Brainstorming

After being given the initial project brief we were told to individually come up

With twenty ideas as to what we would like to do for our final installation. Based on common themes we split up into groups.

Once we started sharing our ideas we came to a consensus that our theme 

would revolve around magic and fantasy.

We wanted to create another world based on memories of those imaginary games 

one played as a child. It should feel like you were escaping to some place else for just that moment.

When it came to how we wanted to articulate our idea we decided upon using video, sound and fabric to try and get as close to a complete sensorial experience as we could.

Chalking out the idea

Chalking out the basic direction as where we wanted to go with our idea 

was a smart thing for now we could narrow it down and come up with something more concrete.

We eventually agreed on a cloak. The two ends of the cloak would be attached to the ceiling blocking of the room from the viewer. When the person comes in he/she puts on the cloak and it falls starting a projection and sound; thus transporting the viewer to a different place.

He/she can see herself in a mirror with all this happening around her , making the viewer feel like he/she is a part of this world. After a few minutes the cloak rises and the music and projection stops.

We then collected images that would inspire the look and the feel of the experience that we wanted to create to be able to develop our ideas further. While doing this we stumbled upon a quote by Roald Dahl which perfectly described what we wanted to say with our installation.
