We met in Q.25 in the Hunter Building in the ECA main campus, which is the DDM studio so it felt nice to have a change of scenery.
Lulu wasn’t able to make it sadly, but we kept going nonetheless.
- Fraser showed us a sketch that he made of an installation based off of what we discussed in the last meeting:
It came down to the perception of the flow of time through life stages. It included draped fabric coming down from the ceiling dividing a room into different sections and also had physical objects to display the passing of time. - We realised we all had separate ideas – so we need to unify them
- The question I was wondering then was; what is the common denominator in our idea? What ties is all together?
- We talked about if we wanted to have the installation divided into different, strict, stages. Yanis argues that it should be one big room because time and emotion – life – doesn’t pass the same for everyone. It is chaotic and we should let our audience decide where they want to go, what they will feel and what they will take from it. We shouldn’t suggest a right way.
- Hasse mentioned not telling the audience what stage is where;
This made us shift our focus a bit to stage rather than age, and how that would relate to our installation.
Through discussion a theme started forming. Water was a big thing that kept being mentioned so that got established as our vessel to communicate our message. Hasse had considered making large suspended interactive drips of water, that when interacted with, the environment of the installation would change. We really enjoyed this idea and decided to look into the tech of this to inform our outcome.
Eventually we ended with the flow of time through emotional time, and using water to represent these emotions. That brought us to:
Installation that represents moments in time through forms of water.
- LOVE – RIPPLES – TWO PEOPLE INTERACT
- UNCERTAIN – RAIN – UNDETERMINED
- LOST – EVAPORATION – INTERACTIVE WALL HUMIDIFIER FOG
- JOY – RAINBOW – PROJECTOR
- FOCUS – FLOW – INTERACTION
We all really liked this idea, and how interactive it would be for the audience. I think we still need to fully understand what we’re saying.
RESEARCH NEEDED:
- Interactive wall
- Flow of water with magnets
- Projection Mapping
