howdy from sunny, still christchurch -

i think sian's dimention approximation sounds great. what about pockets on the ends for holding forms/feedback/materials? i'm thinking 2 on either end, one above the other and about 200mm deep...

i don't know if this was already discussed but what do you-all think about a tape recorder on the trolley?

re andi's computer and auxiliary blog idea - i feel like giving the participants time for digestion might influence their initial reaction... maybe they will be able to communicate ideas better? does this give them some kind of advantage over others?
an on-site computer seems important for this to work so that the virtual/paper ideas are all available to potential collaborators.

i'm back in wellington jan 5th

Hey there happy new year and all that, hope everyone is surviving the family festive blah season....

Pockets sound good I reckon. Tape recorder for...recording peoples' comments, or?

What people think on the height matter?

Blog sounds good in theory but I reckon it will be hard to get people to engage with. Once they are at home they won't be keen enough I reckon to get back into it. I really like the idea of physical things in the gallery which people can add to and engage in. Then it is visually engaging like people can see what others have done / written. Even with this blog it gets pretty long to scroll down and read everything already.

I am away from 4th ish to Monday 8th Jan. Let's meet up as soon as possible.....I am still feeling a little er anxious about the looming deadline...........The sooner we can meet up then I can get Tyree onto making the trolley or however we wanna get it made.

Ho hum better consider that flow chart....am going to the Govett Brewster and I thought it might give me some inspiration.

Happy holidays! Sian

hey, yea I like pockets!
tape recorder idea sounds interesting too let's talk about that in our next meeting. Speaking of which- when should we have our next meeting?monday the 8th or tuesday the 9th of jan maybe?
and yea re: the blog idea I think maybe it'd be too 'virtual' afterall... It could be an interesting experiment-offering people different kinds of collaborating that would produce different results which we could compare. We do have a lot on our plate already though what with building a trolley etc, so perhaps we best just stick with that for now :)
