Tuesday 16th October 2007 --> About ideas...

Looking more at the transitional/language aspect of what i have researched so far. (Codes/symbols found within an art piece)

Going back to the slides i found in charity shop (hopefully finding more, i have about 16 at the moment or is this enough?)
IDEA: Having the slides through a projector (to what scale, small or enlarged i quite like the idea of the smaller image almost the same size as the 35mm neg, the viewer would have to get close to the image to view details.) <--something to think about. Audio description ---> slides (e.g "Slide 1, within this slide the building takes up most if the frame, colours/weather, etc what is thought about the slide) but having the audio description not in a particular order, so it doesnt match the projection, adds a pyschological aspect to the work, would people believe what they see or what they are told? Link to mind games played on people e.g;
" 3 lines of different sizes are drawn on a classroom board, one being obviously longer then the other 2, one person goes out of the room and the remaining people point to a line that is not the longest when the person returns do they submit to peer pressure and take it at face value that the line they are pointing at is the longest ( even if it is not) or do they question it?)"

Have the audio in quite a banal voice and listened through walkman headsets, so as the person moves around or pauses the tape for whatever reason they affect what they hear and when.

Suggestion 2- put copies of the slides around college and have a check of sheet people can use to see whether they have found them all.

RESEARCH: Fiona Banner 'The Nam'
Joseph Kosuth ' One and 3 chairs'
Martha Rosler 'The bowery as too inadicate a description' looks at problems in photography the person, links images related to the homeless around this area in new york in the 80's e.g a beer can on steps and has a projection if text relating to drunk e.g 'squiffy/comotose' as seen in the images below:












Also look at 2 Ronnie's mastermind sketch as a point of reference. And Epson Printer advert that was present in the London underground.
