The First Review Meeting

Questions posed by Rustam and Matt (my review panel) to me.





* Who is the audience of this book/ project?

* Are you approaching this as a designer and/or author/artist? Clarify for
yourself. Will help you in formulating a method and approach.

* From whom will you collect the stories? Cast your net wide

* Why book? What other forms can this project take? Can you utilize
different media along the process of collecting, compiling and presenting?

* How can the use of a specific media create more of an impact/ be more
appropriate?

* See the possibilities for this project- the process at the moment is very
linear

* How can this project and its process be more interactive, initiating
dialogue? - online? What media can you utilize for this?

* Can the book be just one part of the project. A record or document of
the projects process and method?

* What is your method? - Create a timeline and send asap.

* Also look at the creation of Daily targets.

* As well as objects, people and spaces also consider the senses - touch,
taste and smell.

* Will these stories be presented as they are (fact) or be modified
(fiction)?

* This is where the question of ethics comes in.

* What is your role in this project? Are you the art director/ curator -
speak to Aiyasha about similar work.

* How can your project be more than just illustration, photography and
layout?

* How could you theme/ categorize the 'data' that you collect?

* What is the history of 'attachment' as a subject through art/ design
projects, papers, books, literature, painting etc?

* Look at traveling and going to places than being stagnated at one place.

* Find different methods by which to record the stories.

*Rustam- " DON'T REDUCE IT TO A BOOK!"

*Find ways of making people comfortable and opening up to you; anonymously maybe?

* Check out Peter Blake, Assemblage, Deuchamp, Studs Trkel, Alan's project on objects and memories.
