Research on the Design of Site-based Interactive Installation Concerning Cyber Speech Violence Grounded on Arduino

Cyber speech violence is committed in the non-physical form on online social platforms. In some online incidents that have already drawn much attention, what the victim said and did is often infinitely exaggerated and misinterpreted. Meanwhile, a large number of netizens usually criticize these incidents with their own limited perceptions and understandings, standing on the commanding heights of morality. In consequence, with the on-going development and spread of the incidents, more netizens will participate in such violence. Despite the helplessness of the victims, more criticisms emerge as follows, thus fueling the violence in virtual world to become real-life violence. In order to alert people to deeply understand the harm of online speech violence, the research applies Arduino, the open-source platform, in the design of site-based interactive installations. Such application aims to present intricate virtual perceiving behaviors in a structured and storyboard manner, thereby surpassing the design of traditional experiential interaction. Furthermore, it enables the operator to enter the scene from the first perspective, which is more in line with human cognitive habits. By means of constructing scenes, shifting plots and designing interactive process, the prevailing virtual speech violence in the online world will unfold before the eyes of the viewers. Taking the "site-based interactive installation of internet speech violence", supported by Arduino as an instance, this research has evidenced the feasibility of employing Arduino in site-based interactive installations, as well as has provided reference for the reform and development of constructing experiential interactive installations.
