WEEK 2
Shtilyan, the lifesaver
In the beginning, the fact that Shtilyan was in Bulgaria was a bit frustrating. In the end, it turned out to be our solution to our problems. He, with a fresh mind, came up with an amazing concept inspired by Chaldni's technique. We then talked about it, and tried to implement this idea into our concept. We then decided to create an interactive installation with a hologram as well as sounds, that people can control with their hand movements.
​
Getting our concept clear was not an easy thing. We had to talk to a lot of professors, as well as Jacob - a super cool artist - and the owner of the skate shop in the city. We god a lot of inspiration, and we finally got our concept straight.
Week 3
In this week we worked on prototyping the installation and making a promotion plan. Sacha brought
a friend who workes at Gogbot. Because I'm the promotion girl I got her number and sended a
document with a clear vision about our intallation. I also looked for events in Enschede which we can use for sponsors and promotion. I looked on websites from Enschede which are promoting cultural events and I looked at the event calander. I also made a list of promoters we can ask for our materials.
On tuesday I went to the skateshop with Shtilyan. We talked to the guy about our idea and brainstormed a little about what we can do for the skateshop. He also offered to help us if we needed any skate related equipment.
I noticed that our concept is sometimes hard to explain to other people without a sketch or 3d model. That's why I decided to make an animation that explains the concept clearly in less than a minute. With my teammates I discussed I will finish the animation before I'm going to Sofia on Wednesday. I already brainstormed about the look and made small storyboard.
