Maps and Journeys 12- Feedback from Rosie

Our second meeting with Rosie allowed us to discuss our idea of the visuals further, as last time the idea was still floating around, with major tweaks needed. I believe our group had made a lot of progress since the previous tutorial with Rosie. After discussing our ideas with Rosie, which is that we decided as a group to go back to the original idea, keeping it simple yet effective. 

The basic outline of our idea is a interactive brain that allows an individual or group of people to get involved in touching any of the four main parts of the brain, singularly or all together which will display a simplistic visual piece on the screen and play audio clips. Each part will be quite abstract and simple, not making much sense singularly, however when formed together will allow the user to see the bigger picture. Rosie advised us to go off individually, think of an idea for the visuals and film them using a DSLR. Testing is CRUCIAL. 

Material wise we will need a brain model to work with, made from polystyrene or clay, to allow us to make a mould of it from plastic. This will be made using the Vacuum forming machinery at the university. We also need to discuss the space we want to use in more detail with Rosie, however we know we definitely want it to be in the gallery space rather than a classroom, which came up as an idea when discussing spacing with Rosie.
