Feedback from our presentation from David Price was good.We conveyed well how we worked together as a group, and used the presentation as a way of trying to resolve our outcome.
Katy and I has useful discussion with DP re. resolving our project outcome:
- We both voiced some unease with where the project is right now.
- Feels maybe too complex - trying to include too many elements? Outcome could look confused and messy - participation/ performance drawing/ a game/ drawing instructions/use of the window.
- Katy and I asked - is it feasible to liberate ourselves from some of these former ideas? Simplify the project. DP advised yes this is perfectly acceptable, if based on a process of research and testing and elimination. DP suggested e.g. that the participation issue has consistently caused us problems, so it would be fine to drop it.
- We thought about one element of our research that has been consistent from the beginning - the use of the window.
- Is the window a metaphor for our group's process... its qualities are transparency/ nothingness....it is a lens for looking...a frame on the world....a surface for reflecting.
- Have we been looking but not seeing?
- DP thought a conceptual work using our group process and our final indecision could be simple and effective. Surrender to our indecision as the outcome.
- We thought of e.g. creating a frame on the window with tape as a means of inviting people to look, really look.
- DP suggested some simple written text, or random words in paper that makes reference to our group process e.g. printed and left in a pile for visitors to take/ read.
- ...or some simple text written on the glass by each of us about the indecision being the resolution of this project.
- I like the idea of freezing the project in this way, freezing our discomfort and inviting others to share this. This feels like a way of resolving the process.
- Mmmm...the more I think on it the more I like it. .
- Thoughts?
