I love the addition of the hole in the corner (blue panel), it very precisely indicates the nature of these boards as samples. I did the set ups with silver paper very quickly. Perhaps a silver band can run through the width of the space or a triangle in a corner.

Lets get physical! Making Appointments!


I think this is something to remember- the physicalness of all our discussion.
Simplicity
I think now that I look again the slide projector is way too much- we can ask if there is a possibility to get one incase. But I would rather say no to my to much suggestion. The lighting situation we can play with- but I would start with basic cold light (could also use timer on this- on a mirrored surface it has a good effect)

Elements of a scenario

1. Office table (black) with adapted top 
Biege/dark cream opaque perspex (at the RCA thing we used opaque cream it was very good- I think an opaque would be best anyway)

2. Box monitor under table with speakers playing VIDEO CLASS

3. Slide stand (black) with adapted shelf surface (mirror) OR shelf mounted on wall made with mirror, sitting on the mirror is a paper mache brocoli (muted bean green) out of which comes headphones playing BUILD A WALL OR BE A ROOM

4. thin board (2mm MDF?) approx 177cm x 80cm, painted hi-gloss mint green leaning against the wall created a slightly limp or curving surface. At the bottom of the slightly limp wood is a collage (yet to be defined) A4 size

5. Optional. Next to hi-gloss mint green a piece of 3mm aluminium 60cm x 150cm coated in hi-gloss paint (needs to be done professionally) in midnight blue. Top right hand side a hole is drilled through the plate, which depending on lighting conditions and how close it's placed to the wall casts a shadow on the wall behind. 

6. Performance- Ruth and Rachel sit opposite each other at the table and adjust the tube light to flicker at a slower speed, the use a microphone and speakers and Ruth speaks (text not defined yet- but mostly about disappearance?) looking in Rachels eyse. This could be called Appointment
