Some minutes - requests to blog what you remember
Below is a summary of requests for bits which people were talking about at the meeting and could blog with references. By my reckoning the main takeaway from the meeting was the following
Major Developments
Although I’ll get round to writing up the minutes eventually, some key events were…
- Getting a theme. The Common theme has been agreed to be ‘curiosity’ itself. Each piece would then have its own name, like curiosity:pipedreams.
- Setting up some kind of milestone before too long, where we might invite friends, curious people, journalists, others? I’ve set up a tag preview for people to tag their comments on this
- Bunch of opportunities through CSV, IP-ART and others emerging - we just have to decide who we want to work with - there’s a hunger for curiosity
There were a lot of suggestions of things at the meeting which people were going to root out for us and blog up here. I think there was another involving faked broken mirrors in some way, maybe whoever it was could dig it out.
Dave’s twisted map - tag twistedmap
Martin was going to dig out some refs for neural maps which distorted body space according to the density of neurons found at that body part - huge genitals, tiny feet, that kind of thing. Also some stock market representations.
Paul saw something at Edinburgh festival, where countries were swelled according to the media stories which were coming out.
I think Michal had some kind of map thing as well, but didn’t manage to get it down. I’ll blog something up on the Zeitgeist maps if I can find them, and Keith Briggs’ statistician timetables.
Danger High Voltage - tag highvoltage
Chris, do you want to put some stuff up about your coils and other static effects we could use. There was a bit of discussion of making bulbs glow in microwaves, fluorescent tubes glow by rubbing them on your shirt. Any refs of how to do this SAFELY?
Hoberman Sphere - tag swollenballs
This is the amazing growing ball which Dave showed us. There was some kind of link to a massive one in a museum somewhere. Also a link to buy them cheap would be handy if there might be more than one as part of the exhibit.
Miscellaneous
Vero - could you post a link to openstudios? CSV make a difference day?
