Random and non-sense thoughts at Siggraph

At Siggraph I thought a lot or at least I tried to.I had a lot of non sense thoughts but I think if I write them down and process them maybe they will have more or at least some sense later.

- How the physical world is connected to the real and how each one “feeds” from the other.
- Look at something=pass by /vs./ Understand=looks closer
- In which ways can technology helps us to experience reality?
- Virtual reality => create a space that can not be created without the help of technology
- Design is about solving problems while art is about creating problems to solve.
“An artist negotiates chaos. An artist is concerned with expression and with articulating the sublime. Artists work in the realm of ethereal and the abstract. A designer is concerned with negotiating their inner-artist and presenting a structured order.
Designers are concerned with communicating concepts and articulating abstracts. Designers boil down ideas to their core. Designers are the foot soldiers. Artists are the 'blue sky" strategists. It's pointless to be so defined that you only do one thing, art or design. They inform each other. There should be one word that incorporates the artist and designer. Maybe that word is "inventor" or "creator," but those are loaded words too”.
Yuri Gitman (Interview: we-make-money-not-art)

Some questions and thoughts
1. What is that I wanted to do with my Thesis? To solve a problem? Which kind of problem? A problem about way finding or about how way finding could be used to solve “other problems”.
2. How can it be useful and benefit the community?
3. Goal: focusing on something very small and solving it in a very strong way.
4. How to push people to feel free and happy to get lost? How to create and interface where the
purpose is to get lost?
5. Main emotional states that someone mentioned in a lecture( related to my moMa project): happy sad angry fearful disgusted surprised
