in return is making them fitter and having a positive effect on their lives without them even realizing it. I think this project has really opened my eyes to the impact digital art can have.

Arcade bottle bank
They took a normal bottle bin and made it into a arcade. The idea behind it was that if they made it into a game, more people will want to play. Which in return means more bottles are being recycled. Below is a screen shot of people using the bottle bank.

Random Thought
My name seems way to normal for me to be a digital artist.
