Joy's superproject idea

[I really like Joy's idea below of combining everything. We might need to get together the following Friday to put all the results together? I'll have a think about some more questions to ask. I like the idea of buying things off people (if they will sell)!]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how you guys went on friday at the shops with Judy.

I thought a lot about it over the weekend.

I thought to combine everything, we could make a movie.

Perhaps, with the theme being about 'place', a documentation of human

behaviour.

I thought that maybe we could have a whole list of questions and actually interview people.We could tell people that we are artstudents and we are interested in what peoples individual reasons are for shopping.

Example questions: a. why did you come here?

b. how did you get here?

c. what did you buy here

d. can we buy something from you (all of us put in

$5 broken down into small change)

e. Do you come here often?

Perhaps; Amanda and I could be the interviewers, Amanda collects allof the things that any one wants to sell to us (from their ownshopping) and takes each thing to a special area and builds a shrineout of them.

I could be secretly trying to give hugs away and carry a notepad tokeep a tally of hugs I get to give away. (hee hee)I could tell thevideo camera that is what I'm doing, but not the people that weinterview.

Jill could be measuring and mapping things,anything and everything ie: where people talk to us (or not talk to us) onto a map of theshops and collecting any found objects and mapping them etc.

Sharon could be filming the whole movie documentation.

I still like the idea of a full on collaboration.

If anyone is up for a chat this mon or tues pm, I am available from 8pm til late and all day wed.

Hi, I was wondering if it needs to be done at the shopping centre or if we could do the intervention some where else??

Cheers
