AssignmentWeek1

Part 1

Create an interactive station that communicates one aspect of mirror reflections with little or (preferably) no mediation. Your piece may include some brief assistive/directive text. The main purpose of your interactive piece is to be engaging and to serve as an entry point for further self guided exploration.

Materials: Use materials similar in quality to those used in the workshop.

Presentation: We will set-up the pieces on tables in our classroom in Stanford. We will spend a few minutes with each piece. We would like to hear what explorations you envision the user to be doing with this piece and which problems you encountered/improvements you would suggest.

Also, be prepared to answer these questions about your mirror/reflection piece when we meet next Friday:

      -You are probably working on this because you find this personally engaging/interesting. Why is this interesting/engaging to you?  (It's important not to forget why you found this interesting in the first place!)

     -Where did you encounter problems? What would you like to improve and how?

     -Did you encounter opportunity? Did you decide to go down a different route during the process?

Due: Friday, Week 2, beginning of class

Part 2

Give a critique of an exhibit that worked very well for you, and why; an exhibit that didn't work for you and why; and suggestions for fixing the latter. Illustrate your descriptions with photos and/or videos of the exhibits in question. It might also be helpful to illustrate your suggestions with drawings or altered photos.
