Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

Aj Camille

After having a quick talk with Aj. Antoine today, his comments were positive but he did leave some thoughtful remarks.

Firstly, about the floor, ground idea. To me by the moon 'effecting us ' i tried to link everything possible to fake the 'effects on us' part, considering the 5 senses and all.

To Aj. Antoine, he thinks that the moon 'effecting us' should be just emphasising 'the effect of the moon'.
By that he thinks that me making the floor having a different feelings, softness, and playing with people stability could be misleading and by adding this unconnected element my message could become confused.
He said that because the moon doesn't have an effect on human stability (ie. it doesn't cause vibration, earthquakes, volcanoes etc.), therefore i should not emphasis that part.

Should I ditched the whole ground, floor completely? keep it the same or shall i adapt it so that it is not a prominent factors of this experience.

Secondly, he also comments that my space focused maybe a little too much on negative experience of moon light (but after explaining about the eclipse, victory and frog story that im adding to the end of the journey this became a little better). He said maybe i could be neutral and lets people be their own devices(as my proposal) in judging whether moon light is a good or bad power.

That being said maybe my project is missing a
dimension of imagination? as everything is so thought of and prepared.

* I think maybe night time imagination? because this required both darkness and light(which is most prominent on fullmoon). People are imagining things from intricate shadows of trees, bushes and they can make it out to be something beautiful or truly terribly terrifyingly terrifying.


ALSO things that im planning to do
- story board (with sound effects) << guide people through step by step and talk about all the changes in different factors
- stopmotion/animation (with sound effects) << flow of overall experience
- site plan
- plan
- section
- elevations
- conceptual board? (maybe just the research booklet?)
- perspectives
- models (hopefully the whole if not just part of the walls and floors)

ps. do you think the decomposition of wall layers should be done as exploded axon or analytical drawings, diagrams?

You need to be clear about your work yourself dream.
Otherwise you will always bounce back and forth according to different person's remarks...
Of course it is a necessary quality to be open to criticism and advices but don't confuse it with simply trying to please...

I will thus let you find the answer for the floor - remember what is the main idea behind your project
And it was never about focusing only on the negative effects !

I totally follow you on the imagination part though - I don't think your project is totally missing it but yes, try to emphasize this part both in your design and in your presentation.

Your Production plan seems good - and for the walls you can do analytical axonometric drawings!
