concept: when our social battery is empty, it is difficult to disengage.
our installation should create a fluid and comforting space that makes it easier, and puts emphasis on this transition.
our main issue right now is having difficulty in how to translate this into an object:
ways of breaking up a social situation through an outside factor:
A: distance
B: turning away (not enough)
C: a shield or fabric (too obvious)
D: loud sound (breaks the moment too much)
C: changing position e.g. laying down (i think it’s not enough)
in the end a combination of these factors could probably be a solution, but we feel stuck and would like some input in which direction to go.
if the motorized chairs were interesting to the tutors, we want to hear what exactly they liked, and if they think this is the idea that fits our topic the most.
other alternatives:
- chairs being moved from sitting to laying position to break conversation.
2. motorized moving fabric between 2 people, moving constantly, separating and uniting again.
3. motorized chairs just turning to and away from each other.
