SPACE: DOCUMENTING SPACE
Posted November 7, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Following on from my precedent study I now have to come up with a way of documenting an unknown space (all will be revealed tomorrow) relating back my study. I have a few ideas of what I could do:
- Christian Nold describes how his project is very much performative so I could look for performance in the space. Maybe note down where CCTV cameras or other authoritive objects are and see how people act in the space these inhabit.
- Nolds bio-mapping project to me deals with psycho-geography, so I could document how people are feeling. I could do this by taking photos of people’s faces in particular locations and judge how they are feeling or I could survey how people are feeling about particular aspects of the space by asking them to rate their mood. This could also combine the two.
On reflection I think I will go with the latter and maybe try and combine the two. Therefore I need to devise a form and will need a camera to record peoples facial expressions. I think the way this could work is photograph them then ask how they are feeling. I think this could make an interesting map of mood.
