reflection on the presentation and concept by arne & karin

We used the technique for reflection of Edward the Bono, the Six Thinking Hats.



goals for this project
- calligraphy more than just an image or ornament to look at
- understand, interpretate the meanings: enclosure
- by means of connecting and comparing calligraphy with graffiti
(their tensions, similarities, disciplines)
(by transform, explain, express, unlock)
(respect, learn)
- make it a physical experience for the user (interactive, intuitive, big)

positive aspects
experience:
- user is easily involved in a physical way
- grafitti makes calligraphy accessable for people to read
- grafitti fits calligraphy concerning its way of expression (art/thoughts/performance/writing/attitude)
- walking references to development, process of understanding (path, discovery) (backpack of experience)
- distance to closeness is a methaphore for getting involved, diving into the subject, come close, interest (starting point, end point)
- transformation of beautiful but indecipherable ottoman calligraphy into contemporary symbols which also use elements of text and visuals
- the actions in the physical world have a great impact on the visual respons (BIIIIIG)
- the experience adds something to peoples understanding and knowledge
- simple, direct
- while its a flat visual experience, the context can trigger deep thoughts and emotions

negative aspects
- a flat conversion, its not deep
- its a 1:1 transformation
- environement does not fit (see the moskque or interesting street spot)
- it is not multi user
- its a projection

creatieve aspects
- more suitable environnement (ornamental, ball?, any object?, the alps, a ruine)
- we need a way to change the current subject
- the tween can solve the flatness (the balance thing of sofia, visualisation in between, bilder!)

practical aspects
- we got 1 week to produce
- we could use an arduino + distance sensors
- many more but we are to tired to put it out here this very moment

emotional aspects
- karin does not feel it, but sees bIg potential
- arne thinks the have a good starting point
- karin and arne agree on the starting point
- aswell on the BIIIIIG thing
- arne can feel the flatness, but has the idea it will grown from a little girls landscape to a more female landscape with hills, and depts and rivers.
- karin can feel the flatness, but has the idea an AMAZING male landschape when it is becoming older. Its just a litte boy growing up, becoming a exciting rush of blood to the...
