Tues 12th Nov – Introduction
On the first day I was unsure of a lot of aspects from going in blind. I found out this was a makers field, which is highly daunting as my safety blanket is my laptop and printable computer work.
Moving forward we looked into the idea that a designer, a maker can create a piece to effect the space. But how can we define a space? Currently looking into public spaces, the generic idea is a place that is open and accessible to people.
Looking deeper the tutor discussed how would we experience that space? including thoughts of what the space is, how the senses react and what effects it makes to the emotions.
when creating my own work i have to think from both the designers point of view and the view of the public. questioning; why am i here? what got me here? does it (art work) change? timing? can i leave traces of mine, of others, human or other?
After the lecture I looked into the submissions of what is needed, progressing onto the art’s effects and how I should think moving forward.

some work that are examples of what has been discussed:
hiroshi nakamura – http://www.nakam.info/en/ – how can things nurture other things – shape prays to the forrest – more concerned about the space and the nature than the design- how can the design change/ adapt to the surroundings. are things soft? the design? the materials?
Rachel whitread ghost – https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.131285.html – personal space that are familiar, yet ghastly with the inability to be used as the original object/ place was intended.
