Possible idea for Complex project

After watching Projected Light, and observing the Complex in action -
> Modeling on the idea of the Shidoni Foundry.

Consider some venture like a Coding Foundry: to translate designers
and artists' visions into computer code that makes things happen in
sound, light and interaction. Ambient modeling et cetera. There
Creating very cool and artistically seductive versions of sound and
light for artists who have visions but don't want to put the years
into the learning curve for the programming.
There are and will be more and more designers, artists, and other
visually oriented people around the world with ideas for conceptual
presentations like that , who do not want to learn all the computer
tech stuff.
You can function globally with this.
What if: the Complex became known as a place where multi-media
artists could bring mock-ups of ideas, like the small waxes that
sculptors bring to Shidoni. The Complex translates those ideas into
big projected installations of code that produce the artist's vision.
Could ultimately be a pretty successful endeavour.
There was a lot of inspirational talent on display, and you might
capitalize on that for fun and profit.

Re: Possible idea for Complex project

Sure, cool.

But who would pay

1) to develop the app, and
2) to buy the app?

Re: Possible idea for Complex project

Marketing enters the picture.

The apps would either be those already in use, see Projected LIght for examples

Or developed under contract with the users: designers, media artists, institutions who do not have their own team in house, etc.

Who would you suggest?

Any ideas?

Re: Possible idea for Complex project

Indeed. One department of the sfComplex that I have not been introduced to yet.
