WEEK 6: MIDTERM PRESENTATION
Pictured here are my materials presented during the midterm presentation. The all-round theme of my exhibition is ''People Connected: Across distance & time''. This theme explores the evolution of communication methods and devices throughout the years, that has helped people stay in touch with each other from great distances - specifically more personal connections (friends, romantic partners, family). The idea is that this exhibition not only displays the communication devices, but also touches on the way it has evolved in terms of senses. From physical words on handwritten ink letters, to being able to hear your loved one's voice, and nowadays even seeing them live on a screen through a digital device as if they're right there!
Evolution of communication methods and devices
The three main senses that have played a role in this evolution: physical words, audio, and visuals
The speed of and time it takes for these communication methods and devices (months, weeks, days, a mere second - slow to fast paced)
Personal feelings and meaning of connection between people; touch a little bit on its societal impact (though this is not necessarily the main focus)
The idea is to have something educational for people of all walks of life - all ages and generations. An exhibition that is fit for the whole family, and which allows interaction with the exhibition itself as well as the visitors. An experience that is very intriguing and exciting, yet very informative to anyone who may visit.
*Not pictured are two smaller experimental models (both scale 1:33). These illustrate two ideas for interactive installations within the exhibition. As soon as I'm able to take pictures of those I will add them to this post!
