Brief two introduction and Research

Notes from class

I also looked at some videos:

-Was thinking it would be cool to incorporate some kinetic stuff activated by hand movements causing projections.

For this brief I originally wanted to do the Bessie Murray dolls because I like the whole personal feel to the dolls and how they were specifically made from real people that the artist saw in a local bakery. I did find this in the book in class but found other info from the website of Te Papa, it doesn't say whether is is still showing but I did see everything else in the book at Te Papa.

For an interactive digital experience I thought of maybe doing a spinning structure where you turn the doll around and uncover more secrets about the doll which would be projected digitally with maybe some audio.

For my second idea I went for the Buller's Shearwater bird. I was interested in how some people used birds such as these to navigate back by using the birds to show where they had been.

For an interactive experience I was thinking of maybe making people look up up and seeing the shadows of the birds flying. This could maybe lead on to leading users to info maybe? However still not sure.

In the end I decided to go with a native new zealand bird such as maybe the kakapo or tui which are in either floor one or two of Te papa in the birds collection. This would maybe correspond to my target audience more of tourists because they would want to know more about things unique to New Zealand.

For an interactive digital experience I was thinking of maybe incorporating the geographical knowledge of birds maybe either displayed on the glass of where the birds are or even on the ground (The individual birds aren't that big).

I still need to do more research and then I'll try sketch some concepts up.
