Project Sketch

How does the Audience interact with the project?

There are two parts to the project.
First the audience will have to enter an interstice space where they will be greeted by a console.
The console will play music and poetry that is designed to bring forth the participant’s suppressed thoughts.
They will then be invited to type these thoughts into the console.
Whatever they type will be then sent to the ‘Vault’ (which is another room)
The vault contains all the words typed in the console by every participant
The participant will be allowed to enter this room
In the vault, they will be able to interact with the words.
eg. They can pick up the controller and shoot down the words that they typed.

Anatomy of Project

Is it for a single person or multiple people?

Multiple people will be able to type in their thoughts and it will be stored in the vault
Only one console will probably be made, so one participant types in his thoughts at a time
Multiple people can go inside the room and see thoughts being projected
But only one person will be able to use the controller to interact with the words at one point of time

What is the interaction/situation we are creating for the audience?

Creating a safe space out of an interstice space for the Audience to type their thoughts
Creating a cathartic space for the audience to interact with their thoughts
Creating a chaotic space, to see what happens if the participants decides instead to interact with the words of others.

What is the intention of this interaction?

To give participants catharsis from dark thoughts
To see what happens ( the anarchy that happens when people interact with another’s words and when participants see this happening)

How does this interaction relate to the concept of interstice?

Questions to ask

What would we project the words on? Just a flat surface?
How do you separate your project from just any other social media eg.twitter ???
