Site Project continued..

For the Site project that lasted only a week, I had a very interesting week. Vaguely based on the idea of the Fortune trees in Japan I approached people asking them to write anything down on a strip of paper which I would then place around the uni to be found. I found that this was the best way to get a large respond in such a short amount of time. I also tried leaving a notice to invite people to write things down but the response was low.

Over the week I began to find asking people very stressful and that they were not compliant. I also began to panic because I hadn't made it clear that these strips of paper were to be found and read again. I decided to not use the written strips of paper and began just folding blank pieces. I had no idea that there were so many precautions to take when involving people.

For the final piece I stuck the blank pieces of paper along the stairwell in the entrance to Chatham, hoping that people would pick them up along the way. When they did they would find it would be blank, this is my idea that if you are so closed to writing down something you are not going to get something back in return!

Visually the folded pieces of paper worked well and I would definitely like to go back to this project but alter it some how. I could maybe create a table inviting people to share their thoughts and make it very clear they will be read. This project was a nice back into term break and I thought doing something simple would be the best approach, and it was also very easy to clear up at the end of the day, which is all that the piece was supposed to be up for.
