FYP Meeting 2.
so what's next?

5th May2009
Meeting Objectives: Looking ahead!
Second meeting with Lydia.



So what's next?

Having shared with Lydia our prototype, we were rather hopeful as she told us that it does have a lot of potential.

Questions raised out of the meeting

- What's next after doing the lamp?
- How is your space going to be like?
- What would the audience take away after exiting our exhibition?
- What do we want the audience to feel or engage with our exhibition?
- How do we make it engaging?
- How do we show that this lamp or rather our whole exhibition would be something of what an art student would do, rather than what an SEG (engineering) student would do?
- What can the lamp do, when its not turned on?
- How do we further better/improve our whole overall project?

Basically, we looked into the next big step of this whole project, which is to look at how we are going to work with a space. And we looked into how we want the audience to feel once they step in our exhibition/space.

Lydia raised a point about things that can beautify/compliment the exhibition, like those fireflies buzzing around the exhibition trying to give the feeling of a fantasy world.

Which led to the team questioning how we can try giving a theme towards the exhibition which could further compliment our lamp and space.

After meeting with Lydia was over. The team stayed back and further discussed and shared to what they have to share. Sahida raised the point and recap about how we can use a theme to further compliment our exhibiton as it would help the audience engage with our exhibition. She also raised the idea of making our exhibition more engaging.

But that aside, we looked into what were going to do tomorrow with the first attempt in making the real thing (the lamp). All 100% focus moved to the making of the lamp which is our main priority at the moment. Robin led the way, by asking what were the things we were going to bring and how we can make this work. And we went to Home Fix at Causeway Point to get our wiring for the exoskeleton of our lamp!

Our current progress:
  1. The team is going to do their first attempt on the Lamp on 6th May 2009.
  2. We are going to try video-ing it down
  3. We are also in the midst of doing the storyboard for our video
  4. We are going to look into the video we want to produce by Mid-Point
  5. We are also in the midst of doing the 3D mock up of the exhibition on Google Sketch Up
  6. Also we are all looking out for exhibition or space for us to work on to showcase our work!

As share earlier, check out this light designer, I saw his books at the library and thought it was pretty cool. Ingo Maurer.
