Day 5: Givens

Moving on to more realistic prototypes, we need to consider the “givens” for the installation. 

Here’s a starting list:

GIVENS:

1) New Media Gallery space:

• size

• unique characteristics (e.g. five entrance/exits; stairs, location in the museum…)

• Traffic in it and through it (e.g. who is audience; usually not a lot of people…)

• electrical placements

• context of museum/Providence

• expectations of that space (media; temporary)

• acoustics

• handicap access

• non-moving wall

• height

2) Duration: five months (May 25 to November 4); so it needs some element of change.

3) Needs to WORK technically

4) Subject: Personal Bubble, concentrating on contemplative vs. non-contemplative aspect

5) Needs to be beautiful, well-crafted, compelling

6) Not offensive or illegal

7) to be continued…
