Maps and journeys- How the idea could progress (Gallery plans)

I think the video is ok for now and we need to work a lot more on the presentation style and we can think about fine tuning the video/ sound later

We have 2 mains ways we want to display it.

Stick with box idea or go with the bean bag idea i mentioned in a previous post, because of this we have decided to do 2 lots of planning for the gallery.

Box display

  • Resorces needed: Macbook(15inch) + charger, table, plug socket, head phones. 
  • scale drawing :  Table can be any size but must fit box 27cm hight, 38 cm wide and 27 cm depth 
  • drawing of display 





The box would look good in a gallery how ever as it is so small it could get lost in the big room making it easy to miss, but when people do find it make it all the more interesting to them.

hannahs drawing above on the floor plan is obviously not to scale (to be honest I'm not sure what measurements the drawing is) but we would want to place it either on a table or build a plinth for it to sit on.  We thought that a table and chair could work, or maybe even without a chair as you can just peer in the top and put the headphones on.




Bean bag display 

All though we havent done any tests on it at the moment and will then need a lot more work to complete it i feel this is my personal preferred method of displaying it.  This way of displaying it will also not give the same feeling we initially intend but will be alot more relaxingThere are two ways this could go


  1. have two bean bags lied in the middle of the room with a projector in the middle and a laptop to play the sounds the viewer would then have to lie down and relax to full experience the piece as we would project it on to the ceiling 

  • Resources needed: Bean bag, projector, headphones, laptop  + charger + plug socket
  • scale drawing 



2. we could create a small room in the corner of the gallery that people can crawl into and lie down in which we would project the video on the top of the room, how ever we could put speakers int he corners of the room to make it feel like the sound and presence was all around them creating a room would also limited the amount of light pollution spread around the room 


  • Resources needed: Bean bag, projector, speakers, laptop  + charger + plug socket, wood to build room, a wall we could drill into 
  • scale drawing
