Short report of first meeting/brainstorm 22 April, Concordia

Museum's plans for 1 May and the longer term

Julia Zwijnenburg briefly presented the long-term plans that the museum has -- developing an online tool for determination of plateel (based on stamps and signatures at the back of the ceramics) and discussion / stories around it.

At the plateelkeuring, flyers will be handed out where people are asked for feedback about such a potential tool: what do they expect from it, what are they interested in?

Handing out these flyers will run in parallel with the actual "taxation" and determination of the ceramics that people bring. The Patchingzone intervention/action will also run in parallel.

Patchingzone intervention

Patchingzone wants to work with strong artistic focus.

Ideas that have been discussed:
- emotions
- family / history of a piece
- value in various aspects: financial, artistic ("beauty")
- alternative perspectives, aspects to draw information from ceramics: sound (record player analogy, tapping ceramics to determine if broken or not)
- final idea from brainstorm: generate sound from visual input, camera registers moving image from patterns on ceramics and this is converted to audio.
