PROJECT'S CONCEPT:
Following the conceptualization of our interactive installation, we proceeded with its physical realization. Our inspiration drew heavily from a range of interactive installations, most notably 'WHAT MADE ME' by Dorota Grabkowska and Kuba Kolec. Our installation, however, stood apart by spotlighting Amsterdam's intricate canal network as a central theme. Leveraging the city's map and canals, we conducted user research to curate predetermined topics centered around the LGBTQ+ community and sexual diversity. This allowed visitors to engage actively by dragging threads to indicate their preferences, forging a meaningful link between Amsterdam, the museum of the canals, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Testing:
After finalizing our concept, we aimed to assess user engagement. We created a board titled "What Matters Most to You?" with predefined answers and threads for users to interact with. Placed at HvA University's entrance, we observed and photographed user reactions, capturing their engagement and interactions with the installation.

Building:
After the testing phase, we proceeded to construct the board. Using laser cutting technology, we meticulously cut out the Amsterdam map, which we then affixed to the board's surface. Additionally, we attached pins and printed labels to designate different elements. To symbolize the canals, we employed blue thread, creating a visual representation of waterways on the installation.
