Presentation of idea proposals (+feedback & reflection) – Studio&Seminar
PRESENTATION IN JPEGS:
FEEDBACK (both teachers and class):
How can a material be sensed with touch?
– Sight vs touch
– What happens when we remove out ability to touch?
– Haptic
How are we weightless in water?
– explore how gravity is experienced
– how to create feeling of weightlessness in a garment?
– Patterns inspired by ocean
What are common desires?
– inhibiting the satisfaction of touching
– embed materials in plastic
Positive
– student expressed interest in proposal on gravity
– interviewing people would be a good approach
– all the topics are related, so is there a possibility to combine, especially the first and the last topic?
– could create a collection for underwater?
– could find materials that have some effects with gravity
– could imagine displaying anti-gravity garment by suspending them with invisible threads
– the middle proposition was also strong
– there is more room for research with the first and last one, perhaps?
– on seminar side, need to refine research questions
REFLECTION:
I have a very strong connection to the 1st proposal, because of it’s tactility and relation to touch. I however, also really like the weightless garment, which in a lot of way is a lot more concrete and direct and has a clearer end purpose, than the 1st one. I’m choosing weightlessness because it draws me and it seemed to be the one that got the most positive response in class, but I wasn’t there so I don’t really know. I happy with the decision but it still needs a lot of thinking and work, of course.
