Process

When we first started brainstorming and iterating we knew that we wanted it to be a spatial experience that played with the idea of light or a lack of it.  We wanted people to focus on all of their senses instead of just sight because people tend to be overreliant on their sense of sight so we had a maze that was in complete darkness.  We found a study room in the basement of Hunt Library that we were able to reserve the date before and the date of our review and then we measured the room to figure out the amount of turns the room could hold.  We then figured out what materials to use and how much we needed.  We decided that we would need ten sheets of three feet by four foot pieces of cardboard.  We then decided to add another layer of meaning onto the project so we decided to make the experience a happening so that the viewers will only experience it once. We decorated the walls with things in life that are important, such as sleep, food, and leisure, as well as social issues like inequality and voting.
