Project 3 - Urban Interaction

These are the tasks which should be met as soon as possible for the final project. For the people who were present you guys may skip the rest of this section of the post and proceed to the list of things to do. For the people who weren't present, everyone has decided on a project about a completely furnished office cubicle with a filing cabinet, personalized by a character we shall create, that will be placed in a park for an afternoon. Essentially we will be observing the interaction that takes place between by-passers and the cubicle. The cubicle will have items that the user could interact with during the afternoon. More detailed information will be filled in when you get to class on Thursday. Below is a list the class had created during class.

This list should be carefully read and the tasks be performed A.S.A.P..
The List Of Things To Do:

Current Amount: $90 (Set aside addtional $20 for gas)
Everyone [a]= Buying with budget
Everyone [b] = Bring in

- $20 should be handed to Emily (who will handle the budget) in class on Thursday, July 20th, 2006.
- Maybe ask for volunteers to help move the things we acquire for the project.
- Create a narrative for the character
- What s/he does for work, family life, social life, etc..
- Be prepared to play an Exquisite Corpse type game with your ideas.
- Please look for the following materials:
- cubicle (Justin or whoever)
- file cabinet (Justin or Wai)
- desks (Justin or Jesse)
- chairs (Someone "steal" one and post a comment)
- plastic desk floor cover or carpet or both (Justin or whoever)
- postcards (Everyone [b])
- post-it notes (Michael Erdmann)
- folders (Everyone [a])
- envelopes (Everyone [a][b])
- paper (lined and blank) (Everyone [a][b])
- telephones (Wai)
- pictures (Everyone upload something to the blog)
- lamps (Justin or Emily)
- coffee maker (Ji Eun)
- things to drink with...
- cups (Everyone [b])
- mugs (Everyone [b])
- empty liquor bottles (Emily)
- typing equipment
- laptop (we got it from someone shady? crappy battery >=E) $30

There is also the problem of powering some items like the telephone and the computer. We would need an external power source and if anyone has a backup battery that would be awesome. If anyone with enough knowledge of making a phone ring without an actual connection or knows someone who does please post a reply on the blog.

And about everyone's role in the project... I guess the people who weren't here tonight will have to find out on Thursday... I believe that is all there is to post, however, please post additional information as needed. Good night. =D)))))))))))
