The curiosity often drives people’s attention to imaging what’s inside a construction site, this could be symbolized by knowing someone on social media, or the truth of the news. The way of peeking could be symbolized by searching the information on the internet.
I have found the website of the site in Old Street, London.
Interestingly, if you try to go deeper into the location, you can find much information about Old Street, the history and the prospect of it. Conversely, very few about Sixty six City Road.
Above are the rich history of Old Street and how the property agents boast about it to try to sell at a better price.
There is even have no street that names Sixty Six City Road. But if I try an alternative way of “Sixty Six” to “66”, you could have different information. Here is the point, the information could lead you to the wrong path so easily, then how could you know the “truth” you found is true?
To put these “wrong” searches further, I tried to use google images, It always shows the most direct message of the keywords. Then I got the results of Sixty Six City Road, which are seemingly not the same location but share the same name.
experiment:
The brief of the final outcome could be the mix-up of the information that was searched on the internet to make it be the “true identity” inside of the place, at the same time, having the mix-up information about how the place currently is on the “plate”. Using AR as a tool to enhance the feeling of peeking — searching.
Since here has been my second week to do the project, there should have more to go after this.
Feedback:
- Maybe finding place on google maps is not interesting thing?
More interesting is looking through the construction sites and finding out looking through and exploring different levels of transparency around the site. Looking through gaps, mesh etc - Maybe the idea of true or false isn’t strong enough to go on with a project on.
- Looking at transparency, the process of trying to understand what is happening behind the construction site without being allowed access.
- Like the idea of putting the wording and images in context on the site using VR is a strong concept, use a different subject matter.
- Using the different visuals from the contraction site in your visuals potentially.
- A really good start – Last week you were looking at looking and that was the interesting thing about your project – how can you continue that on. Looking through the gaps
