Questions and Privacy
Reading the Thesis Readings has been actually very useful to understand the process of making questions from a topic. It helped me to organize my ideas a little bit. Even if this is not exactly what I am going to end up doing, I wrote this Research questions while doing the readings:
1) I want to explore the idea of how to create alterative ways for people when exploring public spaces with out make them feel overwhelmed by thousand of instructions. I want to allow them to have less stressed, more enriched, and more self- exploratory, experiences. I want to make people to discover by them selves.
Because…
a) I want to find out if we can discover more when we do not follow instructions
b) I am trying to find out how signage could be used in an alternative way to create different experiences for people.
c) I want to find out how a building can be transformed in order to reveal hidden information.
In order to Understand
What is the information that people is looking for… which kind of experiences is a tourist or a Museum’s visitor looking for?
Although the last sentence maybe was not a coherent rationale it really opened my mind to think of the idea of what is that I would love to find when visiting a place? What is what I would like to do that I consider would enrich my experiences?.
I have been thinking about something that has been in my mind since the last four days: the idea of having access to the private and prohibited.
1. Enter in prohibit places. See what in behind “do-not-enter-doors”.
2.“Meddle” into stranger’s lives.
3. Have the chance to observe closer how people live and knowing their houses. Knowing what they eat, what they read, why the fight”
Always as a tourist we are send to visit the “public places” in order to know what is supposedly more important and relevant about a place. There are thousand of tourist guides about how to do that.
I remember having this curiosity about looking at the non-public since a long time ago. Remember when I went to Rotterdam that I love that there were a lot of first floor apartments and they did not have curtains so you can see the houses inside.
Also remember when I went to Yale University; the thing that I really wanted to do more was to enter into classrooms in which the entrance seems to be “ not permitted”. I actually remember better entering into those rooms that walking through the university campus.
How, using technology, could I have access to the private and make it "public for me"?
What could I (and people) could obtain from this experience? What secrets could be revealed? How it can help me to have a more exited experience in a place?
