For this task we are looking at way finding and how individuals interact and explore their surroundings. We were put in groups of 4 and had to go out into the public and create:
> A diversion (cause people to walk/ move a different way)
> A connection (have a member of the public interact with what has been created)
> Make a member of the public pause/stop
To do this we could only use abstract graphic language and no text.
Our ideas are:
> Tapping balloons to the floor to cause a diversion, people cant stand on balloons therefore will walk around them
> Print fake money and put it on the ground to see if people stop and pick it up
> Tape on the floor such as caution tape to stop people walking over a certain point
> Tape over a door way either high or low so that people have to step over it or duck under it
> Tape a hop scotch onto the floor to get people to interact with it
> Put sweets on the floor in a pattern and see if people pick them up
Due to the bad weather, we had to adapt some of our plans as tape doesn't stick on wet surfaces. We decided to try the balloon idea by using a weight to tie it down however we only had one weight therefore could only use one balloon. This didn't last long as it wasn't long until it popped.
The idea that created most results was winding string around two pillars so that people couldn't walk in certain directions. This didn't cause the diversion that we thought it would, it actually caused an interaction. A lot of people touched the string or pulled at it which gave us good footage.
Overall if the weather was better then the results would've been much more satisfying however the footage we did document was still pretty interesting and usable.
