Installation Concepts:
Post it Note Positivity:
- Somewhere in a very public place is a wall covered in post it notes. The post it notes are two different colours (the notes spelling out a word are one colour and the background colour is a different colour)
- The big word spelt out on the wall is related to LGBTQ and with pens provided, invites people to come up and write their positive thoughts on the topic.
- The word on the wall could be a question - this would prompt the audience to have an idea of what to write
College Truck Installation:
- An installation inside a truck that goes school to school (like the Harold the Giraffe truck or the art gallery trucks
- Each room of the truck has a different installation in it that comes together to create a message at the end
- Entering the truck: Dark with dim lighting, fairy lights around, hanging at the ceiling are different sized mirrors on string (like a bead curtain)
First Room: A semi circle room full of mirrors, all different sizes, attached by either string or wire from ceiling to floor, they have the ability to move slightly, to enter next room, you pull apart mirrors to make a door
Second Room: 'The Muscle Room', different muscle full bodies in loving/ caring positions (eg two female embracing [can only tell they're female by their female anatomy] etc), could either be slow/ subtle moving figures or fabric made muscle figures on the wall
Third Room: 'The Skeleton Room', different skeleton X Ray full bodies in the same positions as the previous muscle bodies, they could move the same as the previous muscle bodies (if I go digital) or be multiple printed X Rays on clear plastic sheets,
Fourth Section/Room: 'Hearts', behind the sheets of skeleton X Rays hearts fade in -they'd have to be digital to fade in and pump, OR they could separate the X Rays to enter the heart room.
Fifth Section: 'The Message', This is the part of the installation where we communicate the whole idea behind this installation,
- Meaning behind this installation:
Mirrors: A physical reflection of who we are, this is what people see when they first meet us,
Muscles: A layer is taken away from people, we cannot tell who is who, we can see their gender but not who these people are
Skeletons: Another layer is stripped away, the bodies are totally unidentifiable by gender now, this starts to confirm the idea that everyone is the same: human,
Hearts: Communicates the idea that everyone needs love in their life (hearts symbolize love),
Message: The moment the audience really clicks, words fade in saying something along the lines of "Love has no boundaries, love has no gender, love has no judgement" etc. This is when the audience understands this is an installation about equality, we are all humans wanting love, etc.
App Concepts:
Post it Positivity:
- An app where people sign up and post positive quotes, pictures etc
- When users first sign up, they enter their interests etc to build up their profile and what first appears on their homepage
- Users can search topics they are interested in
- Mix of Twitter/Yik Yak (people writing their thoughts -people can like or downvote them, Instagram/Pinterest (people post pictures can like or downvote them, they can be connected with hashtags)
Walk with Me App:
- An app that aims to create new friendships
- Organizes walks with other users
- Users create a profile, no profile picture (aim is to meet people not based on their looks), write a little about themselves, write interests -all profiles are public
- Send out a message on other users homepages that are in the same area as you -you write where you are walking from to where and what time
- Other users then contact you on the app and you can chat, see if you want to walk with them
