Today we had our first full class meeting at Signal arts center which as previously mentioned is the location for our final project. The main idea was to just brainstorm today about how we could make a specific to site contribution to the project. Robbie suggested that each class member have a 8 second time to present something, this would allow everybody equal exposure, especially when considering the short attention spans of a passing audience.
Here are a few ideas which intrigued me:
– Using the projection screens as windows into a house and having somebody’s silhouette draw curtains or peep outside the window. This would effectively activate the interior of the site as a place.
– Giving the signal box eyes and a personality in which it interacts with surroundings.
– Showing the history of the land, making it look like theres a reflection of the surroundings in the glass, buildings being built along the Yarra.
– Using the screens to have an object viewed from two angles, the persons profile on one screen and on the perpendicular having their face.
The goal for next week is to finalize personal brainstorming and bring our ideas forward to the class.
