we presented 2 weeks ago today. I’m writing this reflection using my notes/journal entries from the day of, photos my mom took of OLB, and memory.
-the presentation was a success. people showed interest in each of our 3 projects. we need better representation of the chair in the palmer.
-lisa suggested a place for people to write “I LIKE/I WISH/WHAT IF” statements to help consolidate feedback. we should include something like this in the palmer.
-we need illustrations to help explain each facet of experimental classroom
overall, I want to work on really effectively communicating our ideas using prototypes, illustrations, and some kind of small experiment for gallery visitors to engage in.
FOR FAMILIES WEEKEND
Tom and I discussed the feasibility of rendering a scale model, but I don’t think this is a realistic expectation. instead, in the palmer, we will display:
-a 3D model of the chair next to a piece of doll furniture that best resembles a courting chair
-an actual courting chair for people to sit in
-some prompts to facilitate discussion in the courting chair
-illustrations to help explain the goal of the crit chair
yay team!
explaining my the most refined prototype of the chair
POSTER- this is the data from our first data visualization experiment. each voice in the conversation is represented by a color. each post-it represents 15 seconds of speaking time. layered post-its indicate an interjection or interaction between multiple speakers lasting less than 15 seconds
MODEL-this is the higher resolution model of our data visualizer. rope passes through the ink jet chamber at a rate of 1 inch/5 seconds. as the rope passes under the ink jet, it is dyed the color corresponding to the speaker (assigned upon entry into the classroom analysis voice recognition system). the dyed rope coils onto the spool as it dries. the rope can now be unrolled and “analyzed” as a document produced during conversation. additionally, the rope is meant to be crocheted onto the model classroom
