Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

I think this game may be even worse than our parking spot game.

More Ducks and Atlantic Sta Thoughts 9/29

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

For Ducks Feed People:
-Would an infrared light motion sensor be a better way to detect the
ducks than using a computer’s camera-vision?
-Do we need to design a kiosk that would sit on the bridge and house
everything, or should the candy dispensing kiosk be separate from the
motion sensor and computer, and either connected wirelessly or by
wires?
-Will we install anything to video the people and the ducks? Or, are
there already cameras set up in the park we could get access to?

For Atlantic Station parking garage intervention:
-It might be helpful to try to find the blueprints of the garage, to
make very accurate sketches of layout and where our additions will be
-I really liked the idea of windshield cards, and a camera kiosk &
photo kiosk, and I’d still like to try to do the posters
-Let’s make people feel as if they’ve had a strange dream in the
garage … and perhaps they feel uncannily compelled to return to the
garage… but we try to keep the experience somehow a little subtle,
and keep it interwoven into the existing garage, so that it’s not overbearingly ridiculous.

Parking Garage: Studio Brainstorm Notes 9-22

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

Atlantic Station Garage: the garage is a theme park: an ironic psychological repositioning
-would anyone notice?
-instead of posters, you could put postcards on people’s windshields so they pretty much have to notice
-playing with recognizable posters and subverting design (we want you … to visit the atlantic station parking garage)
-could also promote other parking garages? Phipps Plaza parking garage? Make attack ads – set up some competition between the cities parking garages … (replication … repetition …) Ikea, High Museum, on campus at GT, WalMart on Howell Mill
-You could have huge distribution – if you do multiple garages all at once – and it might seem to people that it was always there
-put up posters with wheat paste so they’re hard to take down
-maybe it’s a good thing that people don’t notice … you could film people not noticing
-make a “take your photo here” wood cutout so you pretend to be in the garage when you’re in the garage
-OR >> take photos of people on the ramp entering the garage (like the flash on the roller coaster) and ask them to buy their photos when they exit the garage. Maybe you augment the photos with people cheering and pointing, add a sense of wonder?
-Set up booth at top of stairs so when they are coming up out of the garage, you try to sell them photos of themselves you took one second ago

>>maybe we add characters, like Disney, to the parking garage?
Sir Parks Alot, etc …
You can get your photo taken with a character?
