Collaborative meeting

Notes from the ambassador meeting:

With our idea developed to an installation, similar to one of our original ideas of the confetti, we have developed the make your mark idea to a happening. The Bubble Shack would still be made from the 'tiled' cardboard boxes, but would be a smaller area. A walk in, walk out, experience. With this we need to think about how the bubble machines will sit in our room and at what height, also need to look into where to purchase these or if it is better to hire them. Then test the bubble machines to determine their output. We would need multiple power sources - dependant on the bubble machines. There could be interesting lights or music to make the experience more exciting. All these ideas need to be confirmed through the facilitators, to see if it is do-able. These are some notes about the market palace and ideas towards some of our thoughts and questions.

Interactive Installation Ideas/Inspiration

William Forsyth - Scattered Crowd

A thousand white balloons suspended up in the air always placed in architecturally significant spaces to create a sensory experience within the space itself with accompanying music.

Andy Warhol and Billy Kluver - Silver Clouds

Changed traditional expectations of art by allowing an experience in which the 'viewer' could mingle and interact with the installation. 

It is works such as these from which we can gather and take inspiration from, for our further development in our idea of making our 'collaborative artwork' more than that, we want it to become a semi-interactive experience which at the same time appears to be somewhat of an art installation. After discussing our initial idea, we felt it wasn't quite strong enough as a stand alone idea in terms of originality (being very similar to other groups) and also in relation to the fact that people may not have necessarily wanted to be involved without a defining factor (something to draw them in) to the experience. If we develop the art installation idea, it could work extremely successfully in terms of being different and something that we know for certain people will leave talking about it and discussing the meaning and purpose of it. 

Interaction idea

Week 5 - prototype

This prototype shows our developed idea from week 3-4, and how it would potentially function and look. These images show the tiled outside, which on a larger scale would be constructed of layered recyclable cardboard. The 'tiles' on the inside would the where the 'make your mark' artwork would be produced and the needles hanging down represent the pens/paint brushes etc that would be provided for everyone to contribute to the artworks.

Development ideas for the make your mark box

These ideas stemmed from out developments from week 3, in which we discussed how we could potentially pitch our created works from the collaborative artwork to a cafe of some sort in order to show that we do see potential in what our idea could produce.  

Week 3 and 4 thoughts

Ideas of our project developing, and if these ideas are realistic. What is safe and suitable for our market place environment.

1. is it safe?
Yes, people who engage with our stall will be wearing protective gear from the paint or other media. Our structure will be sound as well, but there is no real danger involved.

2. is it ethical?
Yes, people are able to express themselves with media in their own way, there really won't be a lot of restrictions.

3. it is possible?
Yes, most of our materials to make the structure will be sourced free or cheap from bins, otherwise media is the only big cost - which will be easily distributed between the five of us. To construct the structure, we have talked it over and after making the frame, other materials should be relatively easy to stick onto it.

4. is it affordable?
yes, as stated above - the structure will be made from recyclable material that we can source from bins and media materials will be affordable.

5. how is your concept put in the world?
Expressing yourself, being a part of something, having your say.


6. how do you gather momentum from here?
We are continuing to develop this idea, different media to use and ways to use them. Also sourcing cardboard boxes and materials is next - to literally test the idea.


Brainstorm more options, then start experimenting ideas. We can start to try and think about different cafes who might be interested in purchasing, or somewhere we could donate, like a charity that could be interested? The finished canvas, could create a pitch and a way to promote our idea to these places.

Need to evaluate everyone's ideas and the final idea from group A to answer this question, but a market can be as similar or diverse with what is inside, so I'm unsure whether there will ever be anything missing or if something will always be missing.

I think that if there are gaps, that either group A can bring in some third party people to supply food and drink if there are not 'stalls' from groups B and C. Or our markets just don't have meals for everyone, I'm not sure what direction we are aiming for.


Students will be stressed in the last week before hand in, I think the market place in general is a break for them and then to our 'stall' in particular, it is a good way to express themselves and make their mark.

Sketches of Week 3 Development

These are some basic sketches outlining our development from our discussions in week 3 in which we received input from other groups in order to help decide on a solid idea, as well as creating some form of development from the initial idea we had discussed and planned earlier on.
