When Jenny came and spoke with our group a key part of her talk that we all picked up on was how animals react in the spaces they are in. We have decided to focus on this idea of “reaction”.
But what does it mean to react to something? React is “something done, felt, or thought in response to a situation or event” (Google definition), reacting is an instinctual behaviour. Some people may think reacting and responding is the same thing, people tend to blur the line between the two, myself and my group however want to focus on the instinctual act of “reacting” as opposed to the more thought out process of responding. We don't want people to have time to sit their and mull over what is in front of them, we want instant and true reactions of the situations that they are put in.
As a group we want to get people to react to certain situations and video them, then display them in some way. The types of things that will cause the most interesting reactions are things that cannot be physically done in a small shipping container space so we want to explore the idea of using a green screen so that people can view themselves in these situations. We will research which types of things will get good reactions out of people, it could also be interesting to vary these ie fear, love etc.
We all know that scaring people will get the best reactions, people with fears will always react. Some common fears are spiders, heights, snakes, fear of small spaces and many more. We will have to look into this more but I think it could be interesting to have more of a variety of reactions instead of them all being fears. Some other things people react to for example are cute things ie puppies etc. These reactions may not even be provoked by sight it could be noise, we could have audio playing.
