Hi fellow interveners, now that we know we can't do any of this yet without doing the permission thing with Curtin and shopping centre, for our assessment we have to still document our collaboration and planning, possibly with a view to really doing something next year.
Pauline said that we can display our blog and any other documentation/planning efforts so far, as a collaboration, at the review.
I like Amanda's little timetable - it sets out all of our deliberations nicely. But I think it is alot of activity and needs more to make it coherent or meaningful in some way. But we can think further about all of that. Maybe we need to come up with a clearer theme and make that a little more explicit? What do others think?
Sharon and I went videoing, photographing and sketching last Friday at Midland Gate. I found this a really interesting experience in terms of restricting the aim of my cameras for ethical reasons. I found myself pointing it at the ground most of the time, except for window shots and wide long distance shots of the whole space. I can easily divide the still shots into two categories: space (floors, reflections, people's movements, architecture and fixtures) and "stuff "or mammon, consumer goods in non-biblical terms.. (shop window displays of artefacts, toys and clothing). I have put a few here as egs, unfortunately the blog doesn't seem to allow me to arrange them as I'd like - it keeps shutting me down every time I try to move them! But the first four are examples of stuff in windows, and I have alot more along the same line (some with miniature animals which look really freaky! and then following them a picture of some live puppies in the pet shop window). The six below those are egs of space, movement, reflections etc. The ones with reflections are quite beautiful in some way. I have heaps of these, with people's legs and trolleys moving through. I am making a presentation which I hope will depict this sense of movement and space.
Pauline suggested I use these ideas to extend the intervention into something of my own, but I just put them here as a contribution to our deliberations, as they might trigger something in someone!
I'm attempting to upload a slide show of the still shots - it is still a work in progress and any suggestions are welcome! I have had a few goes at uploading it here, it needs to be quite a small file and mine was huge. I have now done a Part 1 with a mixture of video and still shots. It should now appear below here.
Still having problems putting it here. I will try putting it on a wesite then putting a link.
This link does work - it takes you to iGoogle videos where I have uploaded it. Still very much a draft.
I have now uploaded Part 2:
