    Notes from Midterms

    • Some notes on project framing (tbd)
    • “unstructured space for boredom”
    • exploration, non-linear
    • responding & rewarding users curiosity

    Scans / Greenhouses / Layout / Plants

    https://superspl.at/s?id=75957fbf

    Barren at first,

    then lush and green

    offer a place to rest. to let your mind wander

    Interaction / Storyboard

    from “interaction to continue the story” to “interact to create the story”

    letting people pick their own poems

    -> start with the introduction i have now

    -> each plant offers different ways of being described

    -> visitor picks the plants that speak to them

    -> end result is a poetic description of the garden they created, i the way they see it

    -> chair offers space to contemplate

    3D Assets

    Intertwining the Physical World with Digital Overlays

    photogrammetry demo aligned to stair case.
    audio playing inside the frame.

    learning:

    1. physical interaction is fun
    2. embrace the weirdness
    3. aesthetics is very important

    Research


    Studies show:

    • self-assessed curiosity is a marker for openness
    • curiosity is enhancable
    • the interesting / satisfying part is searching, not knowing the answer

    Difference between Neugierde, Curiosity, and Wissenslust

    • Curiosity as (part of) the Original Sin in Christianity
    • Box of Pandora etc.

    >> Vast amounts of literary examples for curiosity being a bad thing.

    >> Over correction in Adulthood, leading to not being curious enough


    Visual Exploration

    What do I want people to leave with:

    “To be supported in their search.”

    “Seeking answers that suit their interest.”

    “Learning beyond just knowledge. “

    Poetic Intrigue as an answer to “How to not become grumpy”

    Romanticism; attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century.

    Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.

    (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

    Poetry:


    „Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen,
    Die da träumen fort und fort,
    Und die Welt hebt an zu singen,
    Triffst du nur das Zauberwort.“

    A song sleeps in all things,
    That dream on and on,
    And the world begins to sing,
    If only you find the magic word.

    Wünschelroute, Eichendorff


    „Wo jetzt nur, wie unsre Weisen sagen,
    Seelenlos ein Feuerball sich dreht,
    Lenkte damals seinen goldnen Wagen
    Helios in stiller Majestät.”

    Where now, as our sages claim,
    Only a soulless fireball rotates,
    In those days, in silent majesty,
    Helios steered his golden chariot.

    Auszug aus Götter Griechenlands, Schiller


    古池や蛙飛びこむ水の音

    an ancient pond / a frog jumps in / the splash of water

    Matsuo Bashō


    کنت کنزاً مخفیاً فأحببت أن أعرف فخلقت الخلق لکی أعرف

    I was a hidden treasure; I loved to be known. Hence I created the world so that I would be known

    Hadith of Hidden Treasure
