crit with steve hoffman 9/10/12



  • communication to the public in previous projects was kind of leaving them in the dark about my ideas and the reason for the activity.
  • voyerism- the practice of obtaining sexual gratification by looking at sexualobjects or acts, especially secretively.
  • leeds council- leeds city trails
  • research the argument
  • student rail card
  • trans penine, leeds-manchester, leeds-liverpool
  • the difference between long hall and short hall journeys (what people are doing on these journeys and compare the statistics that are gathered. 
  • Satire
  • , is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant"[2]—but parodyburlesqueexaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack.Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics.

  • look into instruction manuals

  • http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Mac_Pro_User_Guide.pdf
  • user guide and combing graphics designs
  • specific diagrams on how to spy on people
  • e.g. drawings of people in the reflection
  • e.g. mirrors used as a spy techniques
  • need to investigate and find statistics that validate my reason for this project.
  • there is a correlation between the reflection in the screens of phones, and the reflaction in the window to the outside world. 
  • same shape of screen and window... both have reflections.
  • IDEA: hand out national express style manuals/leaflets on 'how to effectively spy on people' - dress in national express uniform. so its a performance and then an activity. i don't think ACTUALLY pretending i'm a member of staff is a good idea and also doesnt enable me to explain the project to anyone... also if i have statistics it gives me the confidence to take this through and talk to the public about it
  • documentation of performance? hidden Dictaphone?
