workshop day

It has been an interesting day in gouda. Vincent, Mirella and Vivian participated alongside staff from the achieve, museum and library in an interview exercise: walking into the city and interviewing people about their interests and connections to the gouda. we also presented your short ideas - here are some samples:

piotr:
"I’d like to collect passive reflections of the city – through information, through movement, through patterns of interaction. This would be through systems that do not require much effort on the part of participants – in some cases, no more than mere presence. Sensors, microphones, live video recordings in places throughout the city – each would collect a feature of Gouda, adding to a collection of impressions. This data would then be placed back into the library, museum, and archive - marking the everyday, showing how culture is reflected in small things."


vivian:
"Throw a secret party. Clues to be released among the three institutions in a puzzle, scavenger hunt. Flyers will be posted on trees and walls with minimal information. Perhaps just a graphic with a starting arrow and following the flyers to the party location."

"Using an empty storefront, a local hangout and work space will be created for the teenagers to feel at ease to drop by and rent cameras and use the computers for editing."

nancy:
"Occupy the canals with self-crafted modified water vessels and have a carnival of fantastical Ships."

"This event encourages local people to crafts [or modify] their own water vessels, which are of course functional water crafts but of course and hopefully eccentric objects that are works of art as well. This annual event would potentially attracting new people to the region for this curious feature but also inspiring the Locals to delve into their city and the water that is a big part of the past and hopefully
the future."

mirella:
"A fantasy plan for patching Gouda together.

corinne:
"We could:
- develop new ways of (re)presenting, experiencing and preserving the past through the use of leading edge technologies (virtual reality, 3D-visualisation, also GPS, text messages).
- and empower individuals and small groups in local communities to share and document common interests, memories, views of their local heritage, thus building a living image of regional heritage in Gouda
Let people collaborate by means of a pervasive game! "
