AFTER RESEARCHING FAIRGROUND IMAGERY IN THE LIBRARY I FOUND IT HARD TO FIND IN BOOKS BUT I DID COME ACROSS A LOT OF IMAGERY THAT MIGHT HAVE ONCE BEEN CONSIDERED 'FREAKISH MATERIAL'. WITHOUT OFFENDING ANYONE OR REVERTING TO AN UN POLITICALLY CORRECT TIME OF TERMINOLOGY I AM WANTING TO CONVERT THE SITE/ MEETING SPACE THIS WEEK INTO A PLACE OF CONFRONTATION AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE AROUND THE 1920'S.

BRAINSTORM OF 2ND MEETING PLACE: A FAIR

EXPERIMENTAL FLOOR PLAN OF BACKPACKERS WITH EXPERIMENTAL RENDERING

LEFT PLAN IS BOTTOM FLOOR, RIGHT IS 2ND FLOOR WITH DOORS OUT TO ROOF OF NEIGHBOURING BOAT SHED.

(LATE POST) HERE IS MY BRAINSTORMS AND JOURNEY MAP RELATED TO A BACKPACKERS. I HAVE ALSO ADDED A SITE SKETCH THAT INDICATES INTERACTION FROM PEOPLE WITH AND AROUND THE BOAT SHEDS.

TO GET AN IDEA OF THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT STAY IN BACKPACKERS I MADE A GENERAL SEARCH ON GOOGLE. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES THAT GOOGLE IMAGES PROVIDES WHEN I SEARCHED BACKPACKERS (THE PEOPLE). WITHOUT STEREOTYPING OR GENERALIZING ALL IMAGES SUGGEST THAT THESE PEOPLE ARENT CONCERNED WITH MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, OVER THE TOP HYGIENE OR BEING AN INTROVERT.

CHOSEN IDEA FOR THIS WEEK IS A BACKPACKERS. TO THIS SHORT FILM I OVERLAID MUSIC TO SOUND LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE A BOAT SHED AND CROWD NOISE FROM A BAR. THE BAR NOISE IS QUITE HARD TO HEAR AS I ALSO INSERTED OUTDOOR NOISE TO CONNECT THE LOCATION WITH THE IDEA AND THE SORT OF SOUNDS OR ASSOCIATIONS ONE MIGHT HAVE WIH A BACKPACKERS.
