After talking to Fay about what we do/don't like about Museum's and Galleries, I wrote down my own thoughts and opinions and how it links in with our project idea so far...
"I find that some museum experiences can become really impersonal and therefore, I don't feel that I can call my visit an 'experience'. Everything is structured, labelled, placed in it's (correct?) place and then separated from the audience by placement in a cabinet or behind a sheet of glass. Sometimes the actual position of the object in the display cabinet can mean our view is obscured and as a result, we don't really see the object/painting etc in it's full beauty and draw an understanding from it.
What I like about our idea is that it is designed to bring in the public and allow them to become involved in the museum and create their own ideas/art pieces that can be displayed and shared. Their work in turn becomes an artefact in the museum. Something else that can be explored and appreciated by others. With this idea, people can walk around the finished product and participate in the creation as well."
