-masks-maybe people could be given animal masks to wear when they come in so that it could be vaguely interactive without being intimidating. maybe.
- on the note of interaction there could also be drawers and books that people could open and discover something else. There are two plays- Faust and the masque of the red death made by a company called punch drunk and one of the things I like about their idea is that everybody who went to the plays had a different experience because of the nature of the rooms and the actors. I’m not suggesting anything on the scale of actors but it could be nice for each person’s experience of it to be more unique…
- Exploration: 18th/19th century explorers collecting samples of species- (the animal rooms at the horniman museum
animals in jars, butterflies pinned to boards…
Love the camp and journals ideas- Darwins journals...
Katie- you could put some of your animals in resin stuff in the exhibition. That would be coooool.
It would be so good to make our own animals to put in jars- ie people think they know what they are going to see cos it looks like something else but we could shock them with something they don’t expect…
-The hybrids thing…Objects like that monkey with a mermaid tail in the horniman- obviously people didn't know about the rest of the world and species were still being discovered- when people first saw the duck billed platypus they thought it was a trick like the monkey mermaid thing.
There are thousands of places like the rainforests in guyana where there are thousands of animals which have never been seen by humans.
Love Jordan’s idea about making our own hybrids and stuff - we could investigate different aspects of model making- like techniques used by special effects people for ideas etc as well as fabric and stuff…
-Monica Canillo’s installations are really cool. They are so intricate and detailed but a really big scale. I think they look so impressive. There will be so so much work to make ours as detailed etc but it could look amaaaaaazing…
Look at her website for more of the pictures I can’t copy to here.
