It is very interesting to use yarn to show the entropy of the movement. But since the movement of the yarn depends on the movement of the walking person. So one question I has is what is the algorithms of the walking movement.? How do you incorporate entropy in the movement of a person?

I like the idea of using yarn as it also depicts the movement paths of the people, and restricts their movement as well by being an obstacle. Being able to clearly see the trails of movement in the room really helps in better visualizing the final movement form.

I agree with the second comment in that the string being used as both an obstacle and as a a method to track where people went is very interesting. I also liked that you didn't restrict yourselves by a certain time (unless it was taking a while for everyone to run out of string), which allowed the project to feel more organic. It would have been interesting to see what would've happened if you pulled the tables and chairs to the middle of the floor rather than leaving them on the outskirts.

Thanks for your comments! For the walking movement we decided to move at the fastest pace we could while unwinding our yarn (which ended up being fairly slow) in a straight line from our originating angle. If we had chosen to move in a random direction that may or may not be linear, we felt there would be more entropy, but that we would revert to heading away from each other, towards un-cluttered areas, which was not necessarily the intention of our project. This also relates to the reason we didn't try our experiment in a more cluttered room like a classroom, because we felt we would quickly be trapped by our own yarn patterns, and the interaction with other patterns would be lost.

I really love the idea of using using yarn to create a representation of your movement, while also incorporating it into your movement and algorithm! How do you think the outcome would have changed if you had changed the starting positions to maybe the center of the room, with each of you facing toward a different wall?
