EXPERIENCES TRAVEL ACROSS CHANNELS

THOUGH SOMETIMES THEY STILL DONT

EXERCISE #1

PART 2PLACE-MAKING

SPACE & PLACE

SPACE IS THE BASE EXPERIENCE OF OUR EMBODIMENT AS HUMAN BEINGS, AND IT IS OBJECTIVE, IMPERSONAL, UNDIFFERENTIATED

INFORMATION SPACES DO NOT USUALLY MAP TO A SINGLE PHYSICAL REPRESENTATION

BUT THEY NEED TO BE PLACES IF THEY WANT TO PROVIDE US WITH SATISFYING EXPERIENCES

PLACE INVOLVES, BESIDESPHYSICAL SPACE, MEMORIES, EXPERIENCES, ANDBEHAVIORAL PATTERNS: IT ISPERSONAL, SUBJECTIVE, AND COMMUNITARIAN

PLACE IS WHERE WE PAUSESPACE IS WHERE WE MOVE

EXERCISE #2

KEVIN LYNCH, SKETCHES MNSU.EDU

DISTINCTIONS WERE MADE AMONG THE DIFFERENT PHYSICAL PARTS OF THE CITY THESE WERE ORGANIZED IN APERSONALLY MEANINGFUL MESH

PEOPLE WERE RECONNECTING PERCEIVED FRAGMENTS IN MEANINGFUL PATTERNS

THE IDEAS OF SPACE AND EMBODIMENT SHAPE THE WAY WE PERCEIVE REALITY crashlanden.wordpress.com

THIS IDEA OF SPACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GEOMETRY cxmagazine.com

SPACE IS NEITHER PHYSICAL NOR MATHEMATICAL, AND HAS MAN AT ITS CENTER flickr.com, CC 2.0

SPACE IS NOT HOMOGENEOUS: ALL REFERENCES HAPPEN WITHIN A SUBJECTIVE SYSTEM flickr.com, CC 2.0

SPACE IS PATHS AND EXPERIENCE. IT CORRESPONDS TO WHAT WE PERCEIVE emotionaladroit.wordpress.com

SPACE IS ACTUALLY A SEQUENCE OF HISTORICALLY DEFINED IDEAS OF SPACE englishbaby.com

THAT IS, IT HAS EVOLVED FOR ALMOST ANYONE flatearthsociety.org

#1 CONTEXT IS SPATIAL

SCENECAMERA POVAUDIENCE

“ The enlargement of the engraved wedding announcement appears as an entirely new picture. The room suddenly disappears and the hand which holds the card flashes up. Again when we have read the card, it suddenly disappears and we are in the “ same room again

SOMEWHERE ELSE1 2 SCENE SCENE

THIS IS ALL ABOUT MEANING AND SENSE-MAKING

“ Another marked peculiarity of the Impressionists is the truncated composition, the placing in the foreground of the picture of fragments of figures and objects. There is thought and purpose in this “ apparent oddness. Child, 1887

#4 ALL MEDIA EVOLVE ALANGUAGE FOR SENSE-MAKING AND PLACE-MAKING

SCENECAMERA POVAUDIENCE

TRADITIONALLY SPACE HAS BEEN USED TO TIE LOOSENARRATIVES INTO STORIES

QUESTS CONNECT MAPS WITH PERSONAL SPACE

QUESTS ARE A MIDDLEGROUND BETWEEN NARRATIVE AND ACTIONABILITY

THEY BUILD A SENSE OF PLACE THROUGH STORYTELLING
