As part of my thesis project for my Masters in Interaction Design at NYU, I worked on a proposal for an installation, and then followed it a few years later by an iPhone app.
This project explored the reflection between analog and the recognizance of your life. Its purpose is to aid in a kind of religious reflection via a private / public tactile process.
The installation begins when user is asked to reflect about an anonymous confession, but to then make that confession public, and see everyone's reactions as they get displayed to everyone.
The user walks to a podium in a physical door, mimicking the catholic church's "ask for forgiveness" analogy, but in this case, there isn't a priest to confess to. You confess to the pen, paper and to the SouGate (door), which are meant be tools to "absorb" the confession, and liberate it to a screen, to be read by the rest of the audience. The act of doing this "confession" in a way allows the "sinner" to be magically "Forgiven by the SoulGate", while witnessing passerby's reactions to them, which will entice the sinner to think of the sins as either a self healing process, and feel better about it, or to really repent, and acknowledge the damage made, if any. The results are unexpected.

The SoulGate App was created a few years after, in order to make this interaction happen anywhere. The "forgiveness" process happens within the app. no need to discuss with a stranger!.
