Study Task 1

Study Task 1:

Record how members of the public move through and interact with public space. You must record your experiences through video, drawing, photography and writing.

In order to gain direct experience with the effects supergraphics and wayfinding have on our passage through public space, you are asked:

Create a diversion

Create a new connection

Make someone pause or stop

Group Ideas:

In order to respond to study task one my group have discussed different ideas about how to cause confusion through a sigh system. We have based our ideas upon leading people in the wrong direction in order to challenge the belief that sign systems must be easily understood and simple to follow. As a group we have been influenced by the work of Jim Lambie and his use of tape within his work as we plan to create a pathway using tape from some of the studios within LCA leading to the toilets. However we plan to cross over the pathways to create confusion which will be aided by using pink tape leading to the male toilets and blue tape to the female toilets. This will be particularly interesting as we will be able to observe how people react to the use of colour and see if our system effectively creates confusion and has an impact on the public.
